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 Number
calves 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
farmer’s
cows
with
superior crossbred bull
semen is done in field
condition to bring the
improvement of cattle in
field condition
The crossbred bulls are Number
progeny tested in field
condition
to
bring
improvement of field cattle
and see the extent of
improvement
Progeny testing is
the well accepted
method to study the
genetic worth of the
bulls and bring out
improvement
of
field cattle
4.
Progenies produced
Large
number
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 Number
from 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 The daughters born at Number
at GPU and associated Indigenous
farms
are
herds for rearing as supposed to have inherited
The progenies are
produced at the
farms from each set
future cows
.
the good production traits
received through superior
germplasm
of bulls superior
than the earlier one
thus
bringing
improvement
in
subsequent
progenies
