Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

The use of biotechnology has proved to be a key factor in handling different livestock problems. Many issues have proved to be silent killers, and their appropriate diagnosis and treatment are the need of the hour. Advancement in biotechnology and genomics is being used in preventive and clinical medicine, production of recombinant biotechnology-derived vaccines, molecular gene cloning, application of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), gene therapy and many more. This chapter will cover the use of genomics and biotechnology in veterinary medicine.
