Controlled Breeding Experiments

Controlled breeding experiments: 

1) Artificial insemination: 

These are carried out using artificial insemination and Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology (MOET).

• The semen is collected from the male that is chosen as a parent and injected into the reproductive tract of the selected female by the breeder. 
• Semen may be used immediately or can be frozen and used at a later date. 
• It can also be transported in a frozen form to where the female is housed. In this way, desirable matings are carried. 
• The success rate of crossing mature male and female animals is fairly low even though artificial insemination is carried out. 

2) Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology (MOET): 

• MOET has been demonstrated for cattle, sheep, rabbits, buffaloes, mares, etc.  
• High milk-yielding breeds and high-quality meat- (Lean meat with low-fat content) yielding bull have been breed to increase herd size in a short time. 

White Revolution in India:  

• The major contribution of Dr. V. Kurein for the white revolution in India.  
• Father of white revolution in India 
• He started Operation Flood, the world's largest dairy development programme. 
• He makes a Cooperative structure for milk dairy.
