Expand MOET. Explain the procedure of this technology in cattle improvement.

Answer»

MOET stands for Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology. 

Procedure: 

(i) In this method a cow is administered hormones, with FSH–like activity, to induce follicular maturation and superovulation. 

(ii) Due to superovulation the cow produces more than 6–8 eggs per cycle instead of one egg per cycle. 

(iii) This superovulated cow is mated either with an elite bull or artificially inseminated. 

(iv) The fertilised eggs at 8–32 cells stages are recovered non-surgically and transferred to surrogate mothers.
