Web-Spinning Goats
When it comes to natural goods, flexible and strong spider silk is incredibly valuable. If we were able to make it on a larger scale, it would be useful for parachute cords, artificial ligaments, and everything in between. Nexia Biotechnologies announced in 2000 the creation of one of the genetically engineered animals to fix this problem. They engineered a goat which produces the protein found in spiders' webs in its milk. To do this, they inserted a dragline silk gene from spiders into goats. You can use the silk milk produced by the goats to create Biosteel, a web-like material.
