Transgenic Animal Production - The ease with which transgenic animals can be produced and the transfection techniques to be employed depend chiefly on the reproductive biology, husbandry requirements and responses to various experimental procedures of the concerned animal. The following features greatly facilitate gene transfer.

1. Production of larger number of eggs either naturally or in response to hormone regimens used for superovulation.

2. Short breeding cycle, greatly facilitates analysis of the transgenic individuals produced.
