[Title] => Supercow production now possible year-round
[Summary] => Soon, "supercows" will be a common site in the countrys cattle landscape.
It is now possible to breed this superior animal, which can produce more than 18,000 liters of milk per lactation, thanks to the biotechnology techniques such as embryo transfer (ET) and vitrification.
Embryo is a fertilized egg while vitrification is a quick, deep-freezing of embryo cryopreservation, which allows long-term embryo storage and transport.
