Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer (MOET) Technology is used for herd development. Steps involved in MOET programme ere: (i) A cow is administered hormones with FSH-like activity to induce follicular maturation and superovulation. (ii) The cow produces 6-8 eggs instead of one egg produced normally. () Mating is done either with an elite bull or artificial insemination is carried out. (iv) When the fertilised eggs attain 8-32 celled stage, they are non-surgically removed and transferred to a surrogate mother. (v) The genetic mother can be again superovulated now

Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer (MOET), a conventional embryo flush, is the most common procedure used in advanced cattle breeding.
It involves a 5 week superovulation program, resulting in several eggs being released from the donor cow, as opposed to one during a natural heat. The cow is inseminated and embryos are then flushed from the cow's uterus the following week. This involves placing a catheter through the cervix and into the uterus, where a cuff is inflated and fluid is flushed in and out to collect the embryos from each horn.
An average flush would produce 5 embryos, additional advantages of this technique are as follows:-
Increase the reproductive rate of individuals or groups of animalsNon-surgicalEmbryos can be transferred fresh, or frozen in our lab for use laterEntire procedure can be carried out on farmConsider 'banking' embryos in case of future TB breakdown
