Both. Big Corporations like Tyson are getting scientists to genetically create chickens with larger breasts (for more versatile use in fast food).

Selective breeding is still the preferred way to increase quality and productivity.

What happens when a genetically modified animal reproduces?

When a genetically modified animal reproduces, its offspring may inherit the modified genes from the parent. The genetic modification can then be passed on to subsequent generations, potentially altering the traits and characteristics of the offspring. Regulatory bodies often have guidelines in place to monitor and assess the impact of genetically modified animals on both the environment and other organisms.


Which genetically modified animals are approved for human consumption?

There are currently no genetically modified animals that are approved for consumption in the UK or USA. Genetically modified salmon, with growth hormones inserted, look to be winning the race to be the first GM animal to be approved for human consumption. However there is plenty of opposition against GM animals as food by many campaigners


What are transegenic animals?

How different between normal chicken and Gm chicken?

By GM, you probably mean genetically modified. That means the chicken's DNA has been modified to make it "better". A typical improvement is faster than average growth rate. The normal chicken has not been genetically modified. Organic chickens are not only not genetically modified themselves, but are fed food that has not been genetically modified either. These are considered the healthiest, but are also the most expensive. The GM has nothing to do with General Motors.
