The ecological adaptability of cloned sheep to free-grazing in the Tengger Desert of Inner Mongolia, China

Abstract: Since the birth of the first cloned sheep, somatic cell nuclear transfer technology has been successfully used to clone a variety of mammals. Cloned livestock have no apparent health risks, and the quality and safety of the cloned animal products are similar to non-cloned animals. The social behavior and environmental adaptability of postnatal cloned animals, especially when used for grassland farm production purposes, is unknown. In the present study, the cloned Dorper sheep equipped with GPS location devices… Show more

“…Having a high meat production potential and a good adaptation to various environmental conditions, Dorper sheep were brought to China from South Africa with the aim to improve the growth performance and carcase traits of the native Hu sheep (Cloete et al 2000;Kov acs et al 2008;Li et al 2015). The Chinese native breed, Hu sheep, are well-adapted to various environmental conditions in certain areas of China and are famous for their superior genotype and phenotype traits (Yue 1996;Xu et al 2018).…”
