Abstract
The potential of biotechnology to benefit production agriculture has long been speculated. Whereas many transgenic crops have been produced and commercialized, there has yet to be any implementation of genetically engineered livestock. A recent publication by Wall et al. represents one of the first reports to bring the potential of genetic engineering closer to realization by improving disease resistance in dairy cattle: a practical advantage to both the producer and animal.
