Over the last few decades artificial insemination (AI) has been instrumental in increasing milk yield, and thereby farmer’s income in the country. One of the signature benefits of AI is that this method that has the potential of rapid dissemination of elite male genetic material over a large geographical area. Even though AI is very powerful and useful technique for increasing the productivity of indigenous animals, the backbone for an effective AI program is the quality of the semen available.

As more and more farmers are adopting AI the demand for quality semen has grown exponentially and this has resulted in many semen stations, both government and private parties, cropping up throughout the country. Even though the semen station numbers have increased, farmers have no assurance of the quality of semen received from these stations. Also many providers have exorbitantly priced high genetic merit bull semen which most farmers cannot afford.

Farcow in association with ABS India, World’s leading provider of bovine genetics & reproduction services, distributes the best sexed semen throughout the Madhya Pradesh, India.
