Cloned cat "garlic" was born

pictured is the clone cat "garlic"Have you ever seen a cloned cat? China's first self-bred cloned cat - "garlic" is still two days away from the full moon.
'garlic' has been with me for 3 years and he died of illness. Now with cloning, 'garlic' is coming to me again, and we're going to start a new life. "Clone cat" garlic" owner Huang Yu excitedly said.
'garlic' was born on July 21, 2019 by a surrogate cat, which was identified by a third party as a cloned cat and is now in good health. Mi Jidong, general manager of Hino Valley Biotech Co., Ltd., announced on August 19th that China's first fully self-bred cloned cat was born.
scientific and technical team explored the in-body mature culture conditions of ovarian cells, isolated female activation conditions and other pre-experiments, from August 2018 officially began the research and development experiments of cloned cats, this surrogate cat after 66 days of embryo transfer successfully delivered. Garlic is a very cute British short-haired cat.
" to the current level of cloning technology, from 4 surrogate cats pregnant, successfully produced a cloned cat, the success rate is high. Chen
, a researcher at the Institute of Zoology, said.
Shi Zhensheng, professor of animal medicine at China Agricultural University, said: "Cats have different reproductive physiological characteristics than most animals, because cats are not spontaneous ovulation animals, is one of the few induced ovulation animals, its reproductive cycle is special, cloning technology is more difficult, cumbersome operation." This successful breeding of cloned cats is one of the few successful cases in the world, marking a major step forward in the field of cloning in China. Xia Xianzhu
of the Chinese Academy
, said that species resources are becoming more and more of a focus of attention around the world. China's biological species are rich in resources, but due to various reasons, many species are in an endangered state, through somatic cell preservation, the establishment of animal species library, the use of cloning technology can increase the population of endangered animal species, and through genetic testing, to achieve individual animal population management and disease control, these are the application direction of biotechnology.
