· An egg is taken from the 1st cow
· The egg cell nucleus is removed
· A body cell is taken from a second cow
· The body cell's nucleus is put into the egg cell
· The egg cell divides
· The embryo is then put into a third cow (usually the mother who has been chosen to carry the child.)
What else can I help you with?
What happens to form the embryo when cows are bred naturally?
The embryo is formed when the sperm from a bull attaches itself to the egg or ovum of the cow. The embryo is formed not only from the cow being bred naturally, but also when she is artificially inseminated.

How many gallons of milk does a cloned cow produce?

How cloning is used in cattle breeding?
Cloning is used in cattle breeding by taking an embryo of a donor cow (being a female of top breeding quality) and making it into a copy of that cow with the same desired qualities. Cloning is also naturally done by producing fraternal twins in cattle.
What are some positives things about animal cloning?
If cloning became cheap we could mass clone our farm animals to help bring the prices down for what they produce. example-clone a sheep you have more wool, clone a cow you have more beef
How were the first cow cloned?
The information is unknown how the first cloned cow was made. The first known cloned cow was named Gene and was cloned on February 7, 1997.
How do you clone myself?
You'll need a micro-pipette a petrie dish, an electrical current source a good microscope and newly impregnated cow. Then you need to extract an embryo from the cow and remove its genetic nucleus under the microscope with the micro pipette and then extract and inject your own dna from any old cell from your own body and then inject your dna into the cow embryo, then zap it with a bit of current, wait a little while until you get a blastocyst in the petrie dish, and then smiply embed the cell back into the cows uterus and wait 9 months. If you're a lady you could introduce the blastocyst into your own uterus. hope this helps and good luck let me know how it goes. cheers
How many years does a female have calves?
That all depends on how long she lives to, and whether she is a donor cow in terms of embryo transfer.
Can a cow have 42 calves in a year?
Yes, through embryo transfer. While she won't physically carry the calves to term in her body, her embryos can be placed in a recipient cow. This allows the original "donor" cow to produce multiple calves for her genetics every year.
Can a human fetus really be brought to full term in a cow's uterus?
No. The human embryo would die because it cannot attach itself to the uterine wall of the cow due to the fact that the placenta of a human is much different from the placenta of a cow, and that a human and a cow are genetically very different from each other.
What deformities can cloned cattle embryos have?
Usually the embryos are inspected under a microscope for such things before they are transferred to a recipient cow. An embryo with a deformity won't last very long, getting miscarried by the recipient cow or end up being absorbed into the donor cow's system. Even healthy embryos can get miscarried by the recipient cow, since acceptance by that cow can be a risk in itself.
What is cow punching?
