Cabaña Nuevo Milenium presented the first copies cloned in the region, two of Boer goats and three sheep (counting a pair of twins) of Dorper. This scientific work was conducted in his laboratory at Germinal Advanced Biotech, one of a kind, located in the town of Marcos Paz. Were present the President of Argentina, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who toured the facility and said "these alternative meats are ideal because they do not feed grain so its price does not suffer variations in their cost."

With the aim of expanding the supply of goat meat, Cabaña Nuevo Milenium work with embryo transfer techniques and fertilization in vitro for mass production of meat real alternative to the vaccine, great nutrition and the lowest cost. Based on this fact, cloning animals can make copies of outstanding and accelerate large-scale breeding, because cloned animals tend to produce twice as semen and therefore serve the dual of females.

"We are very proud of this achievement after over 1 year of research and work. We commoditized acquired knowledge facilitate the production of goat meat, a highly profitable business for farmers and good for consumers, "said Michael Mellano, project leader.

The animals born in May 90 days ago, were inseminated with cloned embryos and gave birth by surgical intervention to avoid any complications that might occur in natural childbirth. The expert team comprised of veterinarians, geneticists, biologists and assisted reproduction in both animals and humans, said that there is very little history of results like this in the world.

Today, Cabaña Nuevo Milenium copies awaiting the birth of cloned pigs and are already working to achieve this double meat with Omega 3 and Omega 6 and half in order to improve nutrition and reduce the cholesterol level the maximum. In the future cloning will also allow the introduction of new genes endogenous to accelerate growth or disease resistance. This determines, without doubt, a great opportunity for growth for the livestock industry in our country and throughout the region.

The Latin American Association of Specialists in Small Ruminants and South American Camelids (ALEPRyCS) is pleased to invite you to its Sixth Congress, which will be held from 7 to September 11, 2009, at Hotel Real de Minas Traditional, in the City Queretaro, Mexico.
