Scientists Find Twinning Technology in Dairy Cattle Succesful
The cow (Bos Taurus for European breeds and Bos indicus for indian Breeds), belonging to the family Bovidae, is characterized as a uniparous large ruminant- an animal capable of producing only a single offspring per birth.
The low prolificacy of cattle coupled with the small population used in breeding have contributed to the dwindling cattle production in the country. This problem may just have found solution in the first successful induced twinning in dairy cattle spearheaded by Dr. Antonio A. Rayos, veterinarian and assistant professor at the Dairy Training and Research Institute (DTRI) UP los Banos.
In a series of laboratory tests, two healthy calves (male and female) each weighing 18kg were successfully conceived after 254 days of gestation with the female co-twin having a normal reproductive tract on examination.
