Health example: Transgenic cattle were created to produce milk containing particular human proteins, which may help in the treatment of human emphysema.

Agricultural example: The production of transgenic livestock has the opportunity to significantly improve human health, enhance nutrition, protect the environment, increase in animal welfare, and decrease livestock disease.
