Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer (MOET) Technology is used for herd development. Steps involved in MOET programme are:
(i) Oestrous cycle is controlled in donor and surrogate animals.
(ii) The donor animal is administered with hormones that have FSH-like activity to induce follicular maturation and superovulation.
(iii) The donor produces 6−8 eggs instead of one egg produced normally.
(iv) Mating is done either with an elite male or artificial insemination is carried out.
(v) When the fertilized eggs attain 8−32 celled stage, they are non-surgically removed and transferred to a surrogate mother.
(vi) The genetic mother can be again superovulated now.
