Abstract

Biotechnology has a revolutionary impact in all areas of knowledge on Biology. Specifically, agricultural biotechnologies applied to animal breeding and health can be applied to a wide range of different purposes ranging from the diagnostic of animal diseases, vaccine development, genetic improvement of animal populations increasing their performance or effectiveness, characterization and preservation of livestock genetic resources and improvement of food destines to animals.

 

The contribution offered by agricultural biotechnologies to face the challenges of ensuring food safety without destroying the base of environment resources is an aspect to be considered.

Since the beginning of the 80s, the National Center for Animal and Plant Health (CENSA), which is a scientific institution created in 1969, began working on the introduction and use of biotechnological tools in the performance of its work goals in its two main branches: animal health and plant protection.

In this review, some results on the application of these technologies on animal health and breeding are presented.
