BEIJING:
China is planning to build the world's largest animal cloning centre
that will produce one million cattle embryos annually and rapidly
improve the quality of livestock, a report said.
The $31.3 million commercial cloning centre will be built in Tianjin's Tianjin Economic Technological Development Area (TEDA), a government-sponsored business development park. Among the animals to be cloned in the centre include sniffer and pet dogs, high-grade beef cattle, racehorses and "non-human primates". These animals will be used for commercial services and improving breeds. The project could rapidly improve the quality of livestock and bring the controversial science one step closer to mainstream acceptance.
Sinica, a subsidiary of Wuxi-based Boyalife Group which focuses on stem cell and regenerative medicine research, signed the agreement with TEDA on Friday. Boyalife chairman Xu Xiaochun said the factory also plans to set up acloning lab, a gene bank and a science education centre.
