Horse cloning is the process of obtaining a horse with genes identical to that of another horse, using an artificial fertilization technique. Interest in this technique began in the 1980s. The Haflinger foal Prometea, the first living cloned horse, was obtained in 2003 in an Italian laboratory. Over the years, the technique has improved.
ViaGen began by offering cloning to the livestock and equine industry in 2003, [20] and later as ViaGen Pets included cloning of cats and dogs in 2016. [21] ViaGen's subsidiary, start licensing, owns a cloning patent which is licensed to their only competitor as of 2018, who also offers animal cloning services. [22] (Viagen is a subsidiary of ...
In 2003, the world's first cloned horse, Prometea, was born. [48] In 2006, Scamper, an extremely successful barrel racing horse, a gelding, was cloned. The resulting stallion, Clayton, became the first cloned horse to stand at stud in the U.S. [49] In 2007, a renowned show jumper and Thoroughbred, Gem Twist, was cloned by Frank Chapot and his ...
DNA was taken from the genome of Red Angus cattle, which is known to suppress horn growth, and inserted into cells taken from an elite Holstein bull called "Randy". Each of the progeny will be a clone of Randy, but without his horns, and their offspring should also be hornless. [65]
This gelding is best known as the world's second cloned horse, after Prometea. [3] [4] In 2002, Pieraz's rider Valery Kanavy heard about cloning for the first time, and was extremely interested in the idea of her horse passing on his genetic heritage. [4] This made Pieraz the first horse to be cloned with the aim of preserving genetic capital.

An 81-year-old Montana man was sentenced Monday to six months in federal prison for illegally using tissue and testicles from large sheep hunted in Central Asia and the US to create hybrid sheep ...
An alternative technique called "handmade cloning" was described by Indian scientists in 2001. This technique requires no use of a micromanipulator and has been used for the cloning of several livestock species. [11] Removal of the nucleus can be done chemically, by centrifuge, or with the use of a blade.
