Abstract: Genetic material is derived from animals post-mortem, and used in nuclear transfer processes to produce cloned embryos and live cloned animals having genetic make-ups identical to the post mortem animals. The method has particular applicability to the management and breeding of livestock, to the production of animals having desired genetic traits, and to the integration of those genetic traits into selective breeding operations.

Abstract: Methods for the efficient production of cloned porcine fetuses/piglets following the production of cloned embryos, including culture of the embryos for extended periods prior to transfer of the embryos into the uterus of the recipient. Transfer can be accomplished surgically or through less-invasive laparoscopic or non-surgical transfer.
