Table 5. Comparison of fusion and embryonic developmental rates of oocytes produced using conventional SCNT or modified HMC

Group	No. of oocytes (%, mean ± SEM)		No. of embryos developed (%, mean ± SEM)
Group	Injected	Fused	8 cell (%)	16 cell (%)	Blastocyst (%)
SCNT	322	184 (57.1 ± 5.8)^a	148 (80.4 ± 2.31)^a	101 (54.9 ± 5.00)^a	25 (13.6 ± 1.99)
HMC	240	207 (86.3 ± 2.4)^b	144 (69.6 ± 5.37)^b	89 (43.0 ± 3.75)^b	37 (17.9 ± 1.44)

Proportions calculated on the number of oocytes in each group.
The experiments were repeated seven times.
Values with different letters in the same column are significantly different at p < 0.05.
SCNT, somatic cell nuclear transfer; HMC, handmade cloning.
