Question

Write the importance of MOET.

Answer 1

Hint: Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer (MOET) is a conventional embryo flush which is the most common procedure used in advanced cattle breeding. This method contains a five week superovulation program which results in several eggs released from a donor cow as compared to one during the natural heat.

Complete answer:
In MOET, the cow is inseminated and embryos are flushed from the cow's uterus the following week. This process involves placing the catheter through the cervix into the uterus of the cow where a cuff is inflated and flush is flushed in and out to collect the embryos from each horn. There are several benefits involved in this technique which is stated below:
This process helps in increasing the reproduction rate of the cow or any other individual. This technique can help in attaining the required population of any animal and can be used to bring back the endangered species of animals.
This technique is a non-surgical technique and gives an advantage that it will not harm the animal and will not cause any side effects in the animal’s body.
Embryos which will be obtained with the help of this technique can be transferred fresh or frozen in our lab for later use.
Entire MOET process can be carried out on the farm.
This technique is helpful in storing the embryos as embryo banks for future use.

Note: This technique is helpful as it helps in overcoming the problems of normal mating and makes a high success rate of crossing between the both male and female gamete.
