Genetic modification in livestock

Genetic modification in livestock involves scientifically altering an animal’s DNA to improve traits like disease resistance, growth rate, or nutrition. This process uses techniques similar to those in molecular biology to insert, delete, or modify specific genes. The goal is to enhance productivity, health, and sustainability while maintaining animal welfare. It is carefully tested and regulated to ensure safety for animals, humans, and the environment. This advanced technology offers potential benefits such as more efficient food production and better resilience to environmental challenges.
