Question

What is MOET? Explain the procedures involved.

Answer 1

Multiple ovulation and embryo transfer technology is a type of controlled breeding. In this method, hormones with FSH-like activity are given to the cow for inducing follicular maturation and super ovulation. Instead of one egg which they usually give per cycle, they produce 6-8 eggs. The cow is mated with the best bull or artificially inseminated. The embryos at 8 – 32 cell stage are recovered and transferred to surrogate mothers.
