Gorakhpur Farmers Boost Profits with Sexed Semen, Advanced Cow Breeds

• Animal husbandry is transforming into a profitable business model for Gorakhpur farmers, especially in dairy.
• Sexed semen technology ensures over 90% chance of a female calf, addressing financial losses from male calf births.
• Initially expensive, sexed semen is now available at veterinary hospitals for just 100 rupees, making it accessible to small farmers.
• Female calves grow into milk-producing cows, increasing milk production, securing future generations, and saving costs associated with raising male animals.
• Choosing high-yielding breeds like Gir, Sahiwal, and Tharparkar, which produce 10-18 liters of milk, further enhances profitability for farmers.
