Review on GMOs in Animal Agriculture

Clara Nobis

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have become increasingly prevalent in animal agriculture, offering the potential for improved productivity, disease resistance, and environmental sustainability. This abstract provides an overview of the use of GMOs in animal agriculture, summarizing the benefits, concerns, and implications associated with their adoption. GMOs offer advantages such as enhanced feed efficiency, nutritional improvements in animal feed, and disease resistance, which can lead to increased productivity and improved animal health and welfare. However, concerns surrounding GMOs in animal agriculture include potential risks to human health and the environment, gene flow to non-GMO crops, ethical considerations, and consumer acceptance. Regulatory frameworks and scientific evaluations are in place to ensure the safety of GMOs and address these concerns. Public perception, economic considerations, environmental implications, and ethical and animal welfare considerations also play crucial roles in shaping the use and acceptance of GMOs in animal agriculture. Further research, transparent communication, and stakeholder engagement are necessary to address these factors and ensure responsible and sustainable practices in the integration of GMOs in animal agriculture.
