Animal biotechnology- the Malaysian perspective

Abstract

Until a few years ago the application of biotechnology in animal agriculture was very limited but recent advances in biotechnology have demonstrated its potential uses in animal health and production. Most of these activities are very much at the preliminary stages of development. In Malaysia there are at least three major areas of research on the role of bio-technology in animal health and production. These are genetics and reproduction nutrition and animal health. Modern biotechnology research is concerned with some of the most complex and elegant techniques which are yet to be applied in biological science. It is essential that expertise in these new technologies be developed before long term and expensive research projects in animal biotechnology are undertaken locally. The impact of biotechnology on the livestock industry is far reaching. Its practical applications in animal agriculture and veterinary medicine are enormous. The application of this technology in Malaysia can lead to useful products and processes.
