Question:
Which one of the following step is not involved in Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology (MOET)?
Options:
A cow is administered hormones, with FSH-like activity, to induce follicular maturation and super ovulation.
A cow is administered hormones, with LH-like activity, to induce follicular maturation and super ovulation.
The fertilised eggs at 8–32 cells stages, are recovered non-surgically and transferred to surrogate mothers.
Cow is fertilized by artificially insemination.
Correct Answer:
A cow is administered hormones, with LH-like activity, to induce follicular maturation and super ovulation.
Explanation:
Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology (MOET) is one such programme for herd improvement. In this method, a cow is administered hormones, with FSH-like activity. The animal is either mated with an elite bull or artificially inseminated. The fertilised eggs at 8–32 cells stages, are recovered non-surgically and transferred to surrogate mothers.
