After long-term accumulation of scientific research, the college has formed its own characteristics and advantages in the research fields of animal embryo engineering, animal cloning and stem cell engineering, biotoxins and poisoning diseases, livestock reproductive endocrinology, neurobiology, prevention and control of major livestock diseases, and some of its research is at the international advanced level or the domestic leading level. Professor Zhang Yong, an expert in animal embryo engineering in China, overcame the technical difficulties of goat somatic cell cloning and obtained the first cloned goat in the world. Using animal somatic cell cloning technology combined with gene editing technology, the world's first transgenic cow with human β defensin gene and transgenic cow with Ipr- 1 gene were created, and won the second prize of national scientific and technological invention in 20 16. Professor Dou Zhongying, a famous expert in animal embryo engineering, made a great breakthrough in stem cell research and successfully obtained a beating-like cell mass from human embryonic stem cells.
The college always aims at the frontier of high and new technology, adheres to the major strategic needs of the country and the region, and actively carries out applied basic and applied research oriented to the actual agricultural production. At present, the college undertakes 56 scientific research projects 1, including major transgenic project 1 and subproject1; There are 4 national R&D key projects and 2 subprojects/kloc-0; 2 key projects of the National Natural Fund and 59 other projects; The total contract fund is 1 17026600 yuan. It has successively won the second prize of national technological invention 1 item, two first prizes of scientific and technological progress in Shaanxi Province and three second prizes of scientific and technological progress in Shaanxi Province. In recent five years, he has obtained 65 national authorized invention patents and published 1 100 academic papers, among which 643 papers are included in SCI.
