A Journey through horse cloning - premetea

In conservation biology, there are concerns of genetic diversity that allow for continuation of the species through genetic variation. Although horses are not threatened with extinction, cloning may create less genetic diversity among horses by using cloned horses to breed and increasing the life time of breeding for specific genetics.

Although Premetea was a huge step in the equine cloning process, there has been a negative reaction to the cloning of farm animals, although largely based on food animals.

Premetea was produced using a completely in vitro technique

Although horses are not endangered, horses have been selectively bred for a very long time breeding toward successful mares and sires. Sires that were well known bred heavily and horses in generations were breed based off pedigree. Looking at the thoroughbreds, most horses have a family tree with the same relatives because of desired lineage closing the genetic variation through continued breeding of related lineage. shown in cloning can limit genetic variation and can cuase more issues.
