Transgenesis in Animal Agriculture: Addressing Animal Health and Welfare Concerns
Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics 24 (5):451-472 (2011)
| Abstract | The US Food and Drug Administration’s final Guidance for Industry on the regulation of transgenesis in animal agriculture has paved the way for the commercialization of genetically engineered (GE) farm animals. The production-related diseases associated with extant breeding technologies are reviewed, as well as the predictable welfare consequences of continued emphasis on prolificacy at the potential expense of physical fitness. Areas in which biotechnology could be used to improve the welfare of animals while maintaining profitability are explored along with regulatory schema to improve agency integration in GE animal oversight | |||||||||
