“Most dairy breeding programs select for milk production but the results of this study indicate that the cow’s conformation, particularly in terms of hoof health, also should be considered,” said ...

Muscular "super cattle" have been produced through genetic mutation and decades of selective breeding. What's False Muscular "super cattle" are not technically the result of "genetic engineering" (i.e ...

BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - The beef many of us enjoy today is a result of years of selecting superior animals that deliver a more consistent product. Technology has helped accelerate that process.

In a remarkable stride toward environmental sustainability, farmers are actively engaged in the practice of selective cow breeding, aiming to reduce methane emissions and thereby reaffirming their ...

Cows that are genetically modified to produce less methane could have a major impact on climate change, a new study has found. Scientists discovered that methane-producing microbes in cow stomachs are ...

A British genetics firm plans to create less-gassy cows — meaning fewer climate-heating emissions. Genus Plc’s breeding program is intended to create “envirocows” with less-gaseous digestive systems, ...

Chinese scientists successfully used cloning technology to combat its dependence on imported dairy cows. The cows were cloned using tissue from a Holstein Friesian known as a super cow, a dairy cow ...
