(a) Write the steps involved in multiple ovulation and embryo transfer.

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 artigicially inseminated.(iii) The fertilised eggs at 8-32 celled stages are recovered and transgerred 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
