China clones 3 “super cows” that can produce 54 tons of milk a year; plans herd of 1,000
(Worthy News) – China has claimed to have successfully cloned three “super cows” that are larger and produce more milk than common cows.
Lead scientist Jin Yaping told Chinese outlet Global Times that the plan now is to concentrate cloned super cows into a herd that can help break China’s reliance on cattle imported from other countries.
The cows were clones of existing “super cows” from farms across China, which are capable of producing 18 tons of milk a year and more than 100 tons of milk in a lifetime, Global Times reported. Three of the cows would produce more than 300 tons of milk over their lifetimes. [ Source: American Military News (Read More…) ]
