In 2001, BARC researchers develop the first transgenic cow, named “Annie,” with resistance to mastitis. The disease is caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria that destroy milk-secreting cells in the animal’s mammary gland. Mastitis costs U.S. dairy farmers about $1.7 billion annually, including lost milk revenues.
