National Livestock Mission: Establishment of State Semen Bank
About National Livestock Mission: Establishment of State Semen Bank
Since its Financial Year 2014-15 launch, the “National Livestock Mission” — run by the Department of Animal Husbandry & Dairying, Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying — has worked toward creating jobs, building entrepreneurship, and lifting per-animal productivity to raise output of meat, goat milk, eggs, and wool. Whatever surplus results, once domestic needs are met, can then boost export earnings. At heart, NLM is about growing entrepreneurs who forge forward and backward linkages, bringing produce from the unorganised sector into the organised one.
“Establishment of State Semen Bank (Genetic Improvement of Sheep and Goat breeds)” sits within the “Sub-mission on Breed Development of Livestock and Poultry” under NLM, aiming to genetically improve sheep and goat breeds via selective breeding — propagating superior male germplasm through artificial insemination. Rolling out AI technology for goats using frozen semen calls for a state-level storage depot to keep supplying goat frozen semen onward to AI centres. Since the existing State Semen Bank already stores cattle and buffalo frozen semen, it can double as the goat semen bank too — hence this one-time assistance to strengthen it with the equipment and storage containers needed for goat frozen semen.
