Superovulation

A process either through hormone treatment or embryo placement by which a cow will release more than a natural amount of eggs during ovulation. The eggs are usually collected and redistributed to cows who are ready to mate. This allows cows with superior traits to have more offspring than the 2-3 average for a lifetime.
