Multiple Ovulation and Embryo Transfer (MOET)

This is the ability to make female animal simultaneously produce several ova which are fertilized to form embryos

Objectives of MOET

1. Increases the number of offspring in the life time of a female farm animal
2. Makes cows with good traits produce more offspring for breeding beyond they natural capacity
3. Can be used in preserving endangered species since multiplication of offspring is high
4. It is easier to transport embryos than a live animal
5. Enables offspring to acquire better immunity from surrogate mothers
6. Weak and sick females can participate in the breeding program

Limitations of MOET

1. It is very expensive to carry out
2. It requires a lot of skill to be carried out
3. Success rate is very low
