Abstract
The increase in population has prompted the continuous increase in the demand for food. For this reason, production of cheap but nutritive foods and also the need to increase sustainability of farm animals might motivate food from genetically modified animals in the coming future. Transgenic animals have numerous applications in agriculture, medicine, and industry. Rationales for the transgenic arm animals include improving the nutritional value of meat, milk, and eggs; making animals resistant to veterinary diseases such as mastitis, to make vaccines, to lay eggs with anti-cancer drugs, to act as potential boost to human immune system, birds For improved egg and meat production, among others.
