Genetic engineering can be used to create more productive strains of farm animals. By adding genes to an animal's DNA, the animal can be made to produce milk or meat containing vital nutrients that would not be found naturally in those products. This provides a greater amount of nutrients per serving of milk or meat. What are some possible impacts (positive and negative) of this type of genetic engineering on individuals, society, and the environment?

The process of adding genes to an animals DNA to improve its capacity, physical health and vitality and many aspects that could improve its natural being is called Hybridization. The positive effect to this kind of technology is that animal nature of an ordinary animal would be increased specially their performance and physical appearance. The negative effect might be the process is too risky and could lead to mutation
