Table 4. Comparison of oocyte enucleation efficiency between SCNT and mHMC groups.
| Cloning method | No. of oocytes examined | No. of oocytes enucleated (%, mean ± SEM)1) | No. of intact oocytes (%, mean ± SEM)2) |
|---|---|---|---|
| SCNT | 673 | 659 (98.01 ± 0.57)a | 636 (96.50 ± 0.84)a |
| mHMC | 740 | 610 (83.83 ±2.47)b | 544 (90.10 ± 2.11)b |

Values with different letters in the same column are significantly different at p < 0.05.
SCNT, somatic cell nuclear transfer; mHMC, modified handmade cloning.
