After opening his second laboratory of genetics and cloning, the holders of New Millenium Cabana reported the birth of three pigs and sheep await the arrival of Santa Ines. A business that is emerging as an alternative to producing beef

On Thursday July 29 Ochre Track Pavilion of the 124th Exhibition of Livestock, Agriculture and Industry International Boer goats received at the hands of Millennium Cabins for the swearing in the categories champions and great champions.

Around noon, people visiting the exhibition was approaching and the goats gained attention thanks to its elegant appearance and manageability. But looks are diverted when the first cloned goats, Sleep and Due-Due, that restless, and as healthy as others, got caught between the legs of their caregivers and their belts. With the numbers 2330 and 2331, two copies were awarded a special mention for being the first two clones in Argentina, presented at the Rural Society. "We had high expectations because it is a very special year, besides being the year of the Bicentennial cloned the first kids were born, so we are very pleased with the results, "said Paul Mellano us.

Millennium Cabins happy for the successful hosting of the Rural Society with cloned goats, was awarded the First Prize in the category Adult Male Race Champion Boer. After eleven years of breeding this breed and ten participating in the exhibition with her, this information shall continue to demonstrate responsibility in goat production, and the resulting progress in the results.

The Millennium Cabins stand with their pens and goats continued to receive family and curious children during the day. As loving and gentle pets for children, also missed the pictures with the kids newborns. Flashes and questions surrounding the keepers of goats, which were consistently met. A sunny afternoon in contact with nature and livestock production in our country, a goat underworld in the big city.

To share with family Mellano this "dream" come true, People Magazine approached the Germinal Biotech Lab facilities in the town of Marcos Paz.
"Dream" is the first cloned goat in South America, "restless and playful," was presented in partnership in the arms of the President's Office, on 10 June. And despite the name they were baptized, it's a scientific reality, the product of research and dedication of several specialists.

In the issue published on June 29, 2010, People spent a colorful note with photographs and interviews with Michael Mellano , owner of Booths Millenium. It is there that this project comes familiar with the raising of goats , sheep and cows. And then build another ambitious undertaking: a laboratory Argentine scientist, working with Canadian colleagues, seeking to improve the quality of the production of goats. And with the bonus of audacity, to foster a market for these lean meats and economic, traditional Argentine market.

The article brings the reader the techniques and ways in which the "great achievement" of cloning becomes real. For example, inhalation anesthetics used, avoiding aggressive towards the animal, and the precarious situation in veterinary special equipment, which must contrive to make their own workshop inputs.
At the start of the intervention was removed from the animal oocytes (eggs), remove the core of it and is inserted into the DNA of the animal to be cloned. At this stage high technology is used, from a micromanipulator "gets hand" within the cell.

But they are not the only Argentine eyes involved in turn is being transmitted to the team of veterinarians and biogenetistas Canada by videoconference.
Then, for the new nucleus to fuse with the cell, is given a minimum electrical discharge using a electromanipulador.
Finally, "they are stored in the" stove ", an incubator where they mature until they can be implanted in a female, that will take until the end of pregnancy."
Outside the laboratory contact with nature, the countryside and these beautiful animals recall the purpose of "creating life" pursued by this company familiar.La cloning improves and increases the reproduction, without hurting them. Biogenetics is the new way.
