Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology (MOET) is now-a-days widely used technology which has helped to improve the hybrid production rate in cattles. In this method, hormones (with FSH-like activity) is given to the cow for inducing follicular maturation and super ovulation instead of one egg, which they usually give per cycle, they produce 6-8 eggs. The cow is either mated with a best bull or artificially inseminated. The embryos at 8-32 cell stage are recovered and transferred to surrogate mothers. The genetic mother is available for another super ovulation. MOET has been done in cattle, sheep, rabbits, buffaloes, mares, etc. High milk giving breeds of females and high quality (lean meat with less lipid) meat-giving bulls have been bred successfully to obtain better breed in a short time.

Advantages of MOET are as follows :
(i) It has increased the reproductive rates of various groups of animals.
(ii) It is non-surgical and embryos can be transferred fresh, or frozen in our lab for later use
