AgResearch makes Application to Permit GM Animals
MEDIA RELEASE
6 November 2009
AgResearch has submitted a limited application to ERMA for specific research using genetically modified goats, sheep and cattle in containment. This is necessary so that AgResearch can meet contractual requirements.
In 2008 AgResearch
applied to ERMA for four new approvals to continue the
transgenic livestock programme for a number of species and a
range of activities, from pure scientific research, to
maintaining transgenic animals in containment for the
production of speciality milks or milk products (e.g.
lactoferrin), and the production of biopharmaceutical
proteins. These four applications are currently held up by
legal action.
This new application is restricted to
existing facilities at AgResearch Ltd’s Ruakura campus in
Hamilton and does not seek approval for commercial
production.
