Scientists in China say they’ve cloned three cows that can produce as much as 18 tons of milk per year, a figure that’s just under twice the average amount of cows in the U.S, according to Chinese state media site Global Times.
Officials hope the new "super cows" will help the company’s dairy industry reduce its dependence on imported cattle. At present, some 70% of China’s dairy cows are brought in from overseas.
