Boost Milk, Improve Breed: Crucial AI Precautions for Healthy Cows
•Dr. Anil Kumar highlights artificial insemination (AI) benefits and preparations to combat conception issues in cows, which impact farmer income and milk production.
•Lack of care, reproductive infections, or injuries often prevent cows from conceiving; natural insemination poses risks like injury and disease spread.
•AI offers a safer alternative, using semen from improved breeds to boost future milk production and rapidly enhance animal breeds.
•The government's NIP app allows farmers to track pregnant cows and use sex-sorted semen to increase female calf probability.
•Before AI, ensure the cow is in heat (bellowing, swollen organs, discharge); inseminate indigenous breeds 12-14 hours after heat, crossbreds 14-16 hours.
