Safe birth of cloned cattle "Keke"

Introduction: the first batch of self-made cloned cattle in China began to appear one after another At 3:30 p.m yesterday, the cloned cattle "Keke" was born in good health in wulidun large animal embryo engineering center, Caoxian County, Shandong Province, and now it is growing well According to the on-site staff, at present, the pulse and heartbeat of "Keke" are all normal, and colostrum has been taken and the first sip of milk has been taken Professor Ma Shiyuan, who carried out embryo transfer for the cloned cattle, said with a smile: "this cow has no problem in appearance As soon as I put my finger to his mouth, he wrapped my finger in his mouth and sucked it, which showed that he wanted to eat milk If the calf can eat, it will not be afraid!
