Annual Report 2014 – 2015 All India Coordinated Research Project on buffaloes was initiated in the year 1970-71 for genetic

evaluation of large and medium size buffaloes which was later on made specific on two important breeds viz. Murrah and Surti in the coordinated program. The main thrust was to test the sires with a view to produce proven bulls for enhancing milk production. The efforts made by scientific manpower through this venture are able to standardize testing methodology and germplasm evaluation for superior bull production of important breeds of buffaloes. The infrastructure has been created which is capable to generate germplasm in the form of bulls and frozen semen at some of the testing centers.

During the VIII Five Year Plan, efforts were made by coordinating various Institutions engaged in

buffalo research and institutional buffalo herds to meet the objectivity of producing large number of genetically superior breeding bulls on the basis of their pedigree and progeny performance. It has been initiated as Network Project on Buffalo Improvement and running at ICAR-Central Institute for Research on Buffalo, Hisar since 1993. This has ensured sustained maintenance and production of improved germplasm on large scale for use in buffalo improvement program and for establishing linkages with institutions. This is the only centre in India where semen from progeny tested proven bulls are available. Progeny testing in Murrah Breed is carried out at eight participating institutional /SVU centres viz. CIRB Hisar, NDRI Karnal and IVRI Izatnagar (non funded ICAR centers), GADVASU Ludhiana, LUVAS Hisar and LRS Mamnoor (funded SVU centres), KVASU Pookode and ICAR RC Patna (non funded centres). Three field centers of Murrah were also initiated in 2001 at CIRB Hisar, NDRI Karnal and GADVASU Ludhiana to produce more number of daughters per bull for accurately evaluating the breeding bulls. About 15000 artificial inseminations were carried out in 2014-15 at farmer’s door in the village to produce daughters. The milk yields of daughters are being recorded for use in sire evaluation. Apart from Murrah six other important buffalo breeds: Jaffarabadi, Pandharpuri, Surti, Nili Ravi, Bhadawari, and Swamp are covered under the project.

About 900 breedable buffaloes are being maintained at institutional Murrah centres for production

of high genetic merit male and female calves to be used for production of future sires. 188 bulls in fourteen set were test mated at various Murrah centre till August 2015. Test mating from 15 bulls of 15th set is going on since July 2014 and continues upto December 2015. 142 Bulls of ten sets has been evaluated. Top ranked 26 proven bulls with percent superiority ranging from 3.53 (Bull no. 829 IInd set) to 24.89 (Bull no. 1875 VIIIth set) over their contemporary daughters has been used for nominated mating for production of males calves for future breeding purposes. From 10th set onward BLUP method of sire evaluation is being used to evaluate the test bulls, the genetic superiority of 10th set proven bulls was 1.23 percent over the least square means of their contemporary daughters. 73291 doses of semen from these proven bulls are available at semen labs of CIRB, GADVASU and NDRI centre. In addition to semen doses from proven bulls more than 2.50 Lakh doses of semen of test bulls are also available at CIRB, GADVASU and NDRI centre. Germplasm dissemination is essential activity of the project in which breeding bulls and semen from test bulls and progeny tested (PT) bulls are being disseminated to the farmers, state animal husbandry departments, state livestock development boards and other developmental agencies for breed improvement. 9,06,015 frozen semen doses were disseminated/ sold to farmers and various agencies for improvement in milk production of buffaloes of the country from 1998-99 till 2014-15.

Elite herds of Jaffarabadi, Surti, Bhadawari, Pandharpuri, Nili Ravi, and Swamp breeds of

buffaloes have been established in their respective breeding tracts. Semen freezing laboratories have been established at all the centres. Nili-Ravi, Bhadawari and swamp breed centres are functioning as conservation and improvement units and Jaffarabadi, Pandharpuri and Surti breed centre are concentrating on field progeny testing along with maintaining the herd for bull production and testing. A breedable herd of 501 (Nili-Ravi-178, Jaffarabadi-151, Pandharpuri-34, Swamp-41, Surti-44 and Bhadawari-53) is being maintained of the six breeds.

Complex for ER Patna KVASU Pookode Objective: The objective of the project is to envisage and undertake progeny testing for improvement of various breeds of buffaloes through variouscentres in different parts of the country. Priority and emphasis to be on performance recording and improvement of Murrah, Nili Ravi, Jaffarabadi, Surti, Bhadawari, Pandharpuri and Swamp breeds and on semen quality testing laboratory.

Technical Programme: The technical programme involves testing of 12-15 bulls on about 1000 breedable buffaloes at organised farms at GADVASU, Ludhiana; CIRB, Hissar; NDRI, Karnal; IVRI, Izatnagar; LRS, Mamnoor and KVASU, Pookode in every 18-month’s cycle. From each bull 75-80 pregnancies are to be obtained so that 20-25 recorded daughters per bull are available at all the centres for the evaluation of bulls. The bulls will be ranked on the basis of performance of their daughters and 20% of them will be selected as proven bulls from each set. The semen of the proven bulls will be used on elite buffaloes at different centres for the production of future sires and herd replacements.

10. Salient Research Achievements: The overall wet average and herd average were 8.25 and 5.77 kg, respectively, reported highest since inception of the project and revealed an improvement of 3.0 and 16.15 percent, respectively as compared to the performance in 2013-14.

The overall 305 days lactation milk yield and total lactation milk yield during April 2014 to March 2015 was reported 2355 and 2502 kg, respectively, revealed improvement of 2.79 and 4.51 percent as compared to last year performance.

The AFC during the period under report was observed 42.84 months which is lowest since inception of the project and revealed 11.58 percent improvement over the last year performance.

During the period April 2014 to March 2015 the total buffalo herd and calf mortality (0-3 month) was reported 5.65 and 9.19 percent, respectively.

The overall conception rate during the period under report was 52.34 percent, which was reported higher than the previous year (51.22 %).

A total 1,27,429 semen doses were frozen at the semen freezing Lab during 1st April 2014 to 31st March, 2015. A total of 57,761 semen doses were sold and 42,721 semen doses supply in network project.

Publications: Book Chapters / Research Articles : 2 Invited / Lead Papers : 2 Papers presented in seminar / symposium and published : 9 PG Research : 1 (M V Sc.) Expected Socio-economic Impact: There is significant increased for demands of buffalo bulls and frozen semen. During the year under report 38 Murrah breeding bulls were sold to Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Haryana and developmental agencies for improvement of buffalo germplasm. During the year 2014-15 frozen semen doses 1,00,482 were supplied / sold to farmers and other buffalo / dairy development agencies. Two Murrah buffalo mela at CIRB, buffalo milk competition and four calf rallies in adopted villages were organized to demonstrate outstanding buffalo germplasm to farmers. These events have created awareness in rearing superior buffaloes.

Herd Performance The overall herd strength at the centre was 496 head, 152 calves were added due to birth. The breedable buffaloes were 237. During the period of report calf mortality (0-3 months) was 9.19 % (17/185). The female conception rate of 52.34 % at the farm is showing improvement over previous year. Total 1,27,429 semen doses were frozen and 57,761 doses were sold to different agencies and farmers. Semen were also collected from elite bulls of farmers at their doorstep on sharing basis, doses are available from these elite bulls.

Average lactation yield, lactation length, 305 or less day milk yield were 2501.72±60.17 (n=110), 313±5.57 (n=110) and 2354.65±47.55 (n=110) kg. The production performance was comparable to the last year performance. The reproduction parameters viz Age at first calving, Service Period, Dry Period and Calving Interval were 42.84±0.79 (n=61) months, 168±8.31 (n=88) days, 149±6.46 (n=88) days and 473±8.45 (n=88) days respectively. Wet and herd averages were 8.25 kg and 5.77 kg, respectively. This year first time the wet average crosses the 8.25 kg mark.

Targets achieved during 2014-15 S. N Trait Target Achieved 1. Av. Age at first service (months) 24 (300 kg. B. wt.) … 2. Av. Age at first calving (months) 40 42.84±0.79 3. Av. Age for initiating training of bulls (months) 18 (350 kg. B. wt.) …. 4. Av. Age at first collection (months) 30 (400 kg. B. wt.) -- 5. Av. Service period (days) 130 168 days 6. Calf mortality (0-3 months) < 5 % 9.19 % 7. Wet average > 8.5 kg 8.25 kg. 8. Herd average > 5.5 kg 5.77 kg.

Recommendations:

1. The reproductive parameters are still below the target. 2. AFC reduced this year and these efforts be continued to reduced it further and service

period is still higher.

Date of Start : 01/04/1992 5. Objectives : As per NWP(B) 6. Technical Programme : The GADVASU Centre of the all India Co-ordinated Research Project on Buffalo Breeding is one of the participating units of the Network Project on Buffalo Improvement from 1.4.1992. Broadly, the technical programme involves testing of 12-15 bulls on about 1000 breedable buffaloes at organized farms at GADVASU, Ludhiana; CIRB, Hisar; NDRI, Karnal; IVRI Izatnagar, HAU, Hisar and KVASU, Pookot in every 18-month’s cycle. From each bull 75-80 pregnancies are to be obtained so that 20-25 recorded daughters per bull are available at all the centres for the evaluation of bulls. The bulls will be ranked on the basis of performance of their daughters and 20% of them will be selected as proven bulls from each set. The semen of the proven bulls will be used on elite buffaloes at different centres for the production of future sires and herd replacements. 7.

10. Salient Research Achievements including survey reports/farmers animals covered in the project: Five bulls presented to Bull Selection Committee have been included in the 15th set of the project. One bull No. M2045 of 10th set ranked second among all the progeny tested bulls. The average age at 1st calving is achieved to 38.6 months. The average age at first collection of the bulls at the institute was 29.3 months. The average 305-day yield of the herd was 2674 kg and wet average of 7.97 kg and herd average of

4.98 kg during the period 4/2014 to 3/2015.

11. Publications: - 12. Expected Socio-economic impact in the tract : There is great demand of Murrah breeding

bull/bull calves as well as liquid and frozen semen of Murrah bulls from the centre. 13. Constraints if any : Regular staff like beldars, supervisors and milk recorders has been reduced in the

strength in the project which is causing working problems at the Dairy farm. 14. Focus of work in the coming year: Efforts will be made - To improve the reproductive efficiency of the buffalo herd. - To get the uniform calvings throughout the year. - To reduce the calf mortality. - To minimize the inbreeding effects permission and funds may be granted to introduce elite buffaloes

from outsources.

During the period 61 calving were reported with 38 male and 20 females and three still births. The calf mortality (0-3 months) during the period was 12.98 % (10/77). The female conception rate at the farm was low at 33.88 % (62/183) and lower than the previous year 36.61%.

During the period 57215 semen doses were produced from 10 bulls and 13510 semen doses were sold and 26330 doses were supplied to field unit/ other Murrah centres and other agencies. The 305 day or less day milk yield was 2674 kg (n=46) with average peak yield of 14.8 kg. The reproductive performance viz. AFC, SP, DP and calving interval were 38.6 months (n=23), 159.55±18.37 days (n=40), 185.18±24.51 days (n=40) and 512.63±24.10 days (n=41) respectively. The wet and herd averages were 7.97 kg and 4.98 kg respectively.

Recommendations: All the 15th set bulls were not used in equal proportion at the farm. Care should be

taken to use all set bulls simultaneously and in equal numbers for AI at the farm.

Wet average ≥8.5 kg. 8.05 kg 8. Herd average ≥5.5 kg. 5.10 kg 4. Activity carried out during the period The NDRI center is involved for genetic improvement of Murrah Buffalo breed along with other

centers under Network Project on Buffalo Improvement. i) Technical Programme : During the reporting period, the breeding programme in the

Murrah herd was followed for test mating of XIV th and XV th set of bulls. Fifteen set had 15 bulls of which eight bulls test mating continued up to March, 2015. The dams’ best

40

lactation 305 day or less milk yield of eight test bulls had ranged from 2828 in first lactation to 3605 Kg. Two proven bulls were used for elite mating at the centre.

ii) Targets and Achievements : The herd strength was increased during the reporting period. Average age at first service and age at first calving of buffaloes were 27.91 and 40.39 month. Average age for initiating training and age at first collection of the young Murrah bulls has significantly reduced to 17.60 and 22.75 months. The average service period of buffaloes has been estimated as 134.71 days. The overall female conception rate in the herd was 41.30 %. The female calf ( 0-3 month ) mortality was marginally higher ( 11.42 % ) than the target. The wet and herd average were increased to 8.05 Kg and 5.10 Kg, respectively. The average milk Fat, SNF and Total solid were estimated as 8.30 %, 9.65 %, and 17.95 %, respectively.

5. Selection of Young Murrah bull A total of twelve elite Murrah male calves were reserved during the period (2014-15) on the basis of Expected Predicted Difference and dam’s best 305d or less lactation milk yield, breed characteristics and physical conformity for selection of young male calves for future breeding. The dam’s best 305 days lactation milk yield of reserved males ranged from 2740 Kg in first lactation to 4088 kg. The EPD and superiority of reserved Murrah male calves ranged from 58 to 243 Kg and 2.71 to 11.36 %, respectively. The center proposed seven Murrah bulls out of which four breeding bulls were selected for test mating under XV th Set. The dam’s best 305 days milk yield of selected bulls ranged from 2828 in first lactation to 4341 kg.

6. Progeny Test Evaluation – Set-wise The information on 305 days milk yield of daughters were collected, compiled and supplied

to Nodal institute for genetic evaluation of XI th set of Murrah bulls using Contemporary Comparison Method.

7. Technologies developed / Success story(s) 1. The average age for initiating training and age at first collection of the young Murrah bulls has

significantly reduced to 17.60 and 21.75 months. 2. The age at first use (AAFU) of semen of Murrah breeding bulls has been optimized, which will help in early selection of bulls under progeny testing program for improving the reproductive performance in the herd. The average predicted CR based on first A.I was found highest (39.95%) at <3.5 years and lowest (34.87%) at >4.5 years of age at first A.I/use. Similarly, average predicted overall CR was found highest (41.05%) at <3.5 years and lowest (39.42%) at >4.5 years of age at first A.I/use of Murrah bulls. Under progeny testing program, Murrah bulls should be used at young age, i.e. prior to 3.5 years, which is expected to result in 5.08% better CR based on first AI and 1.63% better overall CR in comparison to Murrah bulls used after 4.5 years of age.

3. Genetic evaluation of murrah buffaloes using multi-trait animal model including fertiltiy and production performances has been developed.

4. The comparison of estimated breeding values (EBVs) of Murrah bulls through different sire evaluation methods, viz. contemporary comparison (CC), least-squares (LS), simple regressed least-squares (SRLS) and best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) for FLMTDMY revealed that . BLUP method is more efficient, accurate and stable with lowest genetic variation.

5. Identified the best temperature humidity index model (THI model) among seven different THI models for analyzing the effect of heat stress on pregnancy rate of 581 Murrah buffaloes in a subtropical climate. A negative association was found between THI and pregnancy rate. THI model [THI = [0.4 × (Tdb + Twb)] × 1.8 + 32 + 15] indicates the maximum decline (-0.761 %) in pregnancy rate with per unit increase in THI value and

41

therefore, identified as the best THI model for studying the effect of heat stress on pregnancy rate of Murrah buffaloes in a subtropical climate.

6. The NDRI centre has produced 19,878 doses of frozen semen during the period. The centre has supplied 7000 doses of frozen semen to other centers. In addition 5824 doses of semen were supplied to NDRI Field Unit, 4060 doses of semen were supplied for different research purpose and 11,966 doses of frozen semen to farmers and other dairy development organizations during the period.

7. The germplasm of genetically superior progeny tested proven bulls are being used on elite cows in organized herds for production of high-pedigreed bulls for further multiplication and production of superior germplasm and establishment of elite herds. Superior semen of proven and high-pedigreed bulls of NDRI center is being used by various dairy development agencies and dairy farmers for bringing genetic improvement of Murrah buffaloes.

8. Bulls for elite mating at the institute herd The breeding programme in the herd was followed for nominated mating using semen of

three Proven Murrah Bulls. About 40 Murrah buffaloes were identified as elite animals. The average lactation milk yield of elite Murrah buffaloes increased to 3173.22 Kg which was 48.89 per cent higher than the herd average. The best lactational milk yield of elite Murrah buffaloes ranged between 2737 Kg in first lactation to 4341 kg. Eighty six daughters and eighty four male calves were born in the herd of which 11 and 9 were elite female and male calves, respectively.

9. Feeding / Reproduction/ Management studies, if any The effects of feeding different energy levels on age at puberty and semen quality in

Murrah buffalo bulls were studied. Three groups ( six animals in each group) were designed with control group ( G-I) fed as per NRC(2001)/ICAR recommendations of feeding of buffalo males, second ( G-II) and third ( G-III) groups were fed as per the control plus 10% and 20 % extra energy, respectively. The average age at first ejaculation in Murrah bulls of G-I, G-II and G-III was found 20.4, 18.4 and 19.3 months, respectively. The scrotal circumference size of Murrah bulls with the corresponding groups was obtained as 23.9, 24.0 and 25.0 cm, respectively. The result revealed that increase of 10 % feed energy level would decrease the semen donation age and increase the semen quality of Murrah bulls. The findings will help to select the Murrah bulls at the early age for progeny testing programme.

10. Gaps/ Constraints, if any The center has not faced any constraints during the period. 11. Future programme 1. The efforts will continue to further reduce the calf mortality, improving the reproduction

and production performance of buffaloes for achieving the targets specified in the project. 2. Research has been initiated for genomic selection of Murrah bulls for reproduction and

production performance. 12. Reasons of continuation in the 12th Plan NDRI contributed significantly for the genetic improvement of Murrah buffaloes in the country.

Herd Performance Herd strength increased from 374 in previous year to 504 in 2014-15, out of which 270 were breedable buffaloes. Number of breeding bull > 2 years are 48 and the bull having dams 305 days or less day milk yield < 2500 kg may be culled off from the herd. During the period 170 calving took place consisting of 84 males, 86 females and 2 still births. The calf mortality (0-3 months) was 11.86 percent (23/194) which is higher than the target. Female conception rate reported as 41.30 percent (152/368). During the report period 19878 semen doses were produced from the 14th & 15th set bulls and 13934 frozen semen doses were consumed /distributed at farm and field. Yearly body weight at different age was not presented in the table 9.11.

Milk production performance viz. Average lactation yield, Lactation length, 305 day or less

day milk yield were 2486.33 kg (n=119), 305 days (n=119) and 2224 kg (n=124), respectively. Age at first calving, Average service period, Average dry period and average calving Interval were 40.39±1.15 months (n=35), 134.71±18.97 days (n=71), 111.45±11.52 days (n=40) and 420.97±18.01 days (n=40). The centre has maintained its reproduction performance over the years. The wet and Herd averages were8.05 kg & 5.10 kg. During the report period 58.05 percent animals were in milk. The centre showed improvement in wet & herd average. 1st time crossed 8 kg and 5 kg barrier in wet and herd average since 1996. Targets achieved during 2014-15 Sr. No. Trait Target Achieved 1. Av.

SALIENT RESEARCH ACHIEVEMENTS: (a) Herd Strength: The opening balance (herd strength) of Murrah buffaloes as on 01/04/2014

was 175 heads (46 males and 129 females). Additions in the herd were due to birth of 29 female and 34 male calves (63 heads). Deletions from the herd were due to death of 4 animals (1 males and 3 females), external transfer of 26 animals (2 females and 24 males) and auction/sale of 35 buffaloes (15 males and 20 females). The male: female ratio of new calvings was 1.17:1.00. The closing balance of the buffalo herd as on 31/03/2015 was 173 buffalo heads (133 females and 40 males, Table 9.1). Out of total 35 animals (10 males and 25 females) culled/sold during the current year due to surplus/off-type/low production, reproductive ground along with weak and old buffaloes.

(b) Mortality (Detailed): The overall mortality per cent was 1.68%. The overall female and

male group mortality percents were 1.89 and 1.25%, respectively. A total of 4 deaths were recorded in IVRI buffalo herd during the current year (1 males and 3 females).

(c) Prophylaxis: The prophylaxis measures taken in the Murrah Buffaloes.

(d) Reproductive Performance: The overall conception rate was 51.96%. The respective figures in heifer and adult groups were 53.12 and 51.42%, respectively. The means for

53

age at first calving, service period, dry period and calving interval were 37.641.33 months, 123.8410.72 days, 162.2716.31 days and 439.4815.97 days, respectively.

(e) Growth performance: The means for overall live body weights at birth, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months of age were 36.57±0.56, 77.34±2.29, 110.26±2.96, 224.69±6.53, 342.86±5.52 and 407.41±8.00 kg, respectively. The respective values for females and males were 34.75±0.72, 76.44±3.96, 108.33±4.27, 227.38±7.63, 342.86±5.52 and 412.80±6.67 kg, respectively and 38.12±0.74, 78.39±1.89, 111.52±4.08, 219.55±12.60 and 340.00±65.00 kg, respectively. Weight at first calving during the current year was 530.56±20.14 kg.

(f) Milk Production Performance: Buffaloes produced 107597 kg milk during the period

under report. Means for overall wet and herd averages were 6.80 and 4.49 kg, respectively. On an average, 65.15% of the total adult females were in the milk during this period. The means for total lactation milk yield, average lactation length, average 305 days’ yield and peak yield were 2188.82±55.81 kg, 288.81±8.02 days, 2135.85±51.77 kg and 10.89±0.31 kg, respectively. The means for fat, SNF and total solid % were 7.87, 9.92 and 17.78%, respectively (based on 636 samples during April-December, 2014).

12. Expected Socio-economic impact in the tract: Surplus Murrah buffaloes along with breeding males have been sold in the public auction to the local dairy farmers. It will not only improve the milk and meat production in the field in the form of Murrah/graded Murrah progenies but will also uplift the socioeconomic status of the dairy farmers of northern India.

13. Constraints (if any): -None- 14. Focus of the work in the coming year:

a. To increase the number of elite buffaloes in the herd. b. To carry out the envisaged technical programme for fulfillment of laid down objectives. c. To distribute superior germ-plasm to the buffalo farmers in field. d. To establish a high yielding nucleus herd of Murrah buffaloes at IVRI Izatnagar.

Herd Performance Herd strength at the centre was 173 including 77 breedable buffaloes. During the report

period 63 calving were reported and calf mortality (0-3 months) was 1.54 % (1/65). Female conception rate was 51.96 % and 14th & 15th set bulls were used for test mating in the herd. Body weights at 24 months 412.80±6.67 (n=25) in female indicate good growth of the animals. Production performance in terms of 305 days or less day milk yield was 2136±51.77 (n=53) kg which was higher than the previous year record of 2038± 62.44 (n=47). Reproductive performance of the centre improved over the years. AFC at the centre was 37.64 ±1.33 (n=18) showing the better heifer management at the centre. Service period, Dry period and Calving Interval were 124±10.72 (n=55), 162.27±16.31 (n=44) and 439.48±15.97 (n=44) respectively. Wet & herd averages improved from the last year and these are reported as 6.80 kg and 4.49 kg, respectively. This improvement is > 1 kg in wet average and 0.90 kg in herd average over 2012-13. Out of 66 animals, 65% animals were in milk during the period.

LUVAS, Hisar 2. Date of start: 1993 3. Objectives: To envisage and undertake progeny testing for improvement of Murrah breed of

buffaloes. Priority and emphasis will be on performance recording and improvement of breed and on semen quality testing laboratory.

4 Technical Program:The technical programme involves testing of 12-15 bulls on about 1000

breedable buffaloes at organized farms participating in this project in every 18-month’s cycle. From each bull 75-80 pregnancies are to be obtained so that 20-25 recorded daughters per bull are available at all the centers for the evaluation of bulls. The bulls will be ranked on the basis of performance of their daughters and 20% of them will be selected as proven bulls from each set. The semen of the proven bulls will be used on elite buffaloes at different centers for the production of future sires and herd replacements.

Salient Research Achievements: The Buffalo Research Centre envisages quantification of

management practices for livestock since 1983, which also envision evaluation of Murrah breed buffaloes and proven sires started from the year 1993. The center has been making steady progress in meeting out the objectives of the Network Project which are reflected in the Animal Progress Report.

11. Expected socio-economic impact in the tract: Breeding bulls will be sold to Panchayats in the field/villages for improvement of Murrah Buffaloes.

12 Focus of work in the coming year: To increase the elite number of buffaloes in the herd To carryout the envisaged technical programme of the project for fulfillment of the laid

down objectives. To establish a high yielding herd of murrah buffaloes. 13 Constraints: Since, the cost of feed ingredients has increased many fold, more budgetary provision

for this centre should be provided. Budget should be provided to hire contractual literate manpower as well as labour to carryout farm work effectively and efficiently. More budget should be provided in Non recurring contingency to Purchase/ installation of a Weigh bridge which is must on the farm. Budget for renovation of old existing animal sheds & for the purchase of a new tractor (as the existing one is pretty old and needs to be disposed off.) should be provided. Some budget should be provided for the installation of showers in animal sheds etc.

Herd Performance Herd strength at the centre was 269 animals with 75 calves were added due to birth. The buffalo herd includes 100 adult buffaloes and 39 heifers (> 2.5 years). During the period of report calf mortality (0-3 months) was 8.23% (7/85). Conception rate during the period was 38.8%.

Average lactation yield, lactation length, 305 or less day milk yield were 2653.4±55.34

(n=62), 300±6.29 (n=62) and 2584±49.45 (n=62) kg. The production performance decline from the last two years performance but still is a good. The reproduction parameters viz Age at first calving, Service Period, Dry Period and Calving Interval were 45.9±1.71 (n=17) months, 116.8±10.92 (n=52) days, 135±9.69 (n=52) days and 425±11.16 (n=52) days respectively. Wet and herd averages were 8.7 kg and 5.6 kg respectively. Cumulative milk yield of eighteen buffaloes > 2500 kg in 1st lactation out of 29 completed.

c. Kisan Mela: -- d. TV Live Phone –in Programmes: Delivered Topics on Buffalo management and

other livestock management in DD, ETV & T News etc. for betterment of Farmers.

12. Expected Socio-economic impact in the tract : 1. In the Progeny-Testing Programme, inseminations of local buffaloes with semen

procured from Hisar, improving the genetic makeup of the calf crop for milk production in the field units, resulting in improvement in economic status of farmers.

2. Improved perennial fodder varieties like Hybrid napier, APBN-1, Co-4 are being distributed to the farmers since inception of this Research Station, which helps in increase in the area of fodder production, milk yield and reducing the cost of milk production at farmer level in Warangal district.

13. Constraints if any :

1. Budget allotment under head RC has to be increased to meet all day to day contingencies, feeding and maintenance of (110) buffaloes and salaries of contractual personnel.

2. Due to less budget under head RC during the year, on request, the University allotted additional budget from state plan funds and accordingly, the excess expenditure incurred for NPBI project (Rs.5,74,128/-) during 2014-15 may be sanctioned in order to remit back to the state plan.

3. Additional posts of (1 No.) Veterinary Assistant and (1 No.) Junior Assistant are to be sanctioned for smooth and effective implementation of the PT programme.

14. Focus of work in the coming year: 1. Performance recording of animals of NPBI. 2. Purchase of elite animals to maintain wet and herd averages of the centre. 3. Selection and training of breeding bulls for field PT programme. 4. Conducting farmer trainings, Animal health camps and Calf rallies to encourage the

farmers under PT programme.

39.00 29.25 29.25 35.30590 11.76863 2.99376 -3.06214 Herd Performance : Herd strength at the centre was 110 animals out of which 60 were

breedable animals. 34 calves born at the centre and no mortality were reported in 0 – 3 months calves but one still birth was reported. A total 48 AI’s were performed and 23 conceived with a conception rate of 47.92%. 305 days or less day milk yield was 1626 kg (n=11), Av. Lactation length was 303 days (n=11), the milk production is low at the centre. Wet & herd average were reported to be 5.90 & 3.36 kg. 57.89% of the animals (22/38) were in milk during the period. Reproductive performance viz. average service period, average dry period and average calving interval for 34 animals were 141 days, 198 days and 462 days respectively. Animals from Venketramanagudem have been shifted. However production needs to be improved.

Target achieved during the year 4/2014 to 3/2015: S. No. Trait Target Achieved 1. Av. Age at first service (months) 24 months (300 kg. B. wt.) - 2. Av. Age at first calving 40 months - 3. Av.

Calf mortality (0-3 months) ≤ 5% Nil 7. Wet average ≥ 8.5 kg 5.90 kg 8. Herd average ≥ 5.5 kg 3.36 kg Recommendations: Breeding bull need to be disposed off to the developmental

agencies/farmers/village panchayat. The centre should concentrate at the farm activity so that elite buffaloes may be reared for bull production. The performance at the farm needs to be improved. Semen from 15th set bulls was collected on 13.08.15 from the semen freezing lab CIRB, Hisar.

Calf mortality (0-3 months) ≤ 5 % 14.29 7. Wet average ≥ 8.5 kg. 3.98 8. Herd average ≥ 4.5 kg. 1.71 10. Research Achievements: Mortality in buffalo farm has reduced to 2.63 per cent in 2014-15 from 8.11 per cent in the year 2013-

14. (Only one calf was died due to congenital blindness and prematurity, out of entire stock in the year 2014-15).

A teaser bull has been developed and trained to detect estrum in female buffaloes which are in heat. Conception rate in buffalo farm has increased to 55.55 per cent in the year 2014-15 as a remarkable

increment from 31.4 per cent in 2013-14. Continuous interventions in reproduction have now brought more animals into normal reproductive status. Buffaloes have been continuously monitored for heat symptoms. Anestrous buffaloes have been given supplementation therapy, chemotherapy and hormonal therapy. Preparation and feeding of own mineral mixture to the buffaloes might have impacted some effect on the reproductive fitness of the buffaloes.

Thermoregulation of their body temperature has been maintained by allowing buffaloes in the newly built wallowing tank.

Efforts are continued to produce green fodder round the yearFeeding of these buffaloes is being managed through own resources and by purchasing the materials from outside. This has been achieved by creating bunds in low lying area and opting for cultivation of Napier Hybrid crosses. A total of 11 plots of approx. 4 ha. are under cultivation of different fodder crops. The fodder crops cultivated are: Berseem and Oat in winter, Jowar and MP Chari during summer and rainy season. Besides, 200 kg to 500 kg of green fodder is being purchased whenever unexpected scarcity arises due to severe water logging and other reasons.

Continuous evaluation of concentrate feed for its proximate principles to ensure the quality of feed being offered to the buffaloes. Concentrate feed required feeding the buffaloes are being continuously purchased from the feed plant of Patna Dairy Project, a cooperative Dairy Milk Union Ltd., under Govt. of Bihar.

Periodic vaccination against FMD, HS&BQ, and regular deworming have been carried out to the project buffaloes.

In order to ensure the cleanliness in the shed even during the period of electricity shut down, the solar operated pump has been installed in the farm to ensure the water availability 24 × 7 hours.

Fat from milking buffaloes are estimated and recorded every fortnight. Recently, ICAR-RCER has also erected two new cattle sheds which can hold around 45 animals.

Herd Performance The herd strength of farm was 37 heads out of which 20 were breedable buffaloes. 6 calves were reported during the year and calf mortality (0-3 months) was 14.29 percent (1/7). Twenty seven AI’s were carried out resulting in ten conceptions with conception rate of 37.04 percent at the centre. Semen doses of 15th set bulls are now being used at the centre.

Av. Lactation yield, Av. Lactation length and 305 or less day milk yield were 2021.48 (n=14),

421.21 (n=14) and 1696.71 (n=14) respectively during the year. The service period dry period and calving interval were 146.3±8.98 days (n=7), 124.9±5.91 days (n=7) and 569.4±14.54 days (n=7) respectively. The wet and herd averages at the centre were very low at 3.98 kg and 1.71 kg respectively. Only 42.98 % buffaloes were in milk.

9.21 Target achieved during the year 2014-15 S. No. Trait Target Achieved 1. Av. Age at first service (months) 24 months (300 kg. B. wt.) - 2. Av. Age at first calving 40 months - 3. Av. Age for initiating training of bulls

(months) 18 months (350 kg. B. wt.) -

4. Av. Age at first collection 30 months (400 kg. B. wt.) - 5. Av. Service period 130 days 146.3±8.98 6. Calf mortality (0-3 months) ≤ 5% 14.29 % 7. Wet average ≥ 8.5 kg 3.98 8. Herd average ≥ 5.5 kg 1.71

Recommendations: Heard strength to be increased to 50 breedable buffaloes at the centre. Production and reproduction performance need to be improved.

Calf mortality (0-3 months) was 0.68 % (1/148) indicating good calf management at the centre. Conception rate was 39.39 % and it need to be improved. 31474 doses of semen produced during 2014-15, 1312 doses used for AI/testing purpose and the centre has sold 23325 frozen semen doses to developmental agencies and farmers. It indicates increased demand of Nili Ravi semen. 305 or less day lactation milk yield was 2384±45.39 kg (n=115) which is 113 kg more than the previous year (2241 kg). This was the highest 305 or less day milk yield since inception. Average lactation length also improved to 303 days from last year (285 days). Reproductive performance at the centre was good. This year Age at first calving, Service Period, Dry Period and Calving Interval were 39.9 (n=36) months, 112±7.89 (n=88) days, 138 (n=88) days and 420 (n=88) days respectively. The wet and herd averages were 8.48 (n=99) and 5.98 (n=140) with 71 % animals in milk. Overall the performance of the centre is good.

Targets achieved during 2014-15 S. No Trait Target Achieved 1. Av. Age at first service (months) 24 months (300 kg. B. wt.) < 24months 2. Av. Age at first calving 40 months 39.90 3. Av. Age for initiating training of bulls

(months) 18 months (350 kg. B. wt.) 20

4. Av. Age at first collection 30 months (400 kg. B. wt.) -- 5. Av. Service period 130 days 112 6. Calf mortality (0-3 months) ≤ 5% 0.68 % 7. Wet average ≥ 8.5 kg 8.48 kg. 8. Herd average ≥ 5.5 kg 5.98 kg.

Recommendations: The semen and bulls to be distributed in the breeding tract of Nili Ravi with the help of AH

Department of Punjab. Semen freezing activity outsourced to ‘A grade’ accredited Nabha Sperm Station of AHD, Punjab through MoU for collaboration in quality semen production.

4. Date of Start : 01/ 04 / 2001 5. Objectives : As per NWP(BI) 6. Technical Program: The technical programme of the project for the year 2014-15 was carried

out as per the approved mandate both at the station as well as in field. Frozen semen doses of seven bulls (6 bulls of set 2) were used at the station as well as in the field in varying numbers. The semen doses of 2nd set of bulls had to be used to meet the demand of the field centres The progress of the station and the field has been presented in the report. Besides Forteen ongoing centres, Dolasa and Ghumali Center had to be closed as the Operter Shifted to Other place. All the breedable females of the station were allotted to new set of Six bulls. They are being breed as per the allotment. Collection and freezing of semen from bulls of set 1 has been discontinued from 2011-12 and frozen semen doses of the new (2nd set) is being used for breeding females., both in field as well as at station. The performance of the station herd has been given in tables 9.1 to 9.21. The overall reproductive performance was satisfactory with respect to fertility, AFC, Service period, Dry period and Calving interval. Targets were fulfilled in terms of Service Period, Wet average and Calf mortality (Table 9.14,9.17.1 & 9.4). Figure for and Herd average is closer to the given target However, the target given for Age at first calving appears to be very high for Jaffrabadi breed

Bottlenecks 1. Sanctioned staff for the project has not been filled since inception.

2. Field AI workers needs to be paid for the data on AI/PD/Milk being collected and supplied to CBF. 3. Field villages are scattered at far distance for which separate staff for monitoring is needed. 4. Allocated funds are insufficient for the project implementation satisfactorily.

Herd Performance Herd strength was 288 heads comprising of 151 breedable buffaloes and 18 breeding bulls. 46 males of 1-2 years age are standing in the herd. Surplus bulls should be immediately disposed off after preliminary selection for next set. 36 calving reported during the report period out of which 16 were females, 19 were males and three one births. Calf mortality (0-3 months) was 2.38 percent (1/42) at the centre. Buffaloes were inseminated with seven bulls and conception rate was 50.43 % (58/115). 46153 semen doses of semen from 12 bulls are available at the centre. During the year 15789 doses of semen were produced and 7142 doses were used in AI in farm and field. Production performance indicated by 305 day or less day milk yield showed improvement in performance i.e. 2095.7 kg (n=37) from 1629.2 kg (n=33) of the year 2013-14. There was improvement in all the reproductive traits viz. AFC 46.60 m (n=5), Service period 140.43 days (n=30), dry period 176.53 days (n=3) and calving interval was 450.43 days (n=30). Only 40.22 percent animals were in milk with 7.38 % wet average and 3.01 % herd average.

Field Unit: 4781 AI’s were performed utilization the semen of 8 bulls in 13 centers/villages. Total 2150 conceptions took place with rate of 50.34 %.

Targets achieved during 2014-15 S. No Trait Target Achieved 1. Av. Age at first service (months) 28 months - 2. Av. Age at first calving 42 months 46.60 months 3. Av. Age for initiating training of bulls (months) 20 months 32 months 4. Av. Age at first collection 32 months 40 months 5. Av. Service period 130 days 140.43 days 6. Calf mortality (0-3 months) ≤ 5% 2.38 7. Wet average ≥ 7.5 kg 7.38 kg. 8. Herd average ≥ 4.0 kg 3.01 kg.

Recommendations: 1. Early selection of male calves for breeding bull to be followed.

2. There are only 40% animals in production during last two years. The production performance needs to be improved.

3. One set should be used for a fixed duration only i.e 24 month cycle. 4. Old bull, born upto 2004 may be disposed off/distributed/ sold. 5. Only one bull from III set used in 2014-15 All the bulls of III set should be used randomly

and in equal proportion. 6. Field recording is very poor. It should be strengthened by engaging contract workers &

provide incentives to the farmers. All the bulls should be used in equal proportion in the field. No of AI per bull to be increased to record 25-30 daughters per bull for progeny testing.

improvement of Pandharpuri breed of buffaloes. Priority and emphasis will be on performance recording and improvement of the breed and on semen quality testing laboratory.

6. Technical Programme : “Network Project on Buffalo Improvement (Pandharpuri)” is being implemented at Zonal Agricultural Research Station (Z. A. R. S.) Shenda Park Kolhapur. Pandharpuri buffaloes of superior genetic potential are maintained on farm for production of test breeding bulls. These breeding bulls are used for production of frozen semen straws in the semen freezing laboratory of the project. From each bull 8-10 thousand production of semen straws is the target. These semen straws are used for inseminations in field for Pandharpuri and non-descript buffaloes. Daughters are expected to be recorded from each bull for evaluation of Sire. About 3.69 lakhs semen straws from 48 bulls have been freezed and about 2.51 lakhs semen straws are utilized in field for insemination.

Herd strength increased to 77 head from 66 in 2013-14. The breedable herd size 34. Thirteen calving (7 male, 4 females and 2 still births) were reported during the period. The calf mortality (0-3 months) was 5.88 percent (1/17). At the farm AI was performed utilizing semen of 8 bulls with the conception rate of 53.33 (16/30) percent, which is quite good. During the period 37860 semen doses were produced and 18380 doses from IVth set and Vth set of bulls were used in the field. 1,17,925 semen doses available at the centre. Production Performance: The 305 day or less day milk yield 141.34 kg (n=12). The reproductive parameters viz AFC, Service period, Dry period and Calving interval were 44.32 months (n=2), 109 days (n=10), 108 days (n=10) and 429 days (n=10) respectively. The centre is sustaining the reproductive performance over the years. The wet and herd averages were 4.57 kg and 2.12 kg, respectively and only 33.00 percent buffaloes were in milk this year compare to about 60% in milk during previous year. Field Unit: 4329 AI’s were performed at 9 centers of Kolhapur, Solapur and Belgaum districts. For these AI’s semen from Vth set of bulls were used. A total of 2104 conceptions took place with the conception rate of 48.60 % (2104/4329) and 641 male 524 female progenies born. 244 live female progenies of 0-6 m, 219 of 6-12 months and 433 progenies of 1-3 years and 737 progenies of >3years are standing in the field in three districts for future recording. 425 daughters of 8 bulls of 1st set, 141 daughters of 8 bulls of 2nd set and 32 daughters of 4 bulls of (out of six bulls of the set) 3rd set completely recorded. 9.22 Target achieved during the 04/2014 to 03-2015 Sr. No. Trait Target Achieved

Recommendations: A breedable herd of 50 animals to be maintained so that superior male calves may be

produced from the breeding purpose. Emphasis is to be given on daughter recording in the field budgetary provision of FPT has been made. 25 bulls are standing in herd. The surplus bulls should be disposed off immediately by auction/ sale to progressive farmers/panchayat/developmental agency as per SAU’s norm’s etc.

ASSAM AGRACULTURAL UNIVERSITY, KHANAPARA 1. Name of Centre : Assam Agricultural University, Khanapara, Guwahati. 2. Project code : F.No.18-3/97-ASR II 3. Project Title : Performance recording and improvement of Swamp Buffalo 4. Date of start : 3rd September’2001. 5. Objectives : Specified 6. Technical programme : The buffaloes of Assam are predominantly either swamp or swamp type. The production potentialities of these buffaloes are very less as compared to the riverine buffaloes although their fat percentage is very high. Milk production is considered to be subsidiary occupation. They are mostly used as draught animal. Absence of AI and non availability of good breeding bulls in the state posed as hindrance for genetic improvement.

The prime objective of this scheme is conservation and to bring in genetic improvement of Swamp buffaloes at the existing University farm as well as the private sectors and voluntary organizations. However, the project should also give more emphasis on growth parameters so that buffaloes can be used as better meat animals than milk. This requires a good number of breeding bulls of known genetic merit. Effort will be made under the project to produce some of the breeding bull with comparable performances which will be distributed in the field to be used through natural services for genetic improvement.

It is thus proposed to take up a programme on the following lines: A herd comprised of 50 numbers of breedable female buffaloes will be established. The females will be selected based on dam’s milk yield, individual phenotypic merit, conformation to the breed etc. At the same time 5 numbers of breeding bulls will also be maintained in the project. In addition to the present breeding bulls available at the farm, additional young bulls from elite dams of the private owners shall be procured. They will be selected at the age of 2 to 2.5 years of age based on dam’s milk, growth rate, body conformation etc. Each bull will be used randomly for breeding the females in estrus in the farm either through AI/ natural services. They shall be used over a cycle of 1.5 years. The breeding bull will be replaced after 1.5 to 2 years of their services either from the farm breed males based on the performances or procurement from the field. They will be trained for semen donation if not already trained. The male calves from elite dams both at the farm as well as in the field shall be given due emphasis on typical breed characters, conformation, freezability and dams' production, selected and reared after weaning as future test sires at the university farm. Subsequently 2-3 bulls/young bull calves from superior germplasm shall be purchased every year from farmers’ herds to make up the set of at least 5-6 bulls.

The best performing females in terms of production and reproduction will be retained to replace the earlier stock so as the maintain herd strength and genetic improvement of the stock. The male calves born will also be reared to develop a meat line based on growth, performances from birth to market age. The parameter on growth will be recorded. Specific feeding regime for developing meat type buffalos will be followed for augmenting growth of the male buffalo calves. 7. Financial statement: Year 2013-14 (Provisional) Item/Head Grants (Rs.)

12. Expected socio-economic impact in the tract: The swamp buffaloes of Assam play a very important role in the socio-economic as

well as socio-cultural life of the people of Assam. It has got its important social values other than its long time use as draft animals in various agricultural operations as well as producer of quality milk with high fat percentage.

Because of the service rendered to the farmers from the project in the way of providing free vaccination cum treatments to their buffaloes, organization of welfare camp, distribution of breeding bulls they have now shown great interest about buffalo rearing and more and more people are coming forward for advise as well as training.

Therefore, it is expected that the present project will certainly help in genetic improvement of the swamp buffaloes of Assam by way of supplying breeding bulls of high genetic merit, providing other health care and thereby increasing the milk production. This would simultaneously help in economic upliftment of the farming community.

13. Constraints if any: (i) Fund allotted under recurring contingency during 2014-15 was less which needs to be enhanced.

(ii) Additional fund for pay of the RA should be given in the Contingency. (iii) Provision of fund under Non-recurring should be made for civil works and purchase of

animals as fund allotted under these heads during 2014-15 was not released. 14. Brief work plan for the year 2015-16: To increase the herd strength by purchasing new animals that is true to the breed type. To develop meat type swamp buffaloes. To replace the swamp type buffaloes gradually from the farm. To produce quality breeding bulls in the farm. Distribution of surplus breeding bulls in the field will be made. To increase the production and reproductive performances.

Herd Performance Herd strength at the centre was 71 heads, having 41 breedable females. Fourteen calving were reported during the year (6 male and 8 female), calf mortality (0-3 months) was 14.28% (2/14). Six breeding bulls were used for 20 inseminations at the farm. 12 buffaloes conceived with a conception rate of 60.00%. No of breeding bulls at the centre were eight. 2615 doses of semen produced from the seven bulls during the period. Only 71 doses were used / supplied and 4330 doses are available at the centre. 305 or less day milk yield was 301.0 kg (n= 1) and age at first calving, service period, dry period and calving interval were 63.33 month, 458.33 days, 255.67 days and 774.17 days respectively. The reproductive performance declined at the centre. Wet & herd averages were 0.70 and 0.21 lt, respectively. This is lowest since inception.

LIVESTOCK RESEARCH STATION, VALLABHNAGAR 1. Name of center : Livestock Research Station ,Vallabhnagar RAJVASU, Bikaner. 2. Project Code : 3. Project Title : Network Project on Buffalo Improvement 4. Date of start : 01-04-2001 5. Objectives : The objective of the project is to envisage and undertake progeny

testing for improvement of Surti breed of buffaloes. Priority and emphasis will be on performance recording and improvement of the breed and on semen quality testing laboratory.

6. Technical Programme The prime objective of this scheme is to bring in genetic improvement in Surti buffaloes

at the existing University farm as well as at the private sector and voluntary organizations. This requires a good number of bulls of known merit, which are produced in the farm and are identified in the field for rearing at the farm and to be included into the Progeny Testing program. 6.1 Breeding herd at University Farm: An elite herd of 30 buffaloes was initially

proposed in the project. The male calves from elite dams both at the farm as well as in the field are given due emphasis on typical breed characters, conformation, freezability and dams production. Selected bull calves are reared after weaning as future test bulls at the university farm. Subsequently 2-3 bulls/young bull calves from superior germplasm can be purchased every year from farmers’ animals to make up the set at least 8-10 bull of 18-24 months duration.

6.2 Breeding : On persuasions for AI to the farmers, the frozen semen will be used on at least 3000 breedable females, covered under the programme.

(a) Information recorded: On the farmer (for quantification of management system) Occupation and education of the farmer, Land holding and area devoted to fodder production, Number of animals, age and species wise, Housing system and Management stall feeding or grazing Identification of animals.

(b) On animals: Data on mates Lactation number, Date of A.I., Date of conception, Date of calving, Sex of calf, Test days milk yield at monthly intervals and Fat percentage in milk in 2nd, 5th and 8th month of lactation. Data of Progeny: Date of birth, Pedigree of the animal, Date of insemination, Date of conception, Date of calving, Milk production at monthly intervals, Fat percentage in milk in 2nd, 5th and 8th month of lactation, Quantity and type of fodder at monthly interval, Quantity and type of concentrate at monthly interval.

6.3 System of milk recording: Milk recording is done by milk recorders at monthly interval in test progenies and in dams of the progenies and bull mothers etc., both in morning and evening. At least one milk recording on each test progeny is supervised by a senior staff. Milk records are compiled by the milk recorders and sent to the executing centre.

6.4 Insemination, pregnancy diagnosis and identification: All the breedable females are bred through AI from semen obtained from the identified bull in the project by the trained technician of the university, state department and/ or lay inseminators in the field trained for the purpose. Proper record of AI, PD and calves born are maintained at the centers. Each animal entering this project is registered.

calves were born during the period and 0 – 3 months calf mortality was 15.56 %. Male calves of > 2years were 22 at the farm.The female conception rate was 38.8 percent at the farm. During the report period 10370 semen doses were produced from VI & VII set of bulls and 2169 doses of semen from these set bulls were used in field. 38644 frozen semen doses is available in stock.

Production performance Average lactation yield and 305 or less day lactation yield were 1493±54 kg and 1444±61 kg, respectively. Age at first calving, Service Period, Dry Period and calving Interval were 47.01±2.49 months, 162.28±18.74 days, 177.2±35.07 days and 445.9±33.71 days respectively. All the reproductive parameter showed –ve growth during 2014-15 from previous year. 68.77 % animals were in milk with the wet & herd averages of 4.69 kg and 3.22 kg during the 2014-15 the corresponding values for previous years were 5.11 kg and 3.25 kg, respectively.

Field Unit Total 1534 AI’s from 7 bulls were performed at 6 field centers having 4476 registered females. Total 455

buffaloes conceived and 409 calving took place. 56 live female progenies of 0-6 month, 68 of 6-12 months 185 of 1-3 years and 138 progenies of > 3 years was available at field unit centers. Milk recording of the first lactation daughter yield is going on at the different centers and 22 daughter completed recording during the year.

Recommendations: 58 males more than 1 year age are at the farm, after early selection surplus males should be distributed/

disposed off at earliest. Young breeding male from dam’s having < 1700 kg in 305 or less day best lactation yield not to be reared for breeding purpose. Field recording should be strengthened by engaging contract workers & provide incentives to the farmers. All the bulls should be used in equal proportion in the field. No of AI per bull to be increased to record 25-30 daughters per bull for progeny testing.

ICAR-INDIAN GRASSLAND AND FODDER RESEARCH INSTITUTE, JHANSI 1. Name of Centre : IGFRI, Jhansi 2. Project Code : 2000000001 3. Project Title : Performance recording and improvement of Bhadawari Buffaloes 4. Date of Start : 1.04.2001 5. Objectives : To undertake genetic improvement and conservation of

Bhadawari buffaloes. 6. Technical Program: As per the envisaged technical program of Network project on Buffaloes. A herd of 60-75 breedable females of Bhadawari buffaloes are to be maintained under the project. Selection criteria for elite buffaloes will be at least 1500 kg best lactation yield. The herd will be used for production of superior males. Males selected (68 numbers) as bull will be used for breeding in the herd as well as in the field through AI. Semen from each of these bulls is to be frozen. To increase the population of Bhadawari buffaloes in the field, frozen semen will be used for breeding in the field. Help of the state Govt. of UP and MP and some other organizations will be sought for distribution and use of Bhadawari semen in the field. Daughter’s performance is expected to be recorded from each bull for evaluation of the sires. It is also envisaged to record behavioral aspects for developing optimum management practices as well as information on nutritional aspects for utilizing locally available feed resources available in the semiarid region. Breeding bulls: Initially elite bulls will be provided from the field for elite mating till the first set of bulls is evaluated. Each set of 8 bulls be selected from the males born out of elite mating /procured from field. Bulls will be selected on the basis of Dam’s milk production/reproduction traits and breed characteristics. 7. Financial statement: Statement showing budget received and amount spent during the period 1.04.2014 to 31.03.2015.

9 male calves and 4 females were sold to farmers through auction. Cryopreservation of semen form selected bulls was done for it use in field and farm herd for artificial insemination. 2800 semen doses were sold to lay inseminators for AI in Agra district. 635 calvings were recorded in the field from the AI done during the year 201314. Conception rate in the field was recorded as 49.38 percent. Artificial insemination in the Bhadawarti breeding tract was continued during the year 2014-15. A total of 3177 artificial inseminations were performed in Etawah, Agra, Jalaun, Jhansi, Auraiya, Lalitpur and Banda districts.

11. Publications: Research papers published in journals : 2 Presentations in conference/symposia/seminars/other form : 3

12. Expected Socioeconomic impact in the tract: Activities of the project is creating awareness among the farmers about the Bhadawari buffaloes and farmers are coming forward to purchase the Bhadawari animals for rearing purpose during auction.

13. Constraints if any : Erratic supply of electricity as well as liquid nitrogen (LN2) availability is one the constraints in semen freezing.

14. Focus of work in the coming year: Semen freezing will be continued. Artificial insemination in the breeding tract will be continued. Efforts will be made to disseminate Bhadawari germplasm through sale of frozen semen/ breeding bulls to various agencies for their use in the field.

Semen of two bulls were used for AI purpose at the farm. 7870 doses of semen were produced from three bulls and 7138 doses were used/ supplied for AI purpose in the field. Average lactation yield, lactation length and 305 or less day milk yield were 1638.8 (n=21) kg, 367 (n=21) days and 1478.3 (n=21) kg, respectively during the report period. Average service period was 182.3 days and Age at first calving was 54 months. These two values are higher than the target fixed. 63.6 % animals were in the milk with wet average 4.22 kg and herd average of 2.50 kg. 9 male calves and 2800 frozen semen doses were disseminated to farmers. A total of 2236 AIs in 2013-14 and 3177 AI’s in 14-15 were performed in Etawh, Agra, Jalaun, Jhansi, Auriya, Lalitpur & Banda districts. 635 calving took place in the field.

NETWORK PROJECT ON BUFFALO IMPROVEMENT (FIELD UNITS)

Participating Units : 1. CIRB, Hisar 2. GADVASU, Ludhiana 3. NDRI, Karnal Date of start : 2001 INTRODUCTION: Murrah is most important breed among milch buffaloes which draws maximum

demand of its germplasm in the country. But the problem of non-availability of genetically superior and progeny tested bulls is acute to meet ever increasing demand for improvement of the country buffaloes. It is, therefore, essential to develop superior germplasm and test them efficiently on large organized herds as well as the ones available with the farmers. Progeny testing under institutional and field conditions besides providing superior bulls for use in developmental programme, helps in developing elite breeding herds. Buffalo herds available with various research institutions and those managed by the state/central government developmental agencies are too small in size to independently implement a worthwhile progeny testing programme for even a moderately accurate evaluation of bulls. It is more desirable to evaluate the bulls on the basis of their progeny performance raised in different environments at various associated organized as well as at the farmers herds.

OBJECTIVES: To strengthen the on going sire evaluation programme of associated herd progeny testing

by including field performance recording of the daughters of test bulls.

FIELD UNIT: CIRB HISAR The use of semen of test bulls under Network Project on Buffalo Improvement on

approximately 4100 buffaloes in ten adopted villages of CIRB Hisar is to be undertaken. This has to be followed by pregnancy diagnosis, calving of buffaloes and follow up of progenies till the completion of first lactation milk records on the basis of monthly test day records. Data on different aspects shall be recorded as per specified format. A total of 4129 artificial inseminations were done in ten adopted villages with the semen of 6 test bulls of 14th set and 15 bulls of 15th set during April 2014 to March 2015. The use of 15th set was initiated from July 2014. The conception rate in the field was worked out to be 52.75%. In this period 1993 pregnancies were confirmed and 1093 calving (565 males, 528 females) were recorded. Ninety three progenies, 1 of 10th, 39 of 11th, 52 of 12th and 1 of 13th set were also calved and the monthly test day milk recordings are in progress. The average age at first calving for these 93 daughters calved was 42.20 months. During the year, the monthly test day milk yield was recorded for 138 daughters, out of which 52 daughters completed the lactation, 20 daughters sold before the lactation was completed and recording of 66 daughters

194

are in progress. The physical identification using injectable microchips has been done in all female progenies born in the field. As on 31st March 2015 a total of 904 female progenies of 11th to 14th set are available in the field for future milk recordings, out of which 289, 546 and 69 daughters were less than 1 year, 1 to 3 years and more than three years, respectively.

11.52580 11.52580 11.52580 11.52580 -- A total of 4129 artificial inseminations were performed in ten adopted villages with the semen of 6 test bulls of 14th set and 15 bulls of 15th set with conception rate 52.75 % (1993/4129). In this period 1993 pregnancies were confirmed and 1093 calving (565 males, 528 females) were recorded. Ninety three progenies, 1 of 10th, 39 of 11th, 52 of 12th and 1 of 13th set were also calved and the monthly test day milk recordings are in progress. The average age at first calving for these 93 daughters calved was 42.20 months. Milk recording of 52 daughters completed, 20 daughters sold before the lactation was completed and recording of 66 daughters are in progress. The physical identification using injectable microchips has been done in all female progenies born in the field. As on 31st March 2015 a total of 904 female progenies of 11th to 14th set are available in the field for future milk recordings, out of which 289, 546 and 69 daughters were less than 1 year, 1 to 3 years and more than three years, respectively. Recommendations: Follow up action be taken to record maximum no daughters’ first lactation milk yield for PT. Incentives to the livestock owner may be provided for getting the more daughters recorded on

test day milk of 1st lactation.

Overall 2919 females were registered in the field. Total 8316 AI’s were performed in the field using one bull of 13th set (only for AI), 8 bulls of 14th set and all 15 bulls of 15th set. 3810 buffalos conceived and 2958 calving took place during the period out of which 1447 were female. At various centres live female progenies of different age groups viz. 0 to < 6 months, > 6 to < 12 months, > 1 to < 3 year and > 3 years were 89, 231, 1313 and 1286 heads, respectively. Overall 65397 AI’s were performed resulting in 25101 progenies with the conception rate of 38.4 percent. 17140 calving were recorded out of which 8043 were female. 156 daughters calved during the year and 90 daughter recorded in 2014-15. AFC in the field reduced from 56.1 month (2002-03) to 43.3 months. 2533 daughters are still available for recording. Recommendations: Care should be taken to use all set bulls simultaneously and in equal numbers for AI

at the field. Three bulls of NDRI (6139, 6290, 6405) and all the bulls of GADVASU of 15th set should be used for more upto December to produced approximately equal number of daughters from each bull of the set. Follow up for the AI should be done to record more no of daughter per bull.

FIELD UNIT: NDRI, KARNAL

Research Achievements : A total of 3941 AI were performed in Murrah Buffaloes under field conditions during 2014-15 and as a result 51.58 % conception rate was obtained. The highest conception rate was observed in the month of Jan (56.48 %) and the lowest was in the month of Feb (49.69%). Across the villages, the highest conception rate was observed in Rindal (55.41%) and lowest was observed in the village Manglora (46.48%). A total of 1860 (955 male and 905 female) Murrah buffalo calves were born in the farmers’ herds and performance data on 183 daughters have been recorded for evaluation of bulls under field conditions. The total herd strength of registered females and the breedable females at different centers was 5988 and 4495 respectively. As many as 15 breeding bulls belonging to the 14th & 15th set were used for AI during the year. F 1.

ACTION PLAN FOR 2015 - 16 In order to bring more number of animals under the AI coverage and to retain most of the female progeny up to the completion of their first lactation, more farms in the vicinity of project area having relatively large herd size (5-15 breedable buffaloes) will be identified and included in the project. Efforts shall be made to improve the conception rate by balanced feeding through supplementation of mineral mixture offered to farmers as an incentive and by timely heat detection and proper time AI. The work of identification of progeny born in the field by ear tagging will continue and the progenies born will be properly identified. The farmers whose herds have been included in the project will be motivated through the provision of various incentives like offering of various technical inputs, treatment of infertile buffaloes, veterinary first aid, calf rallies for active participation in the performance recording and progeny testing programme. Necessary provision of funds for above activities should be made. The performance recording in terms of monthly recording of milk yield of the daughters and their dams shall continue. Finally the data generated on AI’s, conception rate, milk production and performance traits will be supplied to coordinating unit for analysis by employing suitable statistical tools. The elite buffaloes will be identified and mated with proven bulls for production of young bulls. There is need to develop modalities for procuring such superior young male calves for future breeding and providing necessary funds for procuring males.




14.40 14.40 14.40 9.07399 -- 5.32601 A total of 3941 AI were performed in Murrah Buffaloes under field conditions during

2014-15 and as a result 51.58 % conception rate was obtained. The highest conception rate was observed in the month of Jan (56.48 %) and the lowest was in the month of Feb (49.69%). Across the villages, the highest conception rate was observed in Rindal (55.41%) and lowest was observed in the village Manglora (46.48%). A total of 1860 (955 male and 905 female) Murrah buffalo calves were born in the farmers’ herds and performance data on 183 daughters have been recorded for evaluation of bulls under field conditions. The total herd strength of registered females and the breedable females at different centers was 5988 and 4495 respectively. As many as 15 breeding bulls belonging to the 14th & 15th set were used for AI during the year.

Recommendations: Effort should be made to use all bulls simultaneously and in equal numbers for AI from each bull of the set for obtaining equal progenies. For retrieval of records from the farmers incentives should be given to the farmers & AI workers.

BULL CERTIFICATION LABORATORY, CIRB HISAR

Name of Project : Network project on Buffalo Improvement Name of the centre : Bull Certification laboratory, CIRB, Hisar Scheme code : 183/97, ASR dated 29.3.2001 PI : Dr S Khanna

Technical Programme : Screening of buffalo breeding bulls for the following infectious diseases: Tuberculosis Johnin Disease Brucellosis IBRT Leptospirosis Campylobacteriosis Trichomoniasis

The bulls are tested for the above mentioned diseases prior to entry into breeding programme. Targets : Bull certification Laboratory was established Network Project on Buffaloes with the

objective of health evaluation of male germ plasm and prevent the transmission of pathogenic transmission of microorganism through frozen semen and artificial insemination. Screening of XIIIth set of breeding bulls and future breeding bulls from XIVth set for the infectious Diseases viz. Tuberculosis, Johnin Disease, Brucellosis, IBRT, Leptospirosis, Campylobacteriosis and Trichomoniasis as per protocols as under:

Bulls to be tested for Test applied Tuberculosis Intradermal tuberculin, delayed hypersensitivity Johnin Disease Intradermal johnin, delayed hypersensitivity Brucellosis RBPT, Dot ELISA IBRT Dot ELISA Leptospirosis Dot ELISA Campylobacteriosis Microscopy, Agent identification Trichomoniasis Microscopy, Agent identification

During the period under report buffalo breeding bulls and future breeding bulls (Murrah), Nili Ravi bulls(Sub Campus Nabha), experimental males reared at CIRB Hisar, Farmer’s bulls and bulls spotted for purchase for CIRB Hisar were screened for various diseases as per MSP protocol. Out of 25 animals screened for Tuberculosis and Johnin diseases none was found reactive. Two out of 127 males (1.57 %) were found positive for brucellosis as tested by RBPT and ELISA .Out of 37 animals tested for detection and estimation of BHVI (causative agent of IBR) antibodies, 7 animal (18.97%) were found +ve using commercially available ELISA kit. Semen from these bulls was also got tested for presence of virus by RTPCR and all the samples were found –ve. Prepucial washings and smegma from 15 bulls were found negative for Campylobacteriosis fetus vuneralis and Trichomonas.

234

In addition to above, samples from the institute’s herd and other centers under Network are also received for testing against above mentioned diseases.

During the period, bulls of Murrah, NiliRavi breed and bulls of farmers were tested for

various diseases i.e. Tuberculosis, Johnin Disease, Brucellosis, IBRT, Leptospirosis, Campylobacteriosis and Trichomoniasis. In addition, experimental animals from CIRB, bulls spotted for purchase were also tested.

Recommendation:

1. All the animals of different participating herds be tested and evaluated periodically to Ensure disease free semen production and availability.

2. The laboratory should also ensure that all the centres are producing disease free frozen semen as per MSP
