6 Questions
What is the potential gain in dairy cattle achieved through artificial insemination?
1% of the mean gain is cumulative once each year's gain is achieved
What effect does the use of artificial insemination have on the rate of inbreeding in closed populations?
Provides a wider choice of unrelated genetic effect
What happens to the exogenous source in the context of multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET)?
It regresses naturally during the period when MOET is applied
What is the purpose of distributing semen from a team of young bulls?
To increase the intensity of selection of males progeny testing
What is the potential use of the corpus luteum (CL) in the context of artificial insemination?
It could be mated by a semen of bulls that have been long dead
Match the following terms with their descriptions:
Artificial insemination = Distribute semen from a team of young bulls Potential gain in dairy cattle through AI = 1% of the mean gain is cumulative once each year's gain has been achieved Multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET) = Use of the CL could be mated by a semen of bulls that have been long dead Exogenous source in AI = Negatively feedback on FSH and LH secretion, even after external source is withdrawn
