Future challenges related to animal biotechnology

Abstract

Consumers and society may be least willing to accept the modern practices for genetic modification of animals. Public and animal welfare organizations criticism on animal cloning and transgenic modification is a hurdle in production of modified animal food. Ethical and moral concerns are also reduced the acceptability of such technology for the production of cheap and better animal food. Moreover, food industries are also very sensitive about the acceptance of consumer’s towards the products from genetically modified animals. Consumer is concern about the safety of such a food as compare to naturally produce animal food. Segregation and compulsory labeling about GMO’s food products by regulatory authorities also produce assumption of less safe and inferior food as compare to convention animal food products.
