Currently, they are not. A transgenic animal is one that has been genetically modified to carry a gene that is not normally found in that species. There are a few livestock animals that are transgenic, but they are carefully monitored in research facilities because they are quite expensive to create and to maintain.

Is livestock a noun?
Yes, the word 'livestock' is a noun, a word for farm animals bought or sold, or used for food; a word for a thing.
What medical products may result from research into transgenic plants and animals?
Medical products that may result from research into transgenic plants and animals include genetically modified organisms that can produce therapeutic proteins, such as insulin or vaccines, in large quantities. Transgenic animals can also be used to study human diseases and develop treatments. Additionally, there is potential for creating new drugs and therapies by identifying and manipulating specific genes related to disease.
What are four ways in which transgenic animals have been used?
1. Transgenic E. coli is used to mass produce amino acids, vitamins and organics used as supplements for animals. 2. Plants such as corn and soy have the bt gene, which gives them pest resistance, lowering the need of pesticide use. 3. GFP (green fluorescent protein) is mass produced using various microbes after the gene coding for it is transcribed into them. 4. Transgenic turf-grass can synthesize protein which can help resist drought.
Why were there animals on the First Fleet?
On the First Fleet that arrived in Australia in 1788, some animals such as dogs were brought from Britain, but livestock was purchased from ports along the way. Some of the livestock was purchased for food to be used on the voyage (e.g. chickens), and other livestock was purchased to help build up herds of animals in the new colony which could then be used for food.
How are livestock a resourcs for us?
yes animals are a natural resource. Their meat can be used for food, their skin or fur can be used for clothing, and if its some type of livestock they can be used to produce milk and dairy products.
What Transgenic bacteria can be used to produce?
Genetically modified bacteria can be used to produce. This is a transgenic bacteria.
Are transgenic animals dangerous?
The animals themselves are not likely dangerous. However, the science of creating them is debatable. Some feel that these animals will help us find treatments or cures for cancers. Some feel that we should not genetically alter animals at all for any reason. Some feel very strongly that no animal, transgenic or otherwise, should be tested on, that it is cruel, and some fear the possibility of this science being unethically used on humans.
What is one practical application for each of the following transgenic bacteria transgenic animal transgenic plants QUICK?
Practical applications are: bacteria: they are easy to grow animal: study genes and improve the food supply plant: They are an important part of our food supply because they produce a natural insecticide so they don't have to be sprayed.
