NOTE

Comparing Embryo Transfer and Cloning in Cattle Reproduction

Mitochondrial DNA from the host oocyte could have minor influence on the calf being cloned, but the worry about it is minimal as research suggests its impact is minor. Embryo transfer has higher success rates compared to cloning, where success rates are significantly lower. Embryo transfer is a well-established technique with higher conception rates, whereas cloning involves making copies of an individual without genetic progress. With embryo transfer or artificial insemination, the focus is on creating better offspring than their parents, whereas cloning replicates individuals without improving genetic value. In practice, embryo transfer and artificial insemination are more common, cost-effective, and efficient than cloning in cattle reproduction.
