Xiao Wu was very annoyed recently because his pet dog passed away. I don’t know if it is because of Xiao Wu’s “persistence” or “excessive”. After learning that the pet dog was cloned, Xiao Wu was in a very complicated mood. He posted online and hoped to find a reliable “ clone ” to accompany him again for his love pet companionship. Many people have had experience raising dogs, but they often regret it because the dogs suddenly walk. Although cloning technology can make dogs one step closer to their owners, before that, many animals died, people would choose to spend money to let their pets do cloning. So how much does it cost to clone one or more pets?
- 1. How much does it cost?
- In terms of price, under normal circumstances, the cost of cloning pets is higher than that of selling kittens and puppies directly. For example, when Xiao Wu posted online, the pet owner had consulted the other party about the price of cloning the pet. If it was an ordinary kitten or puppy, it would cost at least about 50,000 yuan. But in fact, in addition to the price, some people may be more concerned about how much the pet owner spends. However, if you are buying more than two pets, you need to know the family status of the pet, whether you have kept a pet like you. According to relevant media reports, domestic cloning service providers and pet hospitals have generally established business cooperation relationships, and it is not ruled out that they buy it themselves and then give it to others. This method is relatively cheap. It is understood that some pet hospitals and pet cloning centers abroad have become one of the emerging things in China.
- 2. What is the charging standard?
- In fact, pet cloning technology has developed and matured in China. It is understood that domestic pet cloning technology is basically divided into two types: one is that it has begun to be commercially applied abroad, and the other is that it has achieved technological breakthroughs in China, but because of its high price, it is not well-known to the public. Domestic pet cloning technology started late compared to foreign countries, and its charging standards are mainly composed of technology providers, donors, service providers and enterprises. Technology providers mainly provide domestic services such as egg cell and embryo culture, animal cell extraction and preparation, cell preservation and transportation, as well as animal immunity, genetics, , embryo biology, biochemistry and other technical support and services during animal cell extraction. Service providers are divided into three types: commercial companies, scientific research institutions and individuals. Commercial companies mainly provide technical support for embryo cultivation, embryo transfer and other technical support. Individuals mainly provide cloning services and charge customers related fees.
- 3. How many pets can be cloned?
- According to the clone's experience, the number of clones that a pet can perform is in units of 1,000. In other words, a pet, that is, a female dog and an adult dog, can clone 1 child dog and 1 adult dog. However, with the development of technology, clones will clone more female dogs and adult dogs. At the same time, in order to avoid the female dog from getting infected with the disease, the genes will be retained.
- 4. What are the special requirements for the cloning process?
- Many people are curious about the details of the cloning process. So can this process go smoothly? In fact, there are some specific requirements. First, a puppy with about 500 somatic cells should be selected for test-tube cloning experiments; second, in the laboratory, you must be patient and careful to be responsible for the samples to be cloned. Finally, the experiment requires the use of a special somatic incubator to cultivate the test samples, and each "clone dog" requires two baby lambs. Currently, cloned animals are mainly used to perform experiments using human race or family lines. It is best for a pet owner or pet hospital to issue a health certificate before being cloned; if the pet hospital requires somatic cells and genes that are completely consistent with the dog, it can also be used
