Abstract

Stem cells technology has undergone remarkable transformation and offers ample opportunities in livestock production and studies of lineage commitment and molecular developmental dynamics. Innovations in cell culturing and preservation, genomics, cellular metabolomics, nanotechnology, and high throughput screening are expected to solve the major problems currently associated with stem cell technology. Also, reports are available on development of cell lines in some species of domestic animals.
