The efforts are made toward collection of all cattle breeds from Maharashtra State. This is the first effort in the history of University to have such wide range of indigenous and exotic cattle breeds. This will serve the purpose of teaching, research and extension activities practically. The breeds are purchased from various (native) places directly from Govt. farms and farmers of different regions, with the aim to collect quality animals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Various indigenous breeds maintained at Farm

2. Conservation and multiplication of indigenous cattle germplasm<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
 A I Facility<\/span><\/p>\n

To maintain the pure germplasm of various Indigenous and exotic breeds of cattle, it is necessary to apply artificial insemination technique. Semen straws for different breeds available in this department were purchased from various sources, Nitrogen cylinder and other necessary equipments are also made available within this Department. The resultant success in maintaining purity reaches in pregnancy of 39 cattles of different pure breeds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since purchasing of above indigenous cattle breeds in the year 2005-06, the cattles were maintained with care of feeding, breeding management to maintain pure line A.I. is being carried out regularly with pure semen of proven bulls maintained at BAIF Urulikanchan and State Govt. farms. At present this department is having (33) calves consisting of Khillar (1), Dangi (2), Sahiwal (1), Deoni (2), Red Kandhar (3), Gir (2), Gaolao (6), Tharparkar (1), Kankrej (1), Crossbred (14)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

The department has 44.14 ha land for growing different forage crops for research and green fodder production. Various perennial and seasonal fodder crops are grown on 28.50 ha i.e. Hy. Napier, Yeshwant, Guinea, Maize, Jowar, Stylo. Berseem, Lucern and Oat. Irrigation facilities are available on 5.20 ha land and Anjan trees are planted on 1.18 ha land.<\/span><\/p>\n
