Fonterra has built a new dairy protein processing plant in New Zealand in 
order to handle the demand for the product, lactoferrin.  Lactoferrin is used in 
infant formulas, yogurts, and nutritional supplements.  And it can also be 
used as an additive in fresh milk to prolong its shelf life.  I believe that this 
lactoferrin is not bovine lactoferrin (cow's milk has very little or no 
lactoferrin) and is a gmo product based on research of the human milk component, 
lactoferrin.  The dairy industry has alot of products to market based on that 
research.   Here is an interesting quote from the article in regard to the 
announcement of this new dairy protein processing plant. (anyone needing the URL to 
the article, let me know)

“Lactoferrin will be to the dairy industry what aspirin has been to the 
pharmaceutical industry,” said Fonterra’s head of health & nutrition Patrick 
Geals. 
“Research shows that it is the body’s first line of defence against 
infections, it boosts the immune system and may have useful properties in the 
treatment of some tumours.
