Transgenic animal technology.
There are numerous tools available to modify the genetic makeup of animals. They are being used to good advantage for studying basic biological phenomena. Within the decade, biomedical products derived from transgenic animals will be available, but the use of this technology for enhancing the quality and efficiency of livestock production will await further refinements in the technology.
