Scientists recently cloned three “super cows” to produce more milk, but the “innovation” also comes with a slew of problems.

Chinese scientists have cloned three "super cows" able to produce 18 metric tons of milk per year and more than 100 tons of milk over the course of their lifetimes, which may help reduce China's dependency on imported dairy cows.

The new animals are expected to reduce the nations dependency on imported cows when the country currently imports 70% of its dairy cows.

In 2008, the Food and Drug Administration in the US concluded that meat and milk from clones are as safe as equivalents from conventionally bred animals.Wang Bingke, one of the scientists involved in cloning the cattle, said that the milk was the same as that produced by the original cows.

Cloning is now a thing in China, and it started with cows to get more milk. Cloning is still a taboo in the world, but China is now resorting to this to answer for the lack of cattle that produces milk, with a region in the country already seeing calves born from the research.

Chinese scientists have boosted Chinas dairy industry by successfully cloning three super cows from the most sought after Holstein Friesian breed.

Chinese scientists have successfully cloned three “super cows” that can produce an unusually high amount of milk, state media reported, hailing it as a breakthrough for China’s dairy industry to reduce its dependence on imported breeds.

The country has revealed that over the next few years it will build a herd with more than 1000 "super" bovi...
