Biotechnology is the use of biological processes, organisms, or systems to manufacture products intended to improve the quality of human life. The earliest biotechnologists were farmers who developed improved species of plants and animals by cross pollenization or cross breeding. In recent years, biotechnology has expanded in sophistication, scope, and applicability. Animal biotechnology is an integral component of agriculture. Animal agriculture is being transformed by rapid advances in biotechnology " a term that encompasses a variety of technologies, including genetic engineering (GE), genetic modification, transgenics, recombinant DNA techniques, and cloning, among others. This valuable book sets out to show that the important ideas in animal biotechnology are exciting and relevant to everyday experience. Graduates students of various agriculture and animal husbandry academia, teachers, professionals will find this book as a very useful resource guide in their study and work.

At its most basic, biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes occurring in living matter. However, this simple definition encompasses an incredibly diverse field of research that touches nearly all aspects of our lives. One of the most pressing issues in our society, environmental degradation, is being addressed by biochemists. The wide concept of "biotech" or "biotechnology" encompasses a wide range of procedures for modifying living organisms according to human purposes, going back to domestication of animals, cultivation of plants, and "improvements" to these through breeding programs that employ artificial selection and hybridization. Modern usage also includes genetic engineering as well as cell and tissue culture technologies. It would be difficult to overstate the importance of the role biochemistry and biotechnology play in all our lives. Advances in biochemistry and biotechnology directly influence our health, environment and economy. The fields are constantly changing with new discoveries being made all the time. This valuable book is an important resource guide for all those concerned with biochemical and biotechnology fields.
