UP to increase high milk yielding cattle through surrogacy

Uttar Pradesh government has decided to use infertile cows to increase high milk yielding cattle in the state through surrogacy.
In the process, embryos of high-yielding cattle will be planted in the uterus of the infertile cows which will act as surrogate mothers to produce high-yielding calves.
Praising the initiative, state's Livestock Development Board CEO B B S Yadav said by this method, not only will the number of good variety milching cows be increased but the milk yield would also be increased manifold.
Four experts have been trained for this purpose in Uttarakhand, he said.
