Biotechnology and genetic engineering are defined and their applications in the dairy industry described for pasture and animal improvement, and for dairy product processing in the factory. Problems in establishing new biotechnologies in the dairy industry and the regulatory hurdles that have to be overcome are discussed. Gene probes and monoclonal antibodies as diagnostics, bovine somatotropin to increase milk production, recombinant DNA-rennin in cheesemaking, recombinant-DNA starter cultures, and enzymes to convert lactose to oligosaccharides are used as examples relevant to the dairy industry. It is advocated that the dairy industry develop a biotechnology policy and an education programme, and actively consider joint ventures with dedicated biotechnology companies.
对生物技术和基因工程进行了定义,并描述了它们在乳制品行业中用于牧场和动物改良以及工厂乳制品加工的应用。讨论了在乳制品行业建立新生物技术时存在的问题以及必须克服的监管障碍。以基因探针和单克隆抗体用于诊断、牛生长激素用于提高牛奶产量、重组DNA凝乳酶用于奶酪制作、重组DNA发酵剂培养物以及将乳糖转化为低聚糖的酶为例,这些都是与乳制品行业相关的例子。主张乳制品行业制定一项生物技术政策和一项教育计划,并积极考虑与专业生物技术公司建立合资企业。
