With the objective of creating high-yielding
progenies through genetic improvement, a total
of 77 Cattle Development Centres (CDCs) covered
1,500 villages. During the year 54,554
artificial inseminations (AIs) were performed,
23,760 were confirmed as pregnant and 10,466
live births took place, taking the total number
of progenies to 14,736. Nearly 55,000 milch
animals were covered under the preventive health
programme.
In some of
the project areas, dairy development was piloted
successfully. The total milk collected and sold
during the period was 4.45 lakh litres with a
turnover of about Rs 42 lakhs. |
