The mammary gland has an incredible level of organization and a remarkable ability to
convert circulating nutrients into milk components. This review highlights four areas of high …

Colostrum is the specific first diet of mammalian neonates and is rich in immunoglobulins,
antimicrobial peptides, and growth factors. In this article we review some of these …

Sentience–the ability to feel, perceive and experience–is central to the animal welfare
debate as it raises the question of whether animals experience suffering in life and death …

We describe the generation of five sheep transgenic for a fusion of the ovine β-lactoglobulin
gene promoter to the human α1-antitrypsin (hα1AT) genomic sequences. Four of these …

To enhance milk composition and milk processing efficiency by increasing the casein
concentration in milk, we have introduced additional copies of the genes encoding bovine β …

Genetic engineering of livestock is expected to have a major effect on the agricultural
industry. However, accurate assessment of the consequences of transgene expression is …

Plants are a promising expression system for the production of heterologous proteins,
especially therapeutic proteins. Currently the majority of therapeutic proteins are produced …

Objective. Recent reports warn that the worldwide cell culture capacity is insufficient to fulfill
the increasing demand for human protein drugs. Production in milk of transgenic animals is …

A transgenic bovine is disclosed whose somatic and germ cells contain a transgene,
wherein the transgene comprising a mammary gland specific promoter, a mammary gland …

We have combined gene transfer, by microinjection, with 'in vitro'embryo production
technology, enabling us to carry out non-surgical transfer, to recipient cows, of microinjected …
