Abstract

Two strains of mice (a black Balb/C x C5 BL and a white NMRI strain) were stimulated to superovulate and allowed to copulate with males of a similar strain. Blastocysts were obtained from black donor animals after cervical dislocation and flushing of the fallopian tubes 3,5 days after copulation. A total of 460 blastocysts were flushed and 6 blastocysts were transfered to each of the 71 white surrogate individuals which had copulated 2,5 days previously. A total of 51 births were documented with a 31,4% occurrence of black phenotypic animals in the litter.
