Role Of Animal Sciences In National Development: Biotechnology For Human Welfare

The impact of biotechnology on human life and economic progress of various nations world over has given a major impetus to accelerate research, development and applications of this field in relevant socioeconomic sectors. The Biotechnology is truly multidisciplinary in nature and it encompasses several disciplines of basic sciences and engineering. The Science disciplines from which biotechnology draws heavily are Engineering, computer science, cell and molecular biology, microbiology, chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, immunology, cell and tissue culture, physiology, virology, recombinant DNA technology (Genetic manipulation of bacteria, viruses, fungi, plants and animals, often for the development of specific products). Biostatistics and enzymology on the engineering side it leans heavily on process chemical and biochemical engineering since large scale cultivation of microorganisms and cells, their downstream processing are based on them. On the basis of biotechnology it is, possible to treat various incurable diseases even it works to treat for cancer disease.
