Avian transgenesis has been considered as a useful tool for many purposes including improvement of the poultry industry, production of recombinant proteins and developmental biology. Due to the importance of the poultry industry in human nutrition, many efforts have been made for the improvement of the poultry industry in the aspect of egg and meat production for higher quantity or quality. After the development of transgenic technology the idea of transgenic poultry was raised for the application of this technology in the poultry industry. Due to the important role of recombinant proteins and humanized antibodies for medical and diagnostic purposes, mass production of these biological macromolecules is very important in human health. Development of transgenic technology in poultry science possibly helps to improve the efficiency of poultry industry productions and it may cause the development of different branches of avian industry with novel productions.
