The first cloned goat in China was from adult ear skin, it was born at Yangling, Northwest A&F University. [45] The Middle East's first and the world's fifth cloned goat, Hanna, was born at the Royan Institute in Isfahan, Iran in 2009. The cloned goat was developed in the surrogate uterus of the Bakhtiari goat. Iranian researchers were reported ...
A man with pellagra, which is caused by a chronic lack of vitamin B 3 in the diet. Severe deficiency of niacin in the diet causes the disease pellagra, characterized by diarrhea, sun-sensitive dermatitis involving hyperpigmentation and thickening of the skin (see image), inflammation of the mouth and tongue, delirium, dementia, and if left untreated, death.

Researchers have developed GM dairy cattle to grow without horns (sometimes referred to as "polled") which can cause injuries to farmers and other animals. DNA was taken from the genome of Red Angus cattle, which is known to suppress horn growth, and inserted into cells taken from an elite Holstein bull called "Randy".
Example of a label showing the amount of niacin (Vitamin B3), and specifying to be niacinamide in the ingredient section..

In the US, niacin is also available as a dietary supplement at 500 to 1,000 mg/tablet. Niacin has sometimes been used in combination with other ...
The 14,000-square-metre facility would have hosted a laboratory, a cloning center, a gene bank, and educational exhibits for the public. [2] The consortium planned to spend 200 million RMB (US$31 million) to produce 100,000 cloned cattle per year for China's rapidly growing beef market, and then expand to one million cattle per year [3] [1] (China planned to buy one million head of cattle from ...
[31] [32] Sooam Biotech was reported to have cloned approximately 700 dogs by 2015 [31] and to be producing 500 cloned embryos of various breeds a day in 2016. [33] In 2015, the longest period after which Sooam Biotech could clone a puppy was 12 days from the death of the original pet dog. [ 34 ]
In 2015, the European Union voted to ban the cloning of farm animals (cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, and horses), and the sale of cloned livestock, their offspring, and products derived from them, such as meat and milk. The ban excluded cloning for research, and for the conservation of rare breeds and endangered species.
