Document Summary
They can cut the plasmid open with a restriction enzyme and add a gene and the glue it back together with dna ligase. You could just copy a high producing regular cow rather than trying to breed her (when you might get a male calf and with only half of her genes) a. iii. 2. There are many potential practical applications for the use of transgenic livestock, including: a. i. 1. Enhanced growth rates, improved carcasses, resistance to disease, enhanced feed efficiency, improved milk production, enhanced reproductive efficiency, and gene pharming for human medicine. Livestock: agricultural applications, the production of transgenic livestock is a rapidly developing field that has the potential to impart nearly limitless benefits on the efficiency of animal agriculture, examples include: b. i. Modification of milk composition or production of novel milk proteins b. ii. Understanding control of growth and of carcass composition b. iii. Several hundred transgenic rodent lines have been developed in ordered to study a myriad of diseases.
