Bangladesh Needs Productive Beef Breed Cattle
The price for beef in Bangladesh is one of the highest in South Asia. Compared to many countries, the price of beef is significantly high. The restriction of illegal trade of cattle from nearby countries enabled our farmers to achieve self-sufficiency in beef production. However, price of beef seems ever-increasing in the country.
Prospects of edible vaccines from potato
Edible vaccines are less expensive, easily administrable, storable, and are widely accepted as bio-friendly, particularly in developing countries. Oral administration of edible vaccines appears to be a promising agent for reducing the incidence of various diseases such as hepatitis and diarrhea, where vaccine preservation and management problem.
Base editing applications in plants and animals
Base editing is a CRISPR-Cas9-based genome editing technique that allows point mutations in DNA to be introduced without causing double-strand breaks (DSBs).
Application and challenges of Molecular Farming
Advances in plant synthetic biology promise to introduce novel agricultural products in the near future. Molecular Farming is one of them and which includes engineered crops to produce medications, vaccines, biofuels, industrial enzymes, and other high-value compounds.
Assessment of Respiratory Co-Infections in Poultry A Collaborative Research Initiative between ACI, CEVA, and BAU
ACI is holding the first position in poultry vaccine and its current market share is about 45%. The total commercial poultry population is about 10 billion in Bangladesh. Respiratory disease outbreaks with variable mortality rates and different clinical manifestations have been increasing in poultry in this country.
Role of Genetic Engineering (GE) in Sustainable Agriculture
Sustainable agriculture is a type of agriculture in sustainable ways that focuses on the production of crops or livestock, which balance between the need for production of food and preservation of ecology without damaging the human or natural systems.
