How can we improve the success rate of fertilisation during artificial insemination in animal husbandry programmes?
The Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer (MOET) technique can boost fertilization success rates in which a cow is given hormone therapy (FSH) so that it can generate more than one ovum (6-8) in every menstrual cycle. After artificial insemination, the embryos at the 8-32 celled stage are transplanted to surrogate mother cows. Cattle, sheep, rabbits, mares, and buffaloes have all benefited from this technique.
