**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the hormone injected into cows to induce follicular maturation and superovulation. 2. **Identifying the Process**: The process referred to is known as Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer (MOET). This technique involves stimulating the ovaries of a cow to produce multiple eggs. 3. **Hormonal Role**: The key hormone involved in this process is Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). FSH is responsible for the maturation of ovarian follicles, which leads to the production of eggs. ...
