A) What is the program called, that is involved in improving success rate of production of desired hybrid and herd size of cattle? B) explain the method used for carrying this program for cows

Dear student

Please refer the solution below for the said query
 

A.
Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer (MOET) Technology

B. 

Cow is administered with FSH-like hormone, which induces follicular maturity and super ovulation. In super ovulation, instead of one egg/cycle, 6 − 8 eggs are produced per cycle. The cow is either naturally mated with a superior bull or artificially inseminated. Fertilized egg is recovered at 8 − 32 cell stages non-surgically and transferred to a surrogate mother. Using this technique, high milk-yielding breeds of females and lean meat-yielding bulls have been bred successfully.



Hope this information clears your doubt about the topic.
