NZ scientists breed a cow with milk that's nonallergenic | Pacific Beat

Milk allergy is often blamed on a protein in cows milk which ISN'T found in human breastmilk.

The researchers at the AgResearch Institute in Wellington have developed a calf called Daisy, using the same technique used to produce Dolly - the famous cloned sheep - back in the mid-1990s.

Daisy - who's now an 11-month-old-calf - was recently given hormones to induce milk production - and HER milk is free from the allergy-causing protein.
