Bhopal: Matrimonial profiles of bulls ready

Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh government has released a ‘Sire-Directory’, literally a compilation of matrimonial profiles of high quality indigenous bulls of the state, to enable the dairy cattle owners in sire-selection to ensure genetic improvement of their bovine breeds.

The directory, launched on December 21, offers multiple options to the farmers to have dairy cattle breed of their choice from among the select bull pedigrees through artificial insemination of their cows.

“The ‘Sire-Directory’ will be of immense help in giving a boost to the dairy sector in Madhya Pradesh by ensuring breeding of progenies of high milk production potential by use of proven pedigree bulls with higher sire indices,” managing director of Madhya Pradesh State Livestock and Poultry Development Corporation H.B.S. Bhadoria told this newspaper here on Thursday.
