Record 1 2002-04-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biotechnology
  • Mammals
CONT

The success of this cell-based prototype system has encouraged Nexia to continue the scale up of manufacturing spider silk protein within its transgenic BELE (Breed Early, Lactate Early) goat system.

OBS

BELE goats are year-round breeder... Males are sexually active as early as 3 mo, and females are fertile at 3 to 6 mo. This early maturity compresses the generation interval required to generate a production herd. As a result, when using the BELE goat system, the recombinant protein of interest, purified from the milk, is available sooner.

PHR

BELE goat, goat model, goat system, system.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biotechnologie
  • Mammifères
CONT

Le défi des chèvres-araignées [...] La chèvre s'avérant moins chère à l'élevage qu'une vache, Nexia a sélectionné une race particulière (BELE : Breed early lactate early : reproduction précoce lactation précoce) et a fait naître, voilà un an, Webster et Peter, les premières chèvres transgéniques produisant dans leur lait de la soie de trame d'araignée. Les applications vont des dispositifs médicaux de fermetures de plaies aux prothèses des ligaments, en passant par des fibres industrielles et les gilets pare-balles [...]

PHR

Chèvre BELE, technique BELE.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Animal Breeding
  • Microbiology and Parasitology
  • Mammals
CONT

Like sheep and beef cattle breeding, Angora goat breeding is characterised by a very limited number of artificial inseminations. Therefore the male breeding animals have only a small number of progeny, often born in one herd.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Amélioration génétique des animaux
  • Microbiologie et parasitologie
  • Mammifères
DEF

Mutation récessive qui, chez les mammifères, se caractérise par l'apparition d'un pelage long et soyeux.

OBS

La fixation de ce caractère est à l'origine de diverses races : chèvre Angora (ou Mohair), lapin Angora.
