Transgenic animals that produce useful biological products can be created by the introduction of the portion of DNA or genes which codes for a particular product such as human protein a-1-antitrypsin used to treat emphysema tissue plasmogen activator goat blood clotting factors VIII and IX sheep and lactoferrin cow. Transgenic animals have given great benefit to the field of biotechnology especially the fields of agriculture. Transgenic animals 1.

Let us have a detailed look at the process importance and applications of transgenic animals.

Transgenic farm animals are important in human medicine as a source of biologically active proteins as donors in xenotransplanta- tion and for a research in cell and gene therapy.

The animal production industry is gradually reaching towards revolution due to the development of genetic map knowledge of expression of genes and techniques for large propagation. There are several methodologies employed in producing transgenic animals. This would enable not only the addition of gene constructs but.
