Assisted reproductive technologies such as artificial insemination (AI) and multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET) have been introduced to overcome reproductive inefficiencies and accelerate genetic gain. However, MOET in water buffalo is compromised by the poor ovulatory response of this animal species to hormonal treatment (Karaivanov 1986; Karaivanov et al. 1990; Misra et al. 1990; Cr...
