Other projects, like the enviropig, never got close to market approval. The pig was modified to produce a bacterial enzyme allowing it to digest and absorb the phosphorus in grain, reducing the need to supplement the pig's feed and reducing the levels of the phosphorus in fecal waste. The idea was that this would reduce the water pollution caused by pig farms but the public was far too against it.

Maybe I should just make GE puppies. Everybody loves puppies.

Thank you for this. I, myself, would love nothing more than to create GE livestock to fix some of the environmental, disease, and feed efficiency issues surrounding meat and dairy production but so far all GE animals that I know of have been blocked from market by public rejection.
