Sorry, don't think that is used to my knowledge in the dairy industry.
That's where the "r" from rBST or rBGH comes from, from "r"ecombinant DNA technology. Even before the move to recombinant DNA, it was already produced by genetic engineering since the 1970s by Genentech.

There are more and more medicines that are produced by bioengineering E. coli or other organisms, these organisms are like the micro-factories of the future, programed to produce a specific protein artificially coded in their DNA. Even some yeasts for wine-making are produced this way, most cheese (80% worldwide) are made with rennet from GMOs, which produce a purer version of rennet than the one that comes from the stomach of veals: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rennet#Fermentation-produced_chymosin_... |
GMOs: Séralini 2-year study retracted, and gluten allergy
