Animal biotechnology could have dramatic, positive impacts on human health and agriculture. Biotech firms are developing transgenic animals to: provide organs for human transplantation, provide proteins for pharmaceutical and industrial production, limit environmental harm from agricultural practices, and improve production traits such as disease resistance. 2, record 1, English, - animal%20biotechnology

De tous temps, l'homme s'est efforcé de transformer la nature, par exemple en procédant à l'élevage d'animaux. La biotechnologie animale moderne se distingue toutefois de l'élevage traditionnel, notamment par les caractéristiques suivantes : - les méthodes utilisées : intervention directe au niveau microscopique (cellules, ADN, gènes) à l'aide de techniques très complexes, - la portée des nouvelles méthodes : elles permettent de franchir les barrières entre les espèces, et même entre règnes (végétaux, animaux, humains); la rapidité et la précision des techniques en cause, la mise en œuvre d'applications entièrement nouvelles, telles que les xénotransplantations. 2, record 1, French, - biotechnologie%20animale

The Animal Biotechnology Unit (ABU) of the Animal Health and Production Division, Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is responsible for establishing animal health standards and augmenting regulatory controls for the development of biotechnology-derived animals. The current mandate of the Animal Biotechnology Unit is to evaluate the assisted reproductive technologies used in livestock production (for example animal cloning, transgenic animal production or other genetic manipulations) with a focus on animal health and welfare. 1, record 2, English, - Animal%20Biotechnology%20Unit

The term "biotechnology-derived animals" is an extension of the definition of biotechnology. It refers to animals which have been generated through biotechnological methods. This term may include, but not be limited to, the following categories of animals (Adlakha-Hutcheon, 2001): genetically engineered or modified animals in which genetic material has been added, deleted, silenced or altered to influence the expression of genes and traits, clones of animals derived or somatic cells, chimeric animals, interspecies hybrids, animals derived from in vitro cultivation such as maturation or manipulation of embryos. 1, record 3, English, - biotechnology%2Dderived%20animal
