The reporter learned from the (Tianjin) Academy of Agricultural Sciences today (July 9th) that the city’s somatic cell cloning technology has entered a new phase. At present, the somatic cell clone goat “Tsing Ying” has “married” and if she can successfully become pregnant, she will be mother in early December. The somatic cow cloning project, which is more difficult than the somatic cell cloning of sheep, has also begun its operations.

The cloned sheep is expected to be a mother at the end of the year

This morning, the reporter saw the “Jin Ying” of “Newly Married Yan Er” at the Tianjin Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine. Its body is pure white, and the dark brown short hair of the head shines brightly, and the huge ears hang down to the mouth. It is eating the fodder in the United States and the United States.

The director of the institute, Dr. Ding Boliang, told reporters that the domestic first cell clone sheep “Jin Ying” has been 15 months old and had had fertility at 10 months, but in order to make “Jin Ying” more mature. , Robust, scientific researchers still pushed back for 5 months to find it "object." On June 26 of this year, "Jin Ying" finally found a "five husband" who chose one from the other, and successfully "married." Now, "Jin Ying" has grown to 77.5 kilograms, which is even more greedy than before. She eats nearly 3 pounds of hay every day. However, it is still not certain if you have been pregnant. One month later, researchers will perform B-examination for it. If pregnant, according to Boer goats during the 5 months of pregnancy, in early December, "Tianying" will be the mother.

The cloned cow is expected to be born at the end of next year

The reporter learned from the city's Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Research Institute in the morning that the city’s somatic cell clone cow project has now started. At present, scientists have collected five ear tissue samples of high-quality, high-yield Holstein cows that annually produce more than 10,000 kilograms of milk and began cloning. The city’s first somatic clone cow is expected to be born before the end of next year.

"The research on the Boer goat clone technique is to make the people in Tianjin eat delicious lamb. The cloning research on high-yielding dairy cows will enable the common people to drink high-quality milk," Dr. Ding Boliang, director of the Municipal Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Research Institute told the reporter.

According to reports, the principle of somatic cell cloned cattle is almost the same as that of previous cloned sheep. However, due to factors such as long gestation period and large body size of cattle, compared with cloned sheep, the risk of cloning cows will increase accordingly. A few days ago, the scientists had just collected samples of ear cell tissue from five donor cattle and established a Holstein gene bank. At present, the collected ear cells of dairy cows have been placed in liquid nitrogen at -196°C for cultivation. Next, the researchers will remove the nucleus from the cells of the cow's ear to construct a cloned embryo, which will then be transplanted into the body of the recipient's normal cow. After successful pregnancy, after 11 months of gestation, the somatic cells were cloned to produce cows. If all goes well, the city’s first somatic clone cow will be born at the end of next year.
