The world's biggest cloning factory being built in Tianjin, China, will begin cloning cattle in seven months.

It will have technology sufficiently advanced to replicate humans, the head of the company, Xu Xiaochun, told AFP.

It aims to clone a million cows a year by 2020 to help meet the rising demand for beef in China, he says.

The scientist and entrepreneur says cattle are only the beginning: they plan to clone thoroughbred racehorses, pet dogs and police dogs for searching and sniffing.
