**Argentina Produces First Genetically Engineered Polo Horses**
⏺ Scientists in Argentina have announced the birth of five genetically modified polo horses, created using CRISPR gene-editing technology. The foals are enhanced versions of a champion mare, designed for superior speed and performance.
⏺ The company behind this innovation, Kheiron Biotech, says it altered genes related to sprinting ability while maintaining other traits. The embryos were implanted into surrogate mares, resulting in five successful births.
⏺ While cloned horses are already used in polo, critics warn that extensive gene editing could reduce genetic diversity and raise ethical concerns. The FEI, the global equestrian governing body, still prohibits gene-edited horses from competitions.
⏺ Kheiron plans to expand this technique to other equestrian disciplines, including show jumping and horse racing. The future value of these genetically modified foals remains uncertain.
