Question

Superovulation and embryo transplantation are meant for improving

• A. The quality of milk in various breeds of cows
• B. The quality of meat in various breeds of bull
• C. Breeds of rabbits and sheep
• D. All of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D

All of these

The correct option is D.

Explanation of the correct option:

1. Superovulation and embryo transfer are methods used to ensure that the mother is superovulated in order to produce a better breed.
2. One of the most well-known approaches for herd enhancement is MOET (Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer).
3. In this approach, the cow is given the hormone FSH.
4. As a result, follicular development is induced, and superovulation occurs, with six to eight eggs generated every cycle rather than the usual one. The cow is subsequently mated, either naturally or through artificial insemination.
5. When the embryo reaches a certain stage, 8-32 cell stage to be precise, it is removed from the genetic mother and introduced into the surrogate mother, thus making the genetic mother ready again for the process.
6. This guarantees that milk quality is enhanced.
7. This procedure is also used to increase the quality of meat as well as rabbit and sheep breeds.

Final answer: Superovulation and embryo transplantation are meant to improve the the quality of milk in various breeds of cows, the quality of meat in various breeds of bull and breeds of rabbits and sheep.
