Introduction to Animal Science

Technology/Biotechnology

What is research?

  • When you look up something
  • Searching for something (information)
  • Determining what is best
  • Studying a given subject

Genetic Engineering

  • The movement of genes from one cell to another.
  • produced two hormones that have improved efficiency in dairy cattle and pork production
  • Bovine Somatotropin (BST)
  • Porcine Somatotropin (PST).

Embryo Transfer

  • A process that removes fertilized eggs from a female and places them in another female who carries them until birth
  • Being used by the livestock industry to improve the quality of their animals
  • Superior females are now able to produce more offspring than if they were to carry the embryo the full term
