Question

MOET is a method of
a. Fish cultivation
b. Birth control in humans
c. Cloning in sheep
d. Hybridization in cattle

Answer 1

The full form of MOET is the Multiple ovulation embryo technique, wherein this technique, multiple ovules are fertilized and the embryo is collected after the 7th day of fertilization without any surgery, and it is a traditional method, generally followed for the embryo production.

Complete answer:
- This method of MOET is used in the cattle, generally, a cow gives one half a year, but by using this method multiple calves are produced from genetically fit cows.
- In these methods, the animal is treated with follicle stimulating hormone to increase the cycles of ovules, and inseminated to produce multiple embryos.

Steps of MOET.
Programming: In this step, the donor cattle is treated with follicle stimulating hormone, and the prostaglandin which is injected to the muscles of the cow, and at this period it should have rich nutrition.

Heat detection: Heat is regularly checked in the cows at the time of insemination. Embryo collection: The donor and the recipients cows are secured in the best place, and the epidural is given to the donor to relax it’s bowel, and the rear end is washed properly to Prevent infections, and veterinary doctor place the hand through rectum and place the catheter where embryos are caught and they transfer and the donor is again injected with prostaglandin for further cycles. The collected embryos are counted and they are preserved by the liquid nitrogen or they can directly transfer to the recipients by the embryo gun.

Embryo transfer: The transfer of the embryo is done by injecting epidural to the recipient and transfer through guns.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

Note: This procedure increases the reproductive rate of the cattle without any surgery, and can be easily done in a farm, when the collected embryos are stored In lans or in cryopreserved banks for the future use.
