Genetic Engineering in Livestock: New Applications and Interdisciplinary Perspectives (Ethics of Science and Technology Assessment)
Margret Engelhard (Editor), Kristin Hagen (Editor), Matthias Boysen (Editor)
Product Details
ISBN-10: 3540858423 | ISBN-13: 978-3540858423 | Publication Date: November 21, 2008 | Edition: 1
Upcoming applications of genetic engineering in farm animals include higher yields, leaner meat, or disease resistance. The proceedings cover an analysis of the state of the art of the technology and its applications, an introduction to the specific application zoopharming (a method to produce biopharmaceuticals in transgenic livestock), including an analysis of the market for biopharmaceuticals. In addition an assessment of ethical aspects of livestock biotechnology and considerations regarding animal welfare implications are covered. The study is addressed to science, industry and politics.
