Animal Biotech
• Animals provide a number of products we use in every day life.
– Milk
– Leather
– Wool
– Eggs
– Meat

Roles of Animals in Biotech
• Animals are involved in lab experiments.
• Without the use of animals humans might be in danger.

Animal Models
• 4 models apply for the use of animals.
– Living animals
– Living animal tissues or systems
– Non-Living systems

Animal Models
• Computer and Mathematical approaches
![Page 6: Animal biotech](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062704/5561ac66d8b42ae9708b520b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Living Animals
• These animals are living and usually have no threat to their well being.
• Such animals may be known as laboratory or scientific animals.
• Agricultural Research often uses experimental groups of animals.
![Page 7: Animal biotech](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062704/5561ac66d8b42ae9708b520b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Living animal tissues or systems
• Animal tissues can be cultured in a lab.
• This saves:– the use of animals as well as the expense of feeding,
housing, and cleaning up after the animals.

Non-Living Systems
• Involves using non living mechanical models that reflect animal activity.
• These often relate to skeletal movement and locomotion
• Artificial replacement parts, such as hip joints can be studied using non living systems.

Computer and mathematical approaches
• Computer simulations with virtual reality and other uses help in biotechnology.
• Computer modeling may be done with a propose
biotechnology practice before it is tested with animals.

Laboratory animals
• A laboratory animal is an animal used for laboratory or research purpose.
• Good tending is needed to assume that the research is properly carried out.
• Without research involving animals, scientists would not have a base.

Animal Species• Most animals are subjects of study at one time or
another.• Most common species used in research laboratories:
– mice,
– rats, and
– hamsters.
• A primate

Animal Reproduction
• Reproduction is a process by which offspring are produced.
• Sexual Reproduction is the union of a sperm and egg to ultimately produce a new individual.
• The union of the sperm and egg is called fertilization.
• Semen- the fluid produced by the male reproductive organs, contains sperm.
![Page 13: Animal biotech](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062704/5561ac66d8b42ae9708b520b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Animal Reproduction
• Copulation- is the sexual uniting of animals so the male can ejaculate semen near the eggs in the reproductive tract of the female.
![Page 14: Animal biotech](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062704/5561ac66d8b42ae9708b520b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Reproductive Development• Puberty-is the time at which an animal is capable of
reproduction.
• Fertilization- union of the sperm and egg results in the formation of a zygote
• Gestation- is the period of pregnancy in animals.
• Parturition- is the birthing process.
• Lactation- is the secretion of milk by the mammary glands.
![Page 15: Animal biotech](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062704/5561ac66d8b42ae9708b520b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Reproductive Development
• Dry time is a time when mammals are not lactating.
![Page 16: Animal biotech](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062704/5561ac66d8b42ae9708b520b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Estrous Cycle
• Estrous is a time when a female is fertile and receptive to a male.
• The estrous cycle is the time between the estrous.
• The three periods in the estrous cycle that follow estrous are metestrus, diestrus, and proestrus.
![Page 17: Animal biotech](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062704/5561ac66d8b42ae9708b520b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Artificial Insemination• Artificial insemination is the transfer if collected semen to a
recipient female.
• It is used with sheep, beef cattle, turkeys, and swine.
• Generally female estrous cycles are regulated with hormone injections.
• Sperm are collected from males by artificially promoting ejaculation.

Gender Preselection
• Gender preselection is choosing the gender of a potential offspring.
• Gender preselection may be done by sorting sperm.
• The DNA content of sperm varies slightly based on the gender of the offspring that would result from conception.
![Page 19: Animal biotech](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062704/5561ac66d8b42ae9708b520b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Embryo Transfer• Embryo transfer is the harvesting of fertilized ova
from a donor and implanting them into a recipient.
• The harvested embyros are transferred to a recipient.
• Non surgical transfer involves flushing the embryos from the uterine horn.

Bovine Somatotropin• Bovine somatotropin is a natural occurring growth
hormone produced in the pituitary gland in the endocrine system.
• By treating dairy cattle with the hormone, milk
production is increased approximately 15%.
• Some small dairy producers do not use BST and incorporate that fact in their advertising.

Transgenic Animals and Products
• Pigs- have been used to manufacture human hemoglobin.
• A xenograft is the practice of grafting an organ or a tissue from one species into another.
![Page 22: Animal biotech](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062704/5561ac66d8b42ae9708b520b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Transgenic Animals and Products
• Mice- transgenetic mice have been used in several ways.
• One of the best known is to produce human antibodies.
• Cattle- are used to control disease such as mastitis in dairy cows.

Methods of creating transgenetic animals
• Step One- collect embryos
• With proper stimulation far more embryos can be obtained than would be the natural result of the reproductive process.
• Step Two- Inject embyros.
• A pro nucleus is the haploid nucleus of the sperm or ovum that have united in fertilization to form a zygote.

Methods of creating transgenetic animals
• Step Three- Zygote Culture
• The zygotes are placed in the oviduct of a recipient female.
