Write a short note on Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology.

Answer»

Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology (MOET) is a programme for herd improvement. Different steps in this method are :

(i) A cow is administered hormone (like FSH) to induce follicular maturation and super-ovulation, i.e., 6-8 eggs in one cycle. 

(ii) The cow is either mated with the selected superior bull or artificially inseminated. 

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

(iv) Now, the genetic mother is available for another round of super-ovulation. 

(v) This technology has been used for cattle, sheep, rabbit, buffalo, mare etc. 

(vi) High milk-yielding breeds of females and high quality meat-lean meat, with little fat yielding bulls have been bred successfully to obtain better breed and increase the herd size in short time.
