(A) M.O.E.T. is a programme for herd improvement.
(B) This technology has been demonstrated for cattle, sheep, rabbits, buffaloes, mares etc.
(C) In this method, a cow is not administered with F.S.H. like a hormone.
(D) The fertilized eggs at 8-32 cells stages are recovered non surgically and transferred to surrogate mothers.

• A. Three
• B. One
• C. Two
• D. All are correct

Answer 1

The correct option is A Three

• Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology (MOET) is a program for herd improvement. This technology has been demonstrated for cattle, sheep, rabbits, buffaloes, mares, etc.
• In this method, a cow is administered hormones, with FSH-like activity, to induce follicular maturation and superovulation – instead of one egg, which they normally yield per cycle. They produce 6-8 eggs. The animal is either mated with an elite bull or artificially inseminated. The fertilized eggs at 8–32 cells stages, are recovered non-surgically and transferred to surrogate mothers.
• Hence statements (A),(B) and (D) are correct about M.O.E.T i.e three statements are correct about M.O.E.T.
• So, the correct answer is 'Three'.
