Date issued/created: Subject and Keywords: Abstract:There are two principal applications oftransgenic animals. Best known andmost advanced application is to use transgenic animals (called bioreactors ormolecular farms) for the production of various proteins or biopolymers of medical significance. The second application concerns efforts to improve the productivity traits of breeding animals. We have worked out methods which allow somatic cloning of mammals and gene knockout methods. These methods havebeen developing very rapidly in recent years and their efficiency will soon beimproved to the extent that they will become profitable. For the time being,DNA microinjection with all its disadvantages, remains the principal method ofproducing transgenic bioreactors. In this paper, the effectiveness of productionoftransgenic rabbits, goats and pigs with the use of WAP-Fuc gene construct ispresented.
