Question

In Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology (MOET), a cow is administrated a hormone which resembles

• A. Pituitary hormone which is responsible for ovulation
• B. Oestrogen responsible for growth of embryo
• C. Progesterone responsible for fertilisation
• D. Pituitary hormone which is responsible for growth of ovarian follicle

Answer 1

The correct option is D Pituitary hormone which is responsible for growth of ovarian follicle

Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology (MOET) is a program employed for herd improvement.
In this method, a cow is administered with FSH (pituitary hormone) - like hormone to induce follicular maturation and super ovulation or maturation of multiple eggs instead of one egg.
The cow is either mated with an elite bull or artificially inseminated. When the fertilised eggs reach 8–32 cells stages, they are recovered and transferred to surrogate mothers.
