Abstract

People the world over are becoming increasingly discerning about the quality of the animal products they consume. However, with the rapidly increasing global human population and the impact of farming on the environment, it is becoming difficult to maintain a balance between supply and demand. In any form of mass production involving animals, ethics will inevitably come into play. The question thus arises: How can we deliver more animal produce while complying with the demand for good quality, wholesome food? Another consideration is the massive impact that farming has on the environment. It is claimed that livestock production is one of the major contributors to global environmental problems.
