Expand MOET with reference to animal breeding. Describe the process and use of it.

Explanation

Multiple ovulation and embryo transfer.
The steps in the method are as follows :
(i) A cow is administered hormones (like FSH) to induce follicular maturation and super ovulation, i.e., production of 6-8 ova in one cycle.
(ii) The cow is mated with a selected bull or artificially inseminated.
(iii) The fertilised eggs at 8-32-celled stages are recovered and transferred to surrogate mothers.
• This technology has been used for cattle, rabbits, mares, etc.
• High milk-yielding breeds of females and high quality meat-yielding bulls have been bred successfully to increase the herd size within a short time.
