Solution

The correct option is D Both 2 and 3

Sometimes, the process of multiple ovulations (superovulation described above) and embryo transfer are considered together which is referred to as MOET. The embryos developed in the superovulated animals (described above) are recovered after 6-8 days of insemination. In the case of cattle, the recovery process is easy and can be done by using a catheter. For certain animals with the smaller reproductive tract, surgical procedures may be needed to expose the oviduct and recover the embryos. These embryos are examined microscopically and identified.

The embryos are then transferred into a synchronized recipient (i.e. the foster mother) by using a procedure, which is comparable to artificial insemination. Alternately, the embryos can be frozen and stored for use at an appropriate time and place later. About 50-60% of pregnancy could be achieved in cattle with transferred embryos. Thus, a superovulated female may result in 5-6 pregnancies.

So the correct option is D, Both 2 and 3
