VPB 321: Animal Biotechnology (2+1)

ANIMAL NUTRITION BIOTECHNOLOGY

• Biotechnology research in the third field of animal nutrition concentrates on improvements in the enzymatic treatment of feed; the addition of inoculant to ensilaged fodder for better and faster conversion and
• Decreasing the anti-nutritional factors in certain plants, such as legumes, which are used as feed.
• In developing countries, such techniques might eventually increase the potential range of crops used to feed larger herds of livestock.
