Preface
Biotechnology is undoubtledly one of the most important scientific areas in the future of mankind. In the second millennium, the cooperations between the scientific branches that are much more open to novelty such as molecular genetics, genetic engineering, proteomics, and targeted production technologies, have generated great opportunities for human and animal welfare, nutrition and health issues. Novel biotechnological products and techniques developed for the improvement of existing classical agricultural and animal husbandry will also be environment and nature friendly. As biotechnology is a complexity of all the areas of cell and tissue culture, molecular biology, microbiology, genetic sciences, and almost all engineering technologies, it is targeted at development of new technologies and/or products that are closely related to productivity of animals, animal yields, or health. For example, recombinant DNA technologies have been commonly used to produce specific enzymes and proteins that are not sufficiently synthesized by the organisms themselves or tha
