Genetically Modified Future Farm Animals: The pig
In this future scenario, lab grown meat is never able to take off. After a few scandals involving meat containing human DNA from contaminations that may or may not have been accidental, and with an ever faster growing population, the meat industry turns to the next best thing: genetically modifying the animals themselves.
Lab grown meat always struggled with being able to grow complex parts, rather than just homogenous slabs of generic meats. But with the genetic "enhancement" of S.s. deomesticus, manufacturers can get more of what they want and less of what they don't need.
The enhanced pigs are split into two groups, the meat variety, who's soul purpose is to be eaten, and the breading variety, who's soul purpose is to produce more of the two. Both breeds are basically braindead and jawless and so must be force-fed through tubes connecting straight to the esophagus. They also lack all senesces, being blind, deaf, and cannot feel a thing. So even unconscious nociception is impossible, making slaughter as humane and easy as possible.
The breeding variety must be inseminated with artificial sperm, and weather that sperm leads to a meat or breeding variety is pre-determined by manufacturers. Breeding varieties are not needed as much since they can produce offspring for so long, so they usually are inseminated with meat variety DNA.
