Nagpur: A white cow standing weak suckle almost as tall as her chestnut calf on a dairy farm in Dhanori, some 50km from Nagpur towards Amravati.
Agriculture Diwe Sudhir owners who breed high-yield dairy Gir cows from the womb of the poor cousin, who Gaolao.
Gir breed has become a brand name for attention to indigenous cattle today, but Gaolao has not gained much fame.
Pure Gir calves on this farm have been submitted from Gaolao cow, found in Nagpur and Wardha.
There were 18 calves sired by a bull famous Brazilian Soberano, and nurtured by Gauri cow equally famous, but delivered by a little-known breeds of cattle.
Diwe, former officials specially tasked to Union transport ministers Nitin Gadkari, start a dairy business recently.
Not the first, but among some dairy farmers first tech-savvy, Maharashtra Animal and Fishery Sciences University (Mafsu) executive board member Diwe is bullish on cattle test tube.
Apart from cattle 18-year-old who was born in November of last year, another 10 are on the road.
This effort was also mentioned by Gadkari in the recent events.
This is probably the first herd of cattle Vidarbha test tube, and also may be among the highest rates were raised in one place.
Now, Mafsu also has acquired the technology and initial operation at the level of the expected soft start immediately.
Diwe got the idea during the annual agricultural expo Agrovision organized by Gadkari.
A kiosk was set up by JK Trust, Pune, which is part of the Raymond group, which makes the test tube calves.
It is expected that the cow tubes will generate at least 20 to 25 liters of milk compared with more than 8 liters of conventional Gir cattle.
“This is a cattle IVF, and it happens in the same way as is done in humans.
Soberano is a bull born to mothers who produce as much as 65 liters of milk.
cement imported by JK Trust.
Eggs are harvested from Gauri, cows that produce more than 20 liters, and among the best.
At an average of offspring can produce 40 liters but even 25 liters would be sufficient for local farmers, “said Diwe.
Frozen semen from bulls of high grade such as Soberano used to fertilize the egg cells of cattle such as Gauri.
Embryos formed in the incubator cows implanted into the uterus of the recipient.
“Cows give to breed anything, it should be enough to produce a few liters for a good calf.
Of course, certain screening is done prior to the emphasis on the recipient.
Of the 18 calves, 5 to 6 birth of Gaolao breed, “said Diwe.
The whole process was taken by JK Trust and the cost of Rs30,000 cows.
“It’s too expensive for ordinary farmers.
To improve the results of indigenous livestock governments should subsidize the process, “he said.
“The technology was available a little earlier abroad.
In India, we are working on it since 2016.
Gauri is a star player and so far we may have produced 500 calves a test tube, “said Dr.
Shyam Zanwar, CEO JK Trust, which is set to take over as national mentor for Rashtirya Gokul Mission.
“We started with a sheep embryo transplant in 1975 to increase production of wool.
It was not IVF but Vivi fertilization.
This process is slightly different.
Here, the resulting embryos in cow donor and then transplanted into the recipient.
In IVF, embryos are created outside and then transplanted.
After the project ended sheep, cows in vivo fertilization continue until 2000, “he said.
Zanwar hope to create a test tube offspring of other species as well.
BREEDING GROUND Gir breed India of Gujarat, also exported to Brazil over 50 years ago Brazil was developed animal produces high, while milk production is still low in India IVF or test tube calves were seen as a solution Cement and eggs of high grade Gir bull and cow were taken and fertilized in an incubator After seven days, the embryos implanted into recipient cows of each type of IVF is also being tried in other breeds such as Rathi, Sahiwal, Tharparkar and Ongole new technology was acquired by Mafsu, Nagpur also
