1. About fifty thousand of cattle embryos were transferred and 16000 ET-calves were born in 1999. Eighty percents of embryos were collected from Japanese Black beef donors and transferred to dairy Holstein heifers and cows. Since 1985, we have achieved in bovine in vitro fertilization using immature oocytes collected from ovaries of slaughterhouse. Now over 8000 embryos fertilized by Japanese Black bull, as Kitaguni 7~8 or Mitsufuku, famousbulls as high marbling score of progeny tests were sold to dairy farmers and transferred to their dairy cattle every year. 2. Embryo splitting for identical twins is demonstrated an useful tool to supply a bull for semen collection and a steer for beef performance test. According to the data of Dr. Hashiyada(2001), 296 pairs of split-half embryos were transferred to recipients and 98 gave births of 112 calves (23 pairs of identical twins and 66 singletons). 3. A blastomere-nuclear-transferred cloned calf was born in 1990 by a joint research with Drs. Tsunoda, National Institute of Animal Industry (NIAI) and Ushijima, Chiba Prefectural Farm Animal Center. The fruits of this technology were applied to the production of a calf from a cell of long-term-cultured inner cell mass (1988, Itoh et al, ZEN-NOH Central Research Institute for Feed and Livestock) and a cloned calf from three-successive-cloning (1997, Tsunoda et al.). According to the survey of MAFF of Japan, over 500 calves were born until this year and a glaf of them were already brought to the market for beef. 4. After the report of "Dolly", in February 1997, the first somatic cell clone female calves were born in July 1998 as the fruits of the joint research organized by Dr. Tsunoda in Kinki University (Kato et al, 2000). The male calves were born in August and September 1998 by the collaboration with NIAI and Kagoshima Prefecture. Then 244 calves, four pigs and a kid of goat were now born in 36 institutes of Japan. 5. Somatic cell cloning in farm animal production will bring us as effective reproductive method of elite-dairy- cows, super-cows and excellent bulls. The effect of making copy farm animal is also related to the reservation of genetic resources and re-creation of a male bull from a castrated steer of excellent marbling beef. Cloning of genetically modified animals is most promising to making pig organs transplant to people and providing protein drugs in milk of pig, goat and cattle. 6. Farm animal cloning is one of the most dreamful technologies of 21th century. It is necessary to develop this technology more efficient and stable as realistic technology of the farm animal production. We are making researches related to the best condition of donor cells for high productivity of cloning, genetic analysis of cloned animals, growth and performance abilities of clone cattle and pathological and genetical analysis of high rates of abortion and stillbirth of clone calves (about 30% of periparutum mortality). 7. It is requested in the report of Ministry of Health, labor and Welfare to make clear that carbon-copy cattle(somatic cell clone cattle) are safe and heathy for a commercial market since the somatic cell cloning is a completely new technology. Fattened beef steers (well-proved normal growth) and milking cows(shown a good fertility) are now provided for the assessment of food safety.

Cryopreservation of epididymal spermatozoa offers a potential tool for rescuing genetic material from males of genetically elite populations. Castration, catastrophic injury, sudden death or any other event that makes semen collection or mating impossible may prematurely terminate a stallion reproduction. Stallion epididymal spermatozoa vary widely in the loss of progressive motility, acrosomal integrity, and viability during freezing and thawing. The objective of this work was to investigate the effect of (1) freezing package types on cryopreservation efficiency, (2) thawing temperatures (37, 56 or $70^{\circ}C$) on Computer Assisted Sperm Analysis (CASA) parameters and (3) post-thawing incubation time (0, 1, 2 or 4h) on castrated stallion epididymis. Post-thawed sperm motility ranged between 59.69% and 64.28% ($56^{\circ}C$ and $37^{\circ}C$) in various thawing temperatures. When stallion epididymis sperm was frozen, straw was better than freezing tube on VCL (Velocity of Curvilinear Line) and VAP (Velocity of Average Path) parameter. Higher percentage of motility was observed at $37^{\circ}C$ thawing temperature even though no significant difference was observed among various temperatures. The motility, VCL, ALH (Amplitude of Lateral Head displacement), VAP, BCF (Beat-Cross Frequency) and STR (Straightness index) parameter of post-thawed sperm were significantly decreased by increasing the incubation time for all thawing temperatures. The present study showed that type of freezing package (Straw vs. Freezing tube) was not significantly different on cryopreservation efficiency. Furthermore, stallion epididymal spermatozoa frozen-thawed at $37^{\circ}C$ for 1 min resulted the highest proportion of motility and velocity movement. In addition, motility and viability of frozen-thawed stallion epididymal spermatozoa were also decreased by incubation.

본 연구에서 도축된 한우 난소를 aspiration법과 면도날 장착으로 제작된 기구를 이용해서 slicing 법으로 난포란을 회수하여 그에 따른 난포란의 회수율과, 난포란을 체외에서 22시간 성숙시킨 후 난포란의 핵 성숙을 및 체외수정 후 수정율과 발달율을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 난포란의 회수율에 있어서 각 난소당 회수는 aspiration법이 6.7개. slicing법이 15.1개의 결과를 나타내어 난소에 대한 난포란의 회수율은 slicing법이 유의적 (P<0.05)으로 높은 결과를 나타내었다. 2 Aspiration법과 slicing법으로 채란된 난자를 체외에서 22시간 성숙시킨 후, 제 2감수분열 중기까지의 핵 성숙율은 각각 83%와 62%로 유의적인(P<0.05) 차이를 보였으나, 난소 한 개당 제 2감수분열 중기까지 성숙된 난포란수는 aspiration과 slicing법이 각자 5.6개와 9.4개로 slicing법에 의해서 유의적 (P<0.05)으로 많았다. 3. Aspiration법과 slicing법으로 채란된 난포란의 발달을 조사결과를 살펴보면 분할율과 배반포기까지의 발달율에서 aspiration법이 유의적 (P<0.07)으로 높게 나타났으나, 이와 상반되게 난소 한 개당 생산된 배반포기 수정란의 수는 slicing법에 있어서 2.8개로 aspiration법의 2.1개보다 유의적인 (P<0.05) 증가를 보였다. 이상의 결과에 따라 많은 난자를 이용하기 위한 목적과 혹은 이식 가능한 다수의 수정란 생산을 위해서는 본 연구에서 고안 제작된 기구를 이용하여 slicing법으로 난포란을 채란하는 것이 효과적인 방법이 될 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 과배란처리에 의한 수정란이식 시 우수한 수정란을 다량 확보하고 이식 후 수태율 향상을 위하여 공란우 및 수란우에 bST처리가 수정란회수를 및 수태율에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 조사하고자 실시하였다. 공란우는 Folltropin-V와 PGF$_2$$\alpha$를 이용하여 과배란처리를 유도하여 12시간 간격으로 2 straw치 3회 인공수정을 실시하였다. 공란우와 수란우는 대조구와 bST처리구로 구분하였으며, bST(500 mg)처리는 발정발현 후 미근부에 근육주사하였다. 과배란처리된 공란우의 수정란배란을 수정 후 7~8일째에 비와과적인 방법으로 실시 하였다. 이식가능 수정란의 회수율과 평균숫자는 대조구와 bST처리구 간에 유의적인 차이가 없었다 (72.8%/5.9$\pm$4.5 vs. 83.7%/5.1 $\pm$1.6; P<0.05). 비여름철에 이식가능 수정란의 회수율과 평균숫자가 여름철보다 유의적으로 높았다(81.8%15.4$\pm$2.1 vs. 68.7%14.7$\pm$4.6; P<0.05). 수정란이식 후 수태율은 bST처리구에서 대조구보다 유의적으로 높았다 (64.0 vs. 47.1%; P<0.05). 그러나 이식 후 수태율에 계절간에 유의적인 차이는 없었다(51.6 vs.61.5%; P>0.05). 본 연구결과에서 bST처리는 수정란이식 후 수태율의 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 비여름철이 과배란처리 및 수정란이식에 유리할 것으로 판단된다.
