Section 1
Vision, Mission, Objectives and Functions
Vision: Improvement of cattle for higher productivity and profitability.
Mission: Germplasm improvement and technology development for realizing enhanced
productivity and profitability in cattle.
Objectives:
1. To develop a national milch breed of cattle ‘Frieswal’ using Holstein Friesian X
Sahiwal base and to test the crossbred bulls under field conditions
2. Genetic improvement of important indigenous breeds of cattle through progeny
testing.
Functions:
Development of a new breed of Cattle ‘Frieswal’ to produce 4000 kg milk in a
mature lactation of 300 days with 4.0 % butter fat. Testing of crossbred bulls by
evaluation of sires on the basis of performance of progenies under field condition.
Conservation and genetic improvement of some important indigenous breeds of cattle
like Ongole, Gir, Kankrej and Sahiwal in their native tract through associated herd testing
programme. Conduct of basic and applied research programmes related to breeding,
feeding, semen freezing and reproduction of cattle.

General comment
1.
Frieswal bull
calves
selected for
rearing
The
meritorious
male
calves born from elite
cows are selected from
different Military Farms for
rearing at BRU, Meerut as
future bulls for semen
collection.
The meritorious male calves Number
born from elite Frieswal cows
at Military Farms are superior
than the male calves born
from normal cows and are
used for semen production
for inter se mating of Frieswal
cows.
Selection
of
genetically
superior male calves for future
semen production will bring
genetic improvement.
2.
Frozen semen
doses
produced
The semen of the selected
bulls are collected and
frozen for insemination of
cows at the farms.
The semen is frozen in the Number
form of straws in liquid
nitrogen
for
artificial
insemination of cows.
Artificial insemination through
frozen semen doses is the
ideal
method
for
faster
multiplication of breed and it
helps in insemination of
desired number of cows from
few good bulls.
3.
Inseminations
carried out
Insemination of selected The crossbred bulls are Number

with progeny tested in field
Progeny testing is the well
accepted method to study the

and see the extent of

genetic worth of the bulls and
bring out improvement of field
cattle.
4.
Progenies
produced
Large
numbers
of
crossbred
cows
are
inseminated with superior
germplasm for production
of daughters in field to
study the production and
reproduction traits.
The number of progeny Number
produced by crossbred cows
through
insemination
of
superior germplasm in field
brings out improvement of
farmers herd.
The daughters produced by
the insemination of superior
germplasm have the better
production traits thus improves
the milk production in field
condition
5.
Inseminations
carried out
Insemination of indigenous
breed cows with selected
bulls semen is done at
GPU
and
associated
herds to bring the genetic
improvement of cattle.
The semen is collected from Number
superior bulls and frozen at
GPU of the respective breed
and is used for mating at
GPU and associated herds.
Artificial
insemination
in
required number is carried out
at the farms for production of
daughters.
6.
Progenies
produced
The progenies are born at
GPU
and
associated
herds for rearing as future
cows.
The daughters born at Number
Indigenous
farms
are
supposed to have inherited
the good production traits
received through superior
germplasm.
The progenies are produced at
the farms from each set of
bulls superior than the earlier
one thus bringing improvement
in subsequent progenies.
