The goats with spider genes and silk in their milk

Prof Randy Lewis shows Adam Rutherford genetically modified goats at a farm at Utah State University, US, which produce large quantities of a spider silk that is among the strongest substances known to man.

The transplanted gene means the goat produce milk containing an extra protein, which is extracted and spun into spider silk thread.

A
certain goat farm in Quebec requires visitors to shower and put on
white coveralls and booties before being allowed to look at the animals.
These special goats have been genetically engineered to produce spider
silk in their milk. This of course raises the question, why would anyone
want a goat to make spider silk?
