The world’s first cows genetically engineered to make a pharmaceutical
product in their milk were born over Christmas, the Dutch company Pharming has

will find out within six months whether the cows express the gene in their milk.
“If they do, we can clone them and make more females,” says a company spokesman.
“We can now miss out the bull.”
