- Animal breeding aims at increasing the yield of animals and improving the desirable qualities of the produce.
- MOET 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 bred successfully to improve yields in a short time.
Important Points
- Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology (MOET) is one such program of animal breeding.
- In this method, a cow is administered hormones with FSH-like activity to induce follicular maturation and superovulation.
- Superovulation refers to the maturation of 6-8 eggs, instead of just one, per cycle.
- The animal is either mated with an elite bull or artificially inseminated.
- The fertilized eggs at 8-32 celled stages are recovered non-surgically and transferred to surrogate mothers.
- This allows the genetic mother to be available for another round of superovulation.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
