Abstract
Tremendous progress has been made in recent years in understanding the biochemical and physiological basis of the genetic control of growth and development. Many of these advances have been made through molecular approaches or biotechnology. The techniques of biotechnology have benefitted and will continue to benefit the poultry industry of the future. Future benefits will come about from several different directions, including: 1) the production of transgenic animals; 2) the production of more effective biologicals, vaccines and diagnostic procedures; 3) the production of feed‐grade enzymes; and by, 4) novel biological approaches to the reduction and utilization of industry waste.
