unfortunately it won't make any difference.

has artificial ivory made any impact on the elephant poaching ? Nope.
because people know it's artificial and the kinds of deluded idiots who buy this kind of thing want real horns.

Now if you could genetically engineer a rhino with horns growing all over it's body. That might help.
