a) Raghavan was bold, having love for animals. He had ethics and prudence.
b) Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology
c) The cow is administered hormones, with FSH-like activity, to induce Follicular maturation and super ovulation (instead of one egg, which they normally yield per cycle, they produce 6-8 eggs).
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.
The genetic mother is available for another round of super ovulation.
This 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) meatyield.
