Strategies For Enhancement In Food Production

Holstein-Friesian is . the best? milch hybrid breed producing? 25 L/day or 7000-8000 Kg/year of milk,

Induced breeding involves the artificial method of fertilizing ova from the females and the sperms from males which are taken out by artificial means. Stimulation ?of 1 ovulation by administering gonadoiropins, FSH and LH is an important step in induced breeding.

The process of producing somatic hybrids (fusion of cells of two varieties of species) by polyethylene glycol (PEG) is called somatic hybridization. The plant cells without cell wall are called protoplast. The separation of protoplasts is done by the treating cells with pectinase and cellulase enzymes.

MOET (Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology) is a programme that is used to increase herd size. MOET has been done in cattle, sheep, rabbits, buffaloes, mares, etc. High milk giving breeds of females and high quality meat giving bulls have been bred successfully to obtain better breeds in a short time. 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 ..
