This is the result of selective breeding, for cows which naturally have a gene mutation for unregulated muscle growth. Pure lean meat = high protein productivity = better profits!
As there is no manipulation of genetic materials, the technique cannot be described as genetic engineering, but as a form of selective breeding.
The mating between the cows have to be regulated and done artificially (artificial insemination), in order to maintain the trait within the line of cows.
