Objectives of the Course

Biotechnology is for Livestock sector opens that new horizons for the range of services. Can teach that collection of oocytes and embryos and sperm. also these can learn the replication process, and transfer operations.The production and development of animals contributes for the highest genotype.The information teaches about Cloning and re-cloning studies.Can make Marker Assisted Selection and Molecular Identification
