Chinese scientists say they have successfully cloned three cows that can produce an unusually high amount of milk.
Researchers claim that the cloned cows are capable of producing 50% more milk than the average American cow, according to state media reports
Technocracy News reports: Scientists sampled tissues from cows across China and used what’s called the somatic cell nuclear transfer method, which involves taking the nucleus from a body cell of the animal to be cloned and transferring it into a donated egg cell. Then embryos were placed inside surrogate cows.
The cloning experiment began last year at the Northwest University of Agricultural and Forestry Science and Technology in Shaanxi, China. The three calves, bred by scientists, were born in the Ningxia region in the weeks leading up to the Lunar New Year on January 23. These calves were cloned from highly productive cows from the Holstein Friesian breed, which originated in the Netherlands. According to Chinese state media, the chosen animals are capable of producing 18 tons of milk per year, which is nearly 1.7 times the amount of milk an average cow in the United States produces.

Jin Yaping, the lead scientist called this a birth of ‘super cows.’ Furthermore, he said, this breakthrough has great significance for China to concentrate and preserve in an economically feasible way the very best cows in the country, and ‘super cows’ are efforts to revitalize its agricultural sector with breeder animals.
For dairy cows, China is 70% reliant on overseas purchases. According to Global Times, China has roughly 6.6 million cows, however, only about 5 in 10,000 such cattle in China are highly productive.
According to Jin Yaping, this new cloning method means, that people can preserve the genes of these super cows in a timely manner and these cows can provide an excellent resource for future breeding.
Further, he said, “Using cloning technology alone won’t have any economic meaning, and the combination of tapping reproductive technology and using low-productive cows as surrogates allowed us to reproduce 20 more offspring compared with just using cloning for a given time period.”
Milk is for calves not people. .
The grenada corp in College station TX in 1990s was cloning cows. They went bankrupt. I used to fly cow ovaries from commerce TX down to College station in a small plane.
Very small
Yes it was actually, a Cessna 172. it was a dirt strip on the ranch. (???????)
I guess the cloning of chinese “super soldiers” was too easy…
Another Chinese lie. They’re like blacks when it comes to blowing their own broken horn, and nothing but bullsh-t comes out. Until the treasonous Clintons started gifting them our tech, industries and military secrets – they were another failed communist nation.
Dumb as . uneducated clueless
What would worry me much more is cloned super soldiers.
Dont worry You can open wide and swallow them inside mr geriatric .
That cloning is over rated about the success. The success stories were probably faked in IMO.
