"Biotechnology as any technique that used living organisms to make or modify a product, to improve plants or animals or to develop microorganisms for specific uses. The document focuses on the development and application of modern animal biotechnology based on new enabling techniques of animal tissue culture, genetic and protein engineering, enzyme and recombinant DNA technology, gene cloning, human and animal health, production of antimicrobial drugs, the general manipulation of genes by selective breeding and techniques such as artificial insemination, embryo transfer, etc.
The text is intended for under-and post-graduate students of pure and applied sciences of all Indian Universities and also for non-specialists in other disciplines who wish to understand animal biotechnology."
