Population of adult animals in our district accounted through A.I. ranges 30 to 35%, and, through natural service ranges 70-75% by cow bulls/buffalo bulls having very poor hereditary characteristics, which can possess genetic diseases too. Progeny born though such natural services are very pathetic whose milk yielding capacity is very low. Such animals are not affordable in the time to come.
With the objective to develop cow bulls and buffalo bulls possessing finest characteristics for such natural service, a Breeding Center has been established at Vanskui of Mahuva tehsil.
Under DIPA (Progeny Testing) programme, cow- heifers/buffalo-heifers possessing finest hereditary characteristics are tested for contagious diseases and genetic diseases. And those which have clean record will be brought to the center and nurtured with scientific techniques; and then will be allotted to areas where A.I. is least acknowledged
In future, finest bulls will be produced through bulls provided from our Vanskui center which will have unparalleled characteristics as that of A.I. This year, we have provided five cow bulls/buffaloe bulls in different areas. |
