Biotechnology plays a significant role in enhancing disease resistance in poultry by enabling more precise and efficient approaches to breeding, vaccination, and diagnostics.
-
Biotechnology helps poultry resist diseases by improving vaccines, breeding stronger birds, and detecting infections early.
-
1. Genetic Improvement for disease resistance
2. Development of better vaccine
3. Rapid disease diagnosis (molecular tools)
4. Genetic engineering and CRISPR
5. Probiotics and immune boosters
-
The major biotechnological advances that can be applied in poultry industry
will include molecular genetics, molecular immunology and solid-state
reactions. The elucidation of genetic code and the development of techniques
to manipulate genes offer new opportunities for changing pathogenic agents
and chickens to reduce the effect of disease and improve productivity.
