How can we improve the success rate of fertilization during artificial insemination in animal husbandry programmes?

 

Answers (1)

MOET is a good method to follow to improve the success rate of fertilization during artificial insemination in animal husbandry. MOET stands for Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology. Under this programme, a cow is administered a hormone which has a similar activity like FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone). This causes superovulation in the cow, and the cow produces six to eight eggs in an ovulation cycle instead of the normal count of one egg per ovulation cycle. After that, that animal is artificially inseminated. Zygotes are allowed to develop up to 8 to 32 cell stage. Then the embryo is transplanted to surrogate mother so that a healthy calf would be produced. This method ensures a higher success rate in artificial insemination.
