Abstract
The use of biotechnology has proved to be a key factor in handling different
livestock problems. Many issues have proved to be silent killers, and their appropriate
diagnosis and treatment are the need of the hour. Advancement in biotechnology and
genomics is being used in preventive and clinical medicine, production of recombinant
biotechnology-derived vaccines, molecular gene cloning, application of polymerase
chain reaction (PCR), Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length
polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), gene
therapy and many more. This chapter will cover the use of genomics and biotechnology
in veterinary medicine.
Keywords: Diagnosis, Genomics, Livestock, Treatment.
