The cloned check born at the Faculty of Agriculture of Laiyang University of China is called Kangkang. They have done so from a cell extracted from the epidermis of a fetal clone. Delivery was very simple and fast, about 15 minutes. Once the scientists were born, they started feeding the veal with a bottle.

Another cow, born in October, was also cloned in that country, but only survived 80 minutes due to feeding problems. In the United States, some California biologists cloned the cow that survived a short time. He died three days after the birth of the calf. These tests have shown that the cloning of mammals is a very complicated experiment and that at the moment there is no methodology that guarantees success.
