MOET(Multiple ovulation and Embryo Transfer)
In MOET, a cow is administered hormones with FSH-like activity, to induce follicular maturation and super ovulation to produce 6-8 eggs.
Then the cow is either mated with an elite bull or artificially inseminated
The fertilized eggs at 8-32 cells stages, are recovered non-surgically and transferred to surrogate mothers
The genetic mother is available for another round of super ovulation
This technology has been demonstrated for cattle, sheep, rabbits, buffaloes, mares, etc
High milk-yielding breeds of females and high quality (lean meat with less lipid) meat yielding bulls have been bread successfully to increase herd size in a short time
