The rapid development of modern biotechnology has introduced a new dimension to veterinary medicine and animal breeding. Genome analysis of important breeding species will ultimately allow to detect and consequently to eliminate any possible genetic disorder. Moreover, infectious diseases may also be detected easier and more reliable. The production of transgenic livestock opens the possibility to generate animals with improved health and productivity without time consuming breeding programmes. In the following review I will focus on the description of recent developments in the application of molecular biological techniques in veterinary medicine and animal production. Special emphasis will be given to the physiological consequences of transgene expression rather than the techniques for the production of transgenic animals.
现代生物技术的迅速发展为兽医学和动物育种带来了新的层面。对重要育种物种的基因组分析最终将能够检测并进而消除任何可能的遗传疾病。此外，传染病也可能更容易、更可靠地被检测出来。转基因家畜的生产开启了在无需耗时的育种计划的情况下培育出健康状况和生产力得到改善的动物的可能性。在接下来的综述中，我将重点描述分子生物学技术在兽医学和动物生产中的应用的最新进展。将特别强调转基因表达的生理后果，而非转基因动物的生产技术。
