Question

Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology (MOET)

Method: Hormones with FSH-like activity are injected in cow $\to$ Induces follicular maturation and superovulation (instead of ovulation of one egg/normal cycle) $\to$ 6-8 eggs are released $\to$ Artificial insemination / Mating with a bull $\to$ Fertilization of eggs $\to$ Non-surgical recovery of eggs (zygotes) at 8-32 cells stage $\to$ Transfer of zygotes into the surrogate mothers and use of genetic mother for next round of superovulation.

MOET has been used for cattle, rabbits, buffaloes, mares, sheep, etc. This technique is used for herd improvement. Females with high milk-yield and males with high quality (lean meat with less lipid) meat have been bred successfully to increase the herd size in a very short time.
