Results behavior Cute Puppies World's First In Vitro Fertilization

New York - Tim veterinarians, scientists and lab workers gathered around a dog that became the landlady, and watched it gives birth to seven puppies weighing 220 grams, the dogs were first born through IVF.

"We raised each puppy and clean it with a small towel. When they squirm and cry, we know that we are successful," said Dr. Travis Alexander, who set up a laboratory at the Baker Institute for Animal Health, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York.

"Their eyes are closed. They are really adorable. We checked out and make sure they all look normal and breathe," said Dr. Travis quoted by Mashable,

Cute puppies were born on July 10 is a mixture of beagles, labradors and cocker spaniel. Now they have puppies 5 months healthy and really adorable, with drooping ears. They also love to play like puppies in general.


All dogs, except the females had been adopted. The female dog reared in the laboratory for dipelihahara to have the puppy itself.

Laboratory distinguish each dog one another by way of coloring their nails with different colors. Travis adopted two tails, which are still recognized by the color of her nails, the Red and the Green.

The process of in vitro fertilization, which is another term IVF, the process of fertilization of eggs by sperm outside the body .. This process is commonly used in couples struggling to have children, although there are cases of single women who do.

On July 25, 1978, was born the first man that comes through IVF in Oldham General Hospital, Greater Manchester, UK, a baby girl named Louise Brown.

In the same year, a baby born in India with a similar process experimental results themselves, by a scientist named Subash Mukhopadyay. Unfortunately, the results of experiments conducted Mukhopadyay Subash was not recognized, because of the lack of research evidence behind it, according to the Telegraph India.

Application of IVF in animals continues to fail, until now, according to Dr. Pierre Comizzoli, physicist reproductive Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, who works with Cornell.

"Life is very different from dogs to humans," said Comizzoli. Pregnancy dog ​​lasted only two months, and a female dog in ovulation only one or two times a year, producing immature eggs, whereas IVF requires a mature egg.

Early experiments at Cornell helped pioneer the course of the experiment. In 2013 in Cornall, a puppy named Klondike became the first dog born from frozen embryos. Klondike mother who is a Beagle dog undergo enrichment process using artificial insemination. His embryo was collected, frozen and implanted in the landlady Klondike.

Comizzoli birth of seven puppies describe it as a 'major breakthrough'.

A scientific paper describing the puppies Cornell as "the birth of the first successful dog from IVF embryos", ditebitkan in the journal PLoS ONE.

The main constituent, Doctor Jennifer Nagashima of the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute says that IVF technology in dogs can be useful in many ways, of preserving endangered species to eliminate 'the destructive nature of the results of breeding'.
