Social Advantages:
- Mass amounts of animals reproduced.
- The stem cells in the embryos could be used as treatment for human illnesses.
- More animals can be reproduced with the desired traits.
- The animals that have been reproduced this way can be used as a supply of organs for transplanting to humans.
- Scientists could use this type of cloning to help endangered species.
- Scientists could also attempt to bring extinct species back to life for example mammoths or dodo birds.
Social Disadvantages:
- If for example a cow was reproduced this way and the cloning was incorrectly carried out at some point, its milk and beef could contain toxic resulting in people becoming seriously ill.
- If one animal was to be infected and die by an organism because of its genetic make-up, all the other animals that were part of that cloning process will also get infected and die as every clone is genetically identical to each other.

What is cloning and transplanting cattle embryos?
It is more known as "Embryo Transfer" than cloning and transplanting embryos of cattle. A cow is flushed so that she will super-ovulate, and artificially inseminated, then she's flushed again so that the embryos can be collected and transferred to donor cows. The donor cows hopefully accept the embryo that they have inserted into them and grow the embryo into a fetus then birthed as a calf. The super-ovulation is a method that encourages natural cloning, even though it's not natural itself by many standards.
What are the ethical issues with cloning cattle embryos?
There are not many ethical issues with embryo cloning in cattle but one of them is that it's not natural.
What are the social advantages and disadvantages of cloning and transporting cattle embryos?
disadvantages are that if it goes wrong people will get sick so people will have to pay compensation
How cloning is used in cattle breeding?
Cloning is used in cattle breeding by taking an embryo of a donor cow (being a female of top breeding quality) and making it into a copy of that cow with the same desired qualities. Cloning is also naturally done by producing fraternal twins in cattle.
Advantages of cattle farming?
Cattle Farming can be a profitable business.
What has the author George E Seidel written?
George E. Seidel has written: 'Embryo transfer in dairy cattle' -- subject(s): Dairy cattle, Embryos, Transplantation
What is a hybrid between a cow and a buffalo called?
Cattle and true buffalo cannot mate, as the embryos fail. A hybrid between the American Bison and domestic Cattle is called a Beefalo.
What deformities can cloned cattle embryos have?
Usually the embryos are inspected under a microscope for such things before they are transferred to a recipient cow. An embryo with a deformity won't last very long, getting miscarried by the recipient cow or end up being absorbed into the donor cow's system. Even healthy embryos can get miscarried by the recipient cow, since acceptance by that cow can be a risk in itself.
Is human cloning possible?
While human cloning has not been successfully performed, scientists have been able to clone animals. However, ethical concerns and technical challenges have so far prevented the successful cloning of a human being.
What advantages did ranching have over farming?
ranches raise animals like cows, cattle and more
Why do people transplant cattle embryos?
It's a method to produce more offspring from one donor cow than what she can produce if she were bred and produced calves normally. These embryos that come from a superior cow (which come from a process called super-ovulation) are taken out of that donor cow and put into other non-related cows to develop into calves.
What are the advantages of belgian blue cattle?
The upside of raising Belgian Blue cattle is the quick and easy way they put on weight. They also have a much higher edible muscle mass than many cattle, and the milk they produce for their calves is very high in protein.
