Cattle that need to consume a higher concentrate diet and produce more methane than other cows affect the environment. Cows that require a higher concentrate means that farmers are converting more land into crop land to meet those requirements. Dairy cows are a prime example of this. Those that produce more methane are those that are often harder keepers, or need more feed to keep their condition than other cows do.

Differences of cloning and selective breeding?

Cloning involves creating an exact genetic copy of an organism, while selective breeding involves choosing specific individuals with desired traits to breed together. Cloning results in a genetically identical organism, while selective breeding produces offspring with a mix of traits from the parents. Cloning is a more precise process with limited genetic variation, whereas selective breeding allows for more genetic diversity.


Examples of selective breeding?
