Breakthrough in Indigenous Breeding

Breakthrough in Indigenous Breeding

The ICAR-Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Izatnagar, Bareilly, has achieved a breakthrough in indigenous breeding by successfully producing Sahiwal cattle calves using advanced reproductive technologies. This accomplishment marks a significant stride in India's livestock science, as it demonstrates the potential for advanced technologies to be used in breeding programs. The Sahiwal breed is a popular and highly valued breed in India, known for its high milk production and hardiness. The use of advanced reproductive technologies has enabled the ICAR-IVRI to produce high-quality Sahiwal calves, which will be used to improve the breed and increase milk production in India. This breakthrough has the potential to benefit the livestock industry in India and improve the lives of farmers and consumers.
