It is now possible to generate animals with useful novel properties for dairy meat or fibre production for environmental control of waste production that produce useful products for biomedical purposes or other human consumption or that are nearly identical copies of animals chosen for useful traits such as milk or meat production pie fertility and the like. Genetically engineered poultry swine goats, cattle and other livestock are also beginning to be used as generators of pharmaceutical and other products potential sources for replacement organs for humans and models for human disease. In particular there will probably always be concerns regarding the use of unnecessary genes and constructs used for generation of engineered animals the use of factors with the potential to be mobilised or otherwise contribute sequences to related environmental organisms and the effects of the technology on the welfare of the engineered animals themselves.
