How can we improve the success rate of fertilisation during artificial insemination in animal husbandry programmes?

Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology (MOET) is used to improve the success rate of fertilization during artificial insemination in animal husbandry.

• In the method the cow is administered with certain hormone with FSH like activity.

• This hormone leads to the production of 6-8 eggs per cycle instead of one.

• The animal is then mated with an elite bull or is artificially inseminated.

• The fertilized egg at 8-32 cells stages is then recovered non-surgically and transferred to the surrogate mothers.

This technique ensures the increased production of herd in a short time.
