Human Breast Milk to be Produced by Cows

CowsAccording to a recent research, there has been the development of genetically modified cows that would be able to produce ‘Human breast milk’. This new development has been recorded by the researchers from China. They revealed that once human genes were introduced in dairy cows, they produced milk similar to human milk.

The researchers are of the view that these herds of 300 cows shall prove as a viable substitute for human milk. They were of the view that this shall be able to help a lot of people around the world.

"The milk tastes stronger than normal milk. Within ten years, people will be able to pick up these products at the supermarket”, the Daily Mail quoted Li as saying. It was revealed that cloning techniques were used for this purpose. The human genes were injected into these cows, and the genetically modified embryos were injected into the surrogate cows.

It shall be a great first step in the development of the surrogate system of existence. The milk so produced would be richer and stronger than normal breast feed and shall supply the infants with enough nutrition and shall help to boost the immune cells in the children.
