PAUVRES CHEVRES
UNE RAISON SUPPLEMENTAIRE DE LES EXPLOITER!!!!

MANIPULATION GENETIQUE SUR DES CHEVRES POUR ENSUITE UTILISER LEUR LAIT QUI A UNE CAPACITE A TRAITER CERTAINES MALADIES DONT LE E-COLI ET A TRAITER AUSSI LES DIARRHEES INTENSES DES NOURISSONS ET LA DIARRHEE PORCINE
For their adorable antics and the milk they provide for delicious cheese, goats have long been among the most beloved farm residents, as well as the most common livestock on the planet. Now, thanks to genetic engineering, some goats’ milk is being used to make more than just chèvre.
When most people think of agricultural GMOs, long rows of monocropped soy liberally doused with the herbicide Roundup come to mind. Transgenic goats are bred using the same technology, but scientists believe their udders may fulfill the promise of genetic engineering by directly improving and saving lives, making everything from cancer drugs to materials for joint replacements.
The animals look and act just like regular goats: Workers milk them like they would at any dairy, and the goats raid their handlers’ pockets for stuff to chew on—a risk you face around any kid, doe, or billy goat. But scientists have added an extra protein or two to their already nutrient-rich milk.
One of those proteins is from the golden orb-weaver spider. Its silk, tougher than Kevlar, is a hundred times stronger than human ligaments. The potential for a light, incredibly resilient fiber is immense: The future might hold anything from spider knee replacements to spider parachutes.
But aside from being viscerally disgusting, a spider farm just won’t work. Golden orb weavers are cannibalistic.
In 2000, Nexia Biotechnology figured out a solution to that problem that reads like science fiction—it bred goats that can produce the silk instead......
AUTRE EXTRAIT:
.....Not all of these scientifically souped-up milks need to be processed to be useful. University of California, Davis, biologist James Murray says he has developed goats whose milk, by itself, could help protect some of the 2 million children who die each year of diarrheal diseases. The UC Davis goats have extra lysozyme in their milk, an enzyme found at high levels in human breast milk, as well as in saliva (and egg whites). Lysozyme protects against a number of bacteria, including E. coli, that cause diarrhea and other diseases.
When fed the upgraded milk, baby pigs with diarrhea caused by E. coli recovered more quickly than those that got regular milk. Unlike broad-spectrum antibiotics, the lysozyme milk is a gentle treatment.
