Scientists are developing a breed of genetically-modified 'cows of the future' that will be more heat resistant and have superior ability to adapt to hot living conditions. More than half the cattle in the world lives in hot and humid environments, including about 40 per cent of beef cows in the US, researchers said.

By using genomic tools, researchers aim to produce an animal that can adapt to hot living conditions and produce top-quality beef. Scientists from University of Florida (UF) in the US are studying a more heat-tolerant Brangus cow - a cross between an Angus and a Brahman...................Read more
