| Figure 2: Schematic of somatic cell nuclear transfer in pigs. In this model, the whole procedure, including the in vitro maturation of oocytes, nuclear transfer, embryo transfer and pregnancy period, is shown. A total of 114 days are required for the gilts to give birth to piglets after embryo transfer, although it takes only 2.5 days from ovary collection to embryo transfer. |
