Brazil offers expertise to boost India's dairy cattle productivity
Financial Express Ahmedabad|December 30, 2024
BRAZIL, A MAJOR global producer of dairy products, has offered its expertise in the genetic improvement of dairy cattle through several technologies such as insemination and embryo transfer aimed at boosting the productivity of India's cattle.
SANDIP DAS Uberaba & Brasilia (Brazil), December 29

"We are working on some of the projects to bring in our expertise on genetic or breed development of cattle to India using various methods such as insemination and embryo transfer." Raquel Borges, international supervisor, Brazilian Association of Zebu Breeders (ABCZ), which has more than 24,000 members, told FE.

Borges mentioned that discussions are ongoing about establishing a joint Zebu research institute in both countries, aimed at boosting milk production and improving the genetics of the herd. While India is the world's largest milk producer, productivity remains low due to small herd sizes and a lack of genetic improvement in recent decades.
