How is genetic engineering used in animals? Genetic engineering is used in animals‚ such as ones on farms‚ to increase the food quality. This means that the animals are being induced with either a chemical or a certain protein‚ in order for the food or milk they produce to contain more nutrients that have benefits for humans. Another way that farm animals are genetically engineered would be that that are made to create resistance to diseases. This is so the animals will not get sick‚ and will be
