Answers
The other technique for successful production of hybrids are:
Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology.
Embryo Transfer (ET) is an effective method of increasing the reproduction rate of individuals or groups of animals. This is an introduction to the Multiple Ovulation and Embryo Transfer (MOET) procedure.
All female animals are capable of producing far more eggs than they ever need over their lifetime. ET uses Follicle Stimulating Hormones (FSH) to cause the ovaries to release more than one egg in a cycle. Multiple eggs can then be fertilised inside the cow and collected non-surgically, usually 7 days after mating (or artificial insemination). These embryos can be transferred into surrogate mothers (recipients) who are at the same stage of their cycle but have not been mated. Many of these embryos are accepted by the recipients and a normal pregnancy occurs. Alternatively, embryos can be frozen for sale or later transfer.
advantages;
1)increases herd size
2)large population , in a short time.
