Inbred strains of pig become indispensable for a wide range of biological studies. In biomedical science, it is generally accepted that somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) technology with inbreed strain of pig is essential for xenotransplantation. In this study, we observed the anal atresia in a cloned pig which was derived from fetal fibroblast of inbreed miniature pig. A presumptive anal site of the cloned pig was excised and the rectum was sutured to apposed skin for treatment. This cloned piglet seemed to be normal with healthy status after surgery. This report can be useful for the treatment of anal atresia of cloned piglets.
