Quality Semen Prod.

Quality semen production

    Quality frozen semen is the critical input for Bovine breeding. As per the field requirement, the semen production schedule is being planned and the shortfall in the production level was bridged by procuring good quality crossbred and buffalo frozen semen from leading organizations of our country.

Rearing Donor Bulls

    Single pen accommodation has been created for rearing bulls in the frozen semen station, Cuttack. About 80 donor bulls of different breeds like Hariana, Red Sindhi, Pure Jersey, Crossbred Jersey and Cross Bred Holstein Friesian are being maintained in the Frozen Semen Station for collection of semen.

Strengthening of Frozen Semen Bank Laboratory

    The frozen semen-processing laboratory established in 1978 has been strengthened under Central and State sponsored schemes. The laboratory has been renovated to provide more space and by creating a separate room for storage and despatch of semen. It is well equipped with modern equipments to produce 15 lakh doses of semen per year. All the critical equipments are under AMC and measuring equipments are calibrated by Regional Reference Standard Laboratory, Bhubaneswar.
