Animal biotechnology is the application of biotechnology in processing and production of several materials by animal or aquatic species in order to improve human life. Scientists use biotechnology to overcome some of the major global problems since several decades ago including the food crisis due to the sharply increase in human population, health and disease and conservation on some endanger species.
Cloning is the biotechnology used to produce genetically identical copies of a biological entity. The copied material, which has the exactly same genetic makeup as the original, called a clone. The animals can be cloned by embryo splitting or nuclear transfer. For example, Dolly was the female domestic sheep, cloned through nuclear transfer.
