👉 Lamb engineering refers to the innovative application of genetic engineering techniques to enhance desirable traits in sheep, primarily focusing on improving their wool quality and quantity. This process involves the precise modification of the sheep's DNA to increase fiber diameter, enhance fiber elasticity, and boost overall wool production. By utilizing advanced tools such as CRISPR-Cas9, scientists can target specific genes responsible for wool characteristics, leading to genetically superior lambs with superior wool properties. This approach not only aims to meet the growing demand for high-quality wool but also seeks to improve the economic viability and sustainability of sheep farming.
