Live birth of a Pashmina goat kid after transfer of handmade cloned embryos.

The present study aimed to establish a zona free (handmade cloning) embryo production system for Pashmina goat embryos. Abattoir derived oocytes were matured in vitro; after maturation, oocytes were enucleated and fused with somatic cells derived from an adult Pashmina goat tissue. The reconstructs were activated using a calcium ionophore-DMAP procedure.

Comparison of Two Doses of Ropivacaine Hydrochloride for Lumbosacral Epidural Anaesthesia in Goats Undergoing Laparoscopy Assisted Embryo Transfer.

Goats (n = 12) undergoing laparoscopy assisted embryo transfer were randomly allotted to two groups (I and II) and injected same volume of ropivacaine hydrochloride at 1.0 mg/kg and 0.5 mg/kg body weight, respectively, at the lumbosacral epidural space.
