China: Cloning facility could produce 1m cows per year
25/11/2015
Boyalife Group and Yingke Boya Gene Technology are investing £20 million and plan to produce 100,000 cattle embryos per year, scaling up to 1 million, to service China’s growing demands for beef.
There is still controversy over cloned animals in a lot of countries. The US’s Food and Drug Administration has said clones are as safe to eat as any other animals but most cloned cattle in the US are used as breeding stock.
The facility, in Tianjin, will also clone sniffer dogs and race horses.
