World's First Adult Somatic Cell Cloning Buffalo Birth

Chinese researchers said that the world’s first adult somatic cell clone Buffalo was born at 4:15 am on the 17th at the Guangxi University’s “863 Program,” the Good Breeding Cervical South Breeding Center. The buffalo weighed 23 kilograms, the body slanted 86 centimeters, and the body height 62.5 centimeters. The researchers said that the buffalo and its 12-year-old mother are in good condition. The researchers said that at 3 a.m. on the 17th, a cow began to show symptoms of childbirth, 4 o'clock, the cow began to break the water. After artificial assistance, 15 minutes later, the cloned calf was born. The cloned buffalo that was born this time is the world’s first living somatic cell clone buffalo, and it is also the world’s first adult somatic cell clone buffalo. The subject of cloned buffalo was chaired by Dr. Shi Deshun, a researcher at the Institute of Reproduction of Animal Science and Technology College of Guangxi University. This topic has been supported by the national "863 Plan" and the total funding is 2.4 million yuan. Lu Fenghua, a member of the research team, said that the researchers cloned an ovarian granulosa cell of a local cow from Guangxi and cloned the blastocyst and a frozen bull on the blastocyst on April 10, 2004. After transplanting into a 12-year-old cow, after 348 days of pregnancy, the cow successfully delivered a local Guangxi cow. Pan Bin, a professional breeder at the breeding center, said that the buffalo had stood up after half an hour of birth and was able to feed on its own. Wei Yingming, senior animal husbandry division member of the research group, said that according to experience and scientific projections, the cloned cows have a pregnancy period of approximately one month longer than normal cows, and it takes about 340 days. Shi Deshun said that the successful birth of the cloned buffalo was a landmark achievement of the national "863 Project" "bioreactor" major research project. China's buffalo somatic cell cloning technology has matured. The researchers said that the success of somatic cell cloning of buffalo has contributed to the future improvement of cattle breeding programs. It is said that the breeding center has two somatic cell clones of buffalo that have been pregnant for four months.
