ANIMAL SCIENCES SCIENCE DEVELOPMENTS IN TRANSGENIC ANIMAL ENGINEERING AND ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGIES ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON BIOTECHNOLGY AND 21ST CENTURY AGRICULTURE
Biotechnologies, Animal Production, and Animal Health1945 to 1995 • Milk Production Up 3-Fold • Eggs/Year Up 134 to 254 • Broilers Days to 1.8 kg: Reduced from 84 to 43 Days and one-half the feed • Leaner and Faster Growing Pigs • Leaner and More Efficient Beef Cattle • Overall Improvement in Animal Health
Research Driven Biotechnologies in Animal Agriculture and Biomedical Research IMPROVED UNDERSTANDING OF: Reproductive Biology Endocrinology Embryology Genetics/Genomics Nutrition Animal Health/Disease Resistance
BIOTECHNOLOGIES ESTABLISHED: BREEDING AND GENETICS • Statistical Models Predict Breeding Values • Sire Testing and Selection • Crossbreeding EMERGING • Marker Assisted Selection • Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL)/Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) • Direct Gene Transfer • Homologous Recombination • Genetic Engineering Through Sperm
BIOTECHNOLOGIES REPRODUCTIVE MANAGEMENT ESTABLISHED Artificial Insemination Synchronization of Estrus and Ovulation Sex Reversal (Fish) Artificial Incubation of Eggs Nutrition Disease Control EMERGING SEX CONTROL PREIMPLANTATION GENETIC DIAGNOSIS TRAIT SELECTION
BIOTECHNOLOGIES GAMETE AND EMBRYO MANIPULATIONS ESTABLISHED Superovulation, Embryo Collection and Transfer, IVM and IVF, Embryo Splitting and Cloning from Blastomeres EMERGING Cloning Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT) SCNT for Genetic Engineering Epigenetics
IMPACT OF BIOTECHNOLOGIES Assisted Reproductive Technologies/Cloning Embryo Transfer: 40,000-50,000 Calves/Year IVM/IVF: 4,000 Calves in 1996 Blastomere Nuclear Transfer Cloning (61 males and 126 females) Embryo Splitting (754 males and 1,472 females) Reference: NAAB 1996 and Holstein Associate 2001
BIOTECHNOLOGIES IMPACTING LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY Steroid Growth Stimulants Bovine Somatotropin - Increase Milk Yield EMERGING SPERM-MEDIATED GENE TRANSFER ECTOPIC DNA CONSTRUCTS MARKER ASSISTED SELECTION GENOME SIGNAL PROCESSING –Systems Biology
EMERGING BIOTECHNOLOGIES SPERM MEDIATED GENE TRANSFER VIRAL EXPRESSION VECTORS – SPERM UPTAKE DNA POSITIVE PIGS – 0 TO 88% DNA POSITIVE – mRNA POSITIVE – 41-100% EFFICIENT AND INEXPENSIVE STABLE INTEGRATION OF TRANSGENE RANDOM INSERTION OF TRANSGENE ADVERSE POSITION EFFECTS ON GENE EXPRESSION LETHAL EFFECTS OF EXPRESSION VECTOR VL30 (50 ng) vs PCMVhGH (1000 ng)/1 million sperm LAVITRANO ET AL. MOL REPROD DEV 64:284
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES EXPRESSION OF ECTOPIC DNA IN RATS GHRH cDNA DRIVEN BY SYNTHETIC MUSCLE-SPECIFIC PROMOTER: INCREASE GROWTH HORMONE INCREASE IGF-I INCREASE FETAL-PLACENTAL DEVELOPMENT INCREASE BIRTHWEIGHTS ALTERED PITUITARY SOMATOTROPHS AND LACTOTROPHS IN PUPS KHAN ET AL. 2002; DRAGHIA-AKLI 2002
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES EXPRESSION OF ECTOPIC DNA IN PIGS GHRH cDNA DRIVEN BY SYNTHETIC MUSCLE-SPECIFIC PROMOTER: HEAVIER BIRTH WEIGHTS HEAVIER WEANING WEIGHTS INCREASE SERUM IGF-I INCREASE IN PITUITARY SOMATOTROPHS AND LACTOTROPHS (BIRTH AND 100 KG) KHAN et al. 2003, Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 285:E224-E231.
