Quality semen to be provided at all breeding centers of milkfed for breeding of buffaloes: Min

Chandigarh, Apr 20 (UNI)To break the stalemate in buffalo breeding in the state, Milkfed has decided to provide quality semen in all breeding centers in the state.
Disclosing this here on Tuesday, Punjab Cooperation Minister S. Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa said that Punjab was a leading state in milk production. The buffaloes of ‘Murra’ and ‘Neeli Ravi’ breeds are known all over the world for their milking ability besides being a leading player in providing high quality buffaloes to other states of the country. However, due to non-availability of high quality semen of buffaloes in recent times, there has not been much progress in the field of buffalo breeding.
The Cabinet Minister also said that to break this stalemate, the Milkfed has decided to provide semen from the milking buffaloes produced from more than 6500 litres per needle at all the artificial insemination centers of Milkfed. Pointing out further, he said that breed improvement is the key to dairy success because under no circumstances can the dairy business be made a profitable venture by keeping inferior breeds of cattle. “The buffalo is native to Punjab's and the environment here is conducive for breeding the animal. That is why Milkfed is determined to make every effort to produce a good breed of buffalo”, said S. Randhawa.
