Recently the F.D.A., Food & Drug Administration, has approved the distribution of a milk from gene-altered goats. It started when one goat was given a DNA strand that had both goat and human traits in the strand. The goats produced from this transformation made a drug called ATryn. this drug is known to help thin the blood and reduce blood clots. In one year, one goat produces as much antithrombin that can be derived from 90,000 blood donations.
