New Delhi: India is expected to import sex-sorting technology developed in the US by September to help the country overcome the problem of stray cattle, Union Minister of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries Giriraj Singh said recently.
The use of ‘sexed semen’, under the Union Government’s breed improvement programme, would become a turning point in overcoming the problem of stray cattle, he said. The transfer of technology from the US to India would also make the artificial insemination of sexed semen much cheaper, bringing the cost down to Rs. 100 per dose from the existing Rs. 1,200, Singh said.
