The correct option is B One
Artificial insemination and Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology (MOET) are the controlled breeding experiments carried out to improve the quality of animals.
In artificial insemination, semen is collected from a male animal and introduced into the reproductive tract of the selected female by the breeder.
Disadvantages of artificial insemination
- Success rate is low.
- Probability of a calf having all desired traits is low.
Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology (MOET) is a part of controlled breeding experiments aimed for herd improvement.
MOET has been demonstrated for cows, sheep, rabbits, buffaloes, mares, etc. It has resulted in high milk-yielding breeds of females and high quality (lean meat with less lipid) meat-yielding bulls.
In the MOET, the selected female is administered with hormones having FSH-like activity to induce superovulation. Production of 6-8 eggs per oestrus cycle is called superovulation.
Hence, only statement 4 is correct.
