Action plan for proper implementing
the programme
Identification of operational areas/ regions for the breed/
genetic group/ animal population to be improved upon.
Infrastructure development in the operational areas including
establishment of AI centers, animal health centers, milk
procurement and extension centers fully equipped with trained
man power i.e. veterinary, para-veterinay staff so as to enlarge
network if breeding facilities for covering large number of
breed able bovine animals.
Establishment and strengthening of breed nucleus herds/ bull
mother farms, young bull rearing centers, semen collection and
processing laboratories.
Establishment of data bank to carry out activities on animal
identification and performance recording linked with progeny
testing programme for selection of large number of high
genetic merit bulls.
Action plan for proper implementing the programme
Networking of breed specific organized government/private
cattle and buffalo farms and large progressive farmers’
herds for testing of large number of breeding bulls and
linking with performance recording and progeny testing of
bulls under farmer herds in village conditions.
For faster multiplication of superior germplasm, selected
organized breeding herds should adopt open nucleus
breeding system with or without MOET and other emerging
reproductive and genetic techniques.
Formation of the milk producers’ cooperative unions/breed
societies/ NGOs for participation of farmers/ breeders in the
activities on breed development and improvement as their
own programme.
Improved evaluation methodology for the selection of
better parent.
