Clone InternationalClone International exists to bring its clients the latest in
modern cloning technologies to assist them in the breeding of elite
cattle, sheep and horses and to help them to preserve their elite animals
genetics by using the Genetic Protection Package. Clone
International’s exclusive
cloning program gives breeders of the most valuable, elite agricultural
animals a viable method of reproducing an exact replica of their valuable
animals, without risking the vagaries associated with other breeding
techniques. Clones are akin to identical twins, produced in
nature. Clone International has exclusive access to the best technology,
the best genetics and some of the best scientists working in this field to
ensure a very high success rate in animal cloning and the application of
other techniques to help preserve elite animal genetics. With the increasing incidence of devastating diseases such as BSE (Mad Cow Disease), Foot and Mouth disease and many others, preserving elite animal genetics is now more important than ever. Cloning and Cell Banking (Genetic Protection Package) offers long term protection. Genetic Protection Package offers breeders of elite animals the opportunity to preserve the genetics of their unique animals as ‘insurance’ against death, infertility or other event (including disease) that would normally mean the end of the animals breeding life. How it Works: Put simply, at Clone International we take a tissue sample from an elite animal say a piece of skin from a bull, then we place one of these skin cells containing all of the elite genetic material, into a ‘host’ cell which has had the nucleus (DNA) material removed. This then produces an embryo that is genetically identical to the original bull. (See diagram The Cloning Process) Clone International using Genetic Protection Package can now preserve the genetics of the most elite horses, sheep or cattle, so that the original animal may be cloned at a later date if that animal dies, becomes infertile or is affected by disease. |
