Write a short note on multiple ovulation embryo transfer technology.

Explanation

Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer (MOET) Technology provides chances of successful production of hybrids. In this method, cow is administered with FSH like hormone, to induce follicular maturation and then the super ovulation is brought about. In each cycle, 4-10 eggs mature simultaneously. The cow is either mated with an elite bull or artificially inseminated. The blastocysts at 8-32 cell stage are recovered non-surgically and transferred to surrogate mothers. Who may not have superior quality who carries it to full form. The genetic mother is available for another round of super ovulation. Ova is fertilised by artificial insemination. This technology is successfully used for cattle, sheep, rabbits, buffaloes etc. High milk yielding breeds of female and high quality meat yielding bull (lean meat with less lipids) have been bred successfully to increase herd size in a short period and to improve the breed of cattles. By deep freezing it is possible to preserve 7 day old foetus for years.
