MOET or Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer technology is the technique commonly used for herd improvement, i.e., a group of animals that live together or are kept together as a livestock.
The steps involved in the method are as follows.

  1. A cow is administered with FSH for inducing the maturation of the follicles and super ovulation, i.e. production of 6-8 ova per cycle instead of one egg.
  2. An administered cow is then allowed to mate with the selected bull or is artificially inseminated.
  3. The fertilised egg at 8-32 stages are recovered- non-surgically and transferred to the surrogate mothers.
  4. Development of embryo occurs. MOET is useful in the way that it enhances or intensify the production of genetically superior breeds of cattles and other herd animals.
