Animal biotechnology is the study of the techniques of manipulating the genetic material to achieve the desired effects in animals. This book extensively deals with the basics and recent developments in Animal Biotechnology in a simplified manner. The detailed and systematic discussion about each topic with illustrations and examples would help the readers to understand the different aspects of animal biotechnology. The book also covers the Intellectual Property Rights, and biosafety guidelines to be adopted in the laboratory are also included. The meticulously written book would be of immense help to students, researchers and teachers in the field of biotechnology.
