NETWORK PROJECT ON BUFFALO IMPROVEMENT
Annual Report 2012 – 2013
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 centres.
During the VIIIth
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. 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.
During the IXth
Five Year Plan, the scope of Network Project was extended to
undertake performance evaluation and improvement of various important breeds of buffaloes
available in different parts of the country for which centers were located at SAU’s and ICAR
institutions. The breeds covered during the IXth
plan were Jaffarabadi, Nili Ravi, Surti,
Bhadawari, Pandharpuri, Godavari and Swamp buffaloes. Field Units for Murrah buffaloes
and a Health Control and Semen Testing Laboratory was also established. These centers
started functioning during 2001.
During the XIth
Five Year Plan, EFC of the project was approved with all the existing
centers to continue. Three new centres approved during the XIth plan namely KAU
Mannuthy, SVVU Anthergoan and ICAR Research Complex, Patna all for Murrah breed.
Murrah centres at LLRUVAS, Hisar and NDAUT, Faizabad were closed down as per the
council’s approval and both the centres of SVVU were merged together and now it will
function from Mamnoor from 1st April 2012.
In the XIIth
Five Year Plan started in 2012-13 and it will countinue upto 2017. All the
seven breed centres are participating in the improvenment programme of buffalo. The ICAR
RC for Eastern Region, Patna was discountinued form April 2012 due non-performance. The
emphasis was given to strengthening the field units.

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; SVVU, 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.

Research Acievement:
Herd Strength: The herd strength of Murrah buffalo is given in table 9.1. During the period 115 calves
were added due to birth and with purchased buffaloes. Total 26 (5 males and 21 females) animals of
different age groups were sale and auction in 201-13. In March 2013, the herd strength was 557, which
included 197 adult buffaloes, 104 suckling calves (< 1 year),169 young males and females ( 1-2.5
years), 74 heifers (> 2.5 years) and breeding males 13 (>2 years).
Mortality: The overall calf mortality was observed 5.92 percent (females: 7.79 and males 4.00 percent).
The overall herd mortality in CIRB farm during 2012-13 was reported 3.16 percent.
Milk Production Performance: The overall wet average and herd average were reported 7.74 and 4.76 kg,
respectively, during the year under report. The overall 305 days lactation milk yield and total lactation
milk yield during 2012-13 was reported 2335 and 2478 kg, respectively. The average peak yield
(11.23 kg.) during the year was higher than the previous year peak yield (12.29 kg).
Reproductive Performance: The overall conception rate was reported 45.75 during January to March
2013. The other reproductive traits Viz. Age at first calving, service period and calving interval were
observed 44.48 months, 174 days, and 481 days, respectively. Significant reduction was reported in
AFC as compared to last year performance (51.91 months).
Semen Production and Dissemination:A total 63857 semen doses frozen at CIRB Lab. and 1250 doses
received from other centers during 1st April 2012 to 31st March, 2013. A total of 13,188 doses of
frozen semen were supply to different agencies and 80,081 doses were sold during the period under
report. At the end of year the closing balance of frozen semen doses was 2, 15, 528.
10. Salient Research Achievements:
I. The overall wet average and herd average were reported 7.74 and 4.76 kg, respectively.
II. The overall 305 days lactation milk yield and total lactation milk yield was reported 2335
and 2478 kg, respectively.
III. The average peak yield (11.23 kg.) during the year 2012-13.
IV. The overall conception rate during the period under report was 45.75 percent.
V. The overall calf mortality during the year 2012-13 was reported 5.92 %.
VI. A total 63,857 semen doses frozen at the semen freezing Lab during 1st April 2012 to 31st
March, 2013. A total of 80.081 semen doses were sold during the period under report. At the
end of year the closing balance of frozen semen doses was 2,17,528.

Herd Performance
Herd strength was 557 animals as against 490 in the previous year and breedable stock
increased to 271 animals against previous year 247 animals.
Percent calf mortality (0-3 months) in female and male calves reported as 7.79 and 4.00 %
(overall 5.92%).
Female conception rate was reported 45.75 %, which is slightly lower than the previous year
value (47.66%).
Body weight records were not presented
305 days lactation milk yield was 2335 kg. The milk yield has improved since 2008-09 and it
crossed 2300 Kg in 11-12.
Annual averages for daily wet and herd averages were 7.74 and 4.76 kg, respectively.
Age at first calving remarkable reduced to 44.48 months from 51.91 months (2011-12) and
other reproductive traits showed slight improvement during the period. The service period,
dry period and calving interval were 174 days, 153 days and 481 days against previous years’
values of 181, 155 and 485 days, respectively.
30 daughters completed their first lactation 305 days or less milk.
Bull Performance:
During the period 63857 doses of semen produced. 93494 doses frozen semen of progeny
tested and other bulls were sold to various development agencies and farmers.
7 superior males were sold to farmers and other agencies.
Achievements of Target
Sr. No. Trait Target Achieved (2012-13)
1. Av. age at first calving 40 months (400 kg B. wt.) 44.48 months
2. Av. age at first collection 30 months -
3. Av. service period 130 days 174 days
4. Calf mortality (0-3 mths) Less than 8% 5.92 %
5. Wet average >= 8.0 kg 7.74 kg

10. Salient Research Achievements including survey reports/farmers animals covered in the project:
Three buffalo bulls of GADVASU have been included in the 14th set of the project.
One bull M1994 of 9th set ranked first among all the progeny tested bulls.
The average age at first collection of the bulls at the institute was 26.0 months.
The average 305-day yield of the herd was 2528 kg and wet average of 7.74 kg and herd average of 4.90
kg was achieved during the period 4/2012 to 3/2013.
Effect of early calf hood nutrition on growth performance: Early maturity is the key to reduce non-
producing time of the animal. During first four months, the number of milk secretary cells in udder
increases, which depends on the nutrition. At the University farm calf starter having 80% TDN and 20%
CP with adequate minerals, vitamins, and probiotic were fed ad Libitum from 7 day onwards along with
3 kg milk/day. During first 40 days of age only calf starter and milk were given and roughage (green
fodder) is added only after 40 days of age. The calf starter was continued upto 4 months of age. This
early nutritional intervention helped in increasing in weight from 183.75 kg (2011-12) to 222.56 kg
(2012-13) in females at 12 months of age that might be reflected in reduction in age at first calving.
Similarly, in males the body weight increased from 209.5 kg (2011-12) to 262.0 kg (2012-13).
Effect of various reproduction interventions on conception rate of Murrah buffaloes: Introduction of
recent estrus synchronization protocols, ultrasound examinations of individual animals’ genitalia and
strategies to enhance involution of uterus during post partum period has improved the conception rate of
the herd from 34.25% (2011-12) to 49.6% (2012-13).
11. Publications: -
12. Expected Socio-economic impact in the tract :There is tremendous demand for buffalo bulls/bull
calves from Ludhiana Centre. 11 surplus buffalo bull caves/ bulls were sold to farmers during this year
2012-13. To date 709 buffalo males have been given to farmers, Animal Husbandry Department of
Punjab and other dairy development agencies of the state. During the year 60,108 doses of semen and
fresh semen were supplied/sold to farmers and other dairy development agencies. The demonstration of
outstanding bulls, buffaloes and heifers to farmers during two Kisan Mela’s in a year and visit of large
number of dairy farmers to University dairy farm have created lot of awareness among farmers in rearing
genetically superior buffaloes. The number of herds with more than 50 milking buffaloes is increasing in
the state leading to increased demand for breeding buffalo bulls. Supply of bulls/calves/semen and know
how have lead to awareness of farmers and they have started rearing animals on commercial scale which
had lead to increase in milk yield in the state.
13. Constraints if any : Regular staff like beldars, supervisors and milk recorders has been reduced in
strength in the project which is causing working problems at the Dairy farm.
14. Focus of work in the coming year: Efforts are being made to improve the growth rate and reproductive
efficiency of the buffalo herd.

Herd Performance
Total herd strength was 277 animals having 139 breedable buffalos and 89 calving recorded during
the period.
Percent calf mortality (0-3 months) in female and male calves has reported as 8.00 %, female
mortality was 4.10 % and male mortality was 11.8 percent.
Female conception rate was 49.60% during the report period, which improved over last year
(34.24%).
During the period, 27666 doses semen were produce from 13th & 14th set bulls.
Two breeding bull and 56651 doses of frozen semen from progeny tested and other bulls were
disseminated to various agencies for breeding purpose.
Average birth weight in female and male calves was 31.08 and 31.96 kg respectively. Average
growth rate from birth to 24 months of age was estimated as 453.14 g per day in female and 474.73
g per day in male, which is quite good at the institutional herd for Murrah breed.
Milk production performance of buffaloes with respect to average 305 day or less lactation milk
yield was 2528 kg (n=75) as against 2306 kg (n=87) during previous year. Annual wet and herd
averages were 7.74 kg and 4.90 kg corresponding values for thew previous year was 8.10 and
4.85Kg.
Age at first calving recorded as 38.9 months (n=34), service period 151day (n=53), dry period 136
days (n=59) and caving interval was 435 days (n=59).
Total number of daughters born during the year was 39, 34 daughters reached AFC and first
lactation recording was done for 22 daughters.
Targets achieved during 2012-13
S. No Trait Target Achieved
1. Av. Age at first service (months) 24 months (300 kg. B. wt.) 28.1 (11)
2. Av. Age at first calving 40 months 38.9 (34)
3. Av. Age for initiating training of bulls
(months)
18 months (350 kg. B. wt.) 25 months
4. Av. Age at first collection 30 months (400 kg. B. wt.) 26 months
5. Av. Service period 130 days 151 (53)
6. Calf mortality (0-3 months) Less than 8% 8.0 %
7. Wet average > 8.0 kg 7.74 kg.
8. Herd average > 5.0 kg 4.90 kg.
Recommendations:
1. Appreciable improvement in lactation milk production needs to be sustained and there is still scope
for improvement in reproduction traits.

10. Research Achievements: 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 XIII th and XIV th set of bulls. Thirteenth set had 12 bulls
of which seven bulls test mating continued up to December, 2012. Out of 12 bulls of XIV th set,
test mating of two bulls continued up to March, 2013. The dams’ best lactation 305 day or less
milk yield of nine test bulls had ranged from 2510 to 4470 Kg. Four proven bulls including
proven bulls of IXth set were used for elite mating at the center.
ii) Targets and Achievements : The herd strength was marginally reduced during the period.
Average age at first service and average age at first calving of buffaloes were estimated 30.01
and 41.58 month. Average age for initiating training of the young bulls and age at first collection
has marginally reduced to 24.11 and 28.13 months. The average service period of buffalo was
123.93, which was within the target of the project. The overall mortality was 8.19 % in female
buffaloes and 15.12 % in male buffaloes and the female calf ( 0-3 months ) mortality was
reduced to 9.47 % which is slightly above the target specified in the project. The overall female
conception rate in the herd was significantly increased to 45.18 %. Eighty three more daughters
and fifty male calves were born in the herd. The milk production and productivity of buffaloes
were increased in the herd. The wet and herd average were increased to 7.35 and 4.63 Kg. The
average milk Fat, SNF and Total solid were estimated as 8.15 %, 9.69 %, and 17.85 %,
respectively.
iii) Selection of Young Murrah bull : A total of nine Murrah male calves were reserved
during the period (2012-13) 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 2557 in first lactation to 3067 kg. The center proposed ten bulls out of which four
48
breeding bulls were selected for test mating under XIV th Set. The dam’s best 305 days milk
yield of selected bulls ranged from 3072 to 3813 kg.
iv) Progeny Test Evaluation – Set-wise : Genetic evaluation of IX th set of 15 Murrah bulls using
Contemporary Comparison Method was completed and Bull No. MU 5258 of NDRI center
having sire index of 2466.2 kg and dam’s best lactation 305 days milk yield of 3305 kg was
declared as Second Best ranking Proven Bull with 10.52 % superiority over contemporary
daughters. The information on 305 days milk yield of daughters were collected and compiled for
X th set of bulls.
v) Bulls for elite mating at the institute herd : The breeding programme for Murrah herd was
followed for nominated mating using semen of Four Proven Murrah Bulls. A total of 57 (41.30
%) Murrah buffaloes were identified as elite animals. The elite buffaloes were used for
nominated mating with the proven bulls under the breeding programme. The average 305 days
lactation milk yield of these elite Murrah buffaloes was 2991 Kg which was 39.18 % higher than
the herd average (2149 kg ). The best lactation 305 daysmilk yield of elite Murrah buffaloes
ranged between 2504 to 3813 kg.
vi) Impact Analysis : 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.
vii ) Success Stories / Specific Activities: 1. Genetic evaluation of IX th set of 15 Murrah bulls is completed and Bull No. MU 5258 of NDRI
center was declared as second best ranking proven bull.
2. A total of 57 ( 41.30 % ) Murrah buffaloes were identified as elite animals in the herd.
3. Fertility of Murrah buffaloes was defined in terms of pregnancy rate. The level of fertility in
relation to milk production/ productivity of Murrah buffaloes were optimized. The result revealed
that to achieve around 2000 kg lactation milk yield or 7.5 kg wet average the level of fertility
should be in between 30% - 50 % in Murrah buffaloes. The increase of milk
production/productivity is associated with decline in fertility (pregnancy rate), as the pregnancy
rate have negative correlation with production/ productivity traits of Murrah buffaloes. The result
showed that with the increase of 100 kg milk yield in lactation or 1 kg milk yield per day per
buffalo the level of fertility (PR) declined from 1.7% to 4.4% and 0.3% to 1.4%. The decline of
milk production/productivity was found maximum with the increase of pregnancy rate in first
parity and minimum in fourth parity of Murrah buffaloes. The results inferred that efforts should
be made to evaluate Murrah bulls based on Daughters Pregnancy Rate ( DPR ) and milk
production / productivity in future under Net work Project on Buffalo Improvement.
viii) Germplasm production and dissemination: The NDRI center has produced 60,355 doses of
frozen semen of which 18570 doses of frozen semen were produced from five test bulls.
During the period, 4070 doses of semen were supplied to NDRI field unit and 23,751 doses of
frozen semen supplied to farmers and other dairy development organizations.
ix) Constraints, if any :The center has not faced any constraints during the period.
Focus of work in the coming year 2013-2014
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 on genetic evaluation of fertility traits in relation to heat stress in
Murrah buffaloes.

Herd Performance
Total herd strength reduced from 358 animals to 342 animals and breedable stock was 221
animals.
Breeding efficiency (total calving/breedable stock) was estimated as 61.54 %. Breeding
efficiency improved during last three years from 43.77% (10-11
Percent calf mortality (0-3 months) in female and male calves are 9.47% and 12.12%,
respectively ( Total 0-3 month calf mortality was 10.56 percent) which reduced from last
year calf mortality of 24.17 but still above the target of <8%.
Overall conception rate during the period was 45.18 %. There is improvement in female
conception rate as previous year conception rate was 37.32%.
During the period, 14720 doses of semen were produced from four bulls of 14th
set.
Average birth wt. of female and male calves was 31.23 and 32.25 kg, respectively.
Milk Production performance of buffaloes with respect to average 305 day or less lactation
milk yield was 2256 kg as against 2191.83 kg during previous year. Annual wet and herd
averages were 7.35 kg and 4.63 kg. There is a marked improvement in wet and herd
average over the previous year.
All the reproductive parameter showed an improvement over the previous year i.e. age at
first calving 41.58 months, service period 124 days dry period 97 days and calving interval
402 days.

1. The improvement in production performance need to be sustained and efforts should
be made to reach at 8.0 kg wet average. Reproductive performance showing
improvement over last three years and need to be sustained.
2. Effort need to be made to disseminate more number of frozen semen doses to
farmers and developmental agencies.

10. SALIENT RESEARCH ACHIEVEMENTS:
(a) Herd Strength:The opening balance (herd strength) of Murrah buffaloes as on 01/04/2012 was 150
heads (32 males and 118 females). Additions in the herd were due to birth of 24 female and 29 male
calves (53 heads). Deletions from the herd were due to death of 7 animals (3males and 4 females),
external transfer of 18 animals (16 males and 2 females) , auction/sale of 13 buffaloes (3 males and 10
females, Table 9.1 & 9.3). In all, 38 animals were deleted from the herd due to various reasons
whereas 54 animals were added due to new births and purchase. The new calvings were well
distributed over all the months of year, except April and May 2012 when no calving took place. The
male : female ratio of new calvings was 1.00:0.83 (Table 9.2). The closing balance of the buffalo herd
as on 31/03/2013 was 165 buffalo heads (127 females and 38 males) (Table 9.1).
Out of total 13 animals culled/sold during the current year (Table 9.1 and 9.3), all buffaloes (3 males
and 10 females) were sold/auctioned due to surplus/off-type/low production, reproductive ground
along with weak and old buffaloes (Table 9.3). A total of 18 buffaloes (16 males and 2 buffalo) were
transferred to various Divisions/Sections for experimental purposes (Table 9.3).
(b) Mortality (Detailed): The overall mortality per cent was 3.45%. The overall female and male group
mortality percents were 2.11 and 6.56%, respectively (Table 9.4). A total of seven deaths were
recorded in IVRI buffalo herd during the current year (4 males and 3 females). The major causes of
deaths are presented in Table 9.5.
(c) Prophylaxis: Prophylaxis measures taken in the Murrah Buffaloes have been presented in Table 9.6).
60
(d) Reproductive Performance: The overall conception rate was 60.42% (Table 9.8). The respective
figures in heifer and adult groups were 47.05 and 67.74%, respectively. The overall calving
abnormalities were 22.64%, which included 3.77% abortions, 3.77% unseen abortions, 3.77%
dystokia, 3.77% of retention of placenta, 5.66% prolapse and 1.89% premature births and still births
(Table 9.7). The bull wise conception rates are presented in Table 9.9. Bull wise semen stock position
during the report period is presented in Table 9.10.
The least squares’ means (LSM) for age at first calving, service period, dry period and calving
interval were 39.69±2.82 months, 213.49±26.37 days, 232.93±21.36 days and 479.29±22.88 days,
respectively (Table 9.14 and 9.14.1).
Month-wise calving statistics along with sex ratio (Male: Female:: 1.00 : 0.83) has been presented in
Table 9.2. Bull wise daughters performance during the period under report, bull wise daughters born
during the period and list of breeding bulls as on 31/03/2013 are presented in Table 9.18, 9.19 and
9.20, respectively.
(e) Growth performance:The least squares’ means (LSM) for overall live body weights at birth, 3, 6,
12, 18 and 24 months of age were 35.58±0.53, 69.43±1.76, 126.63±3.57, 234.26±11.42, 334.62±8.98
and 377.9391.25±8.84 kg, respectively. The respective values for females and males were 33.63±0.78,
69.96±2.46, 126.30±4.82, 233.53±13.84, 334.62±8.98 and 391.25±8.84 kg, respectively and
37.53±0.71, 68.91±2.52, 126.95±5.30, and 235.00±20.18 kg, respectively (Table 9.11). The weight at
first calving during the current year was 535.71±25.87 kg (Table 9.11.1).
(f) Milk Production Performance:Buffaloes produced 82098 kg milk during the period under report
(Table 9.15). Means for overall wet and herd averages were 5.66 and 3.59 kg, respectively, ( Table
9.17 and 9.17.1). On an average, 62.92% of the total adult females were in the milk during this period
(Table 9.17).
The LSM’s for total lactation milk yield, average lactation length, average 305 days’ yield and peak
yield were 2249.40±8.46 kg, 316.43±08.41 days, 2242.31±108.05 kg and 11.01±0.34 kg, respectively
(Table 9.12 and Table 9.12.1).
The milk analysis of 872 milk sample based estimated mean values for Fat, SNF and Total Solids
percent were 7.88, 9.81 and 17.75 %, respectively (Table 9.13).
The analysis for lactational traits data was done for animals expressing normal lactation length i.e. 7
months or more.
(g) Feeds and Fodder Availability: The feeds and fodder supplied to the buffaloes of the project are
presented in Table 9.16.
11. Publications: 3
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 in the field.
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 increased to 165 from 150 animals of the previous year out of which 79 are
breedable animals.
Percent calf mortality (0-3 months) in female and male stock is estimated 3.57% and 12.12 %
respectively (overall: 8.2 %). This improved from the previous year mortality of 17.74
percent.
Percent conception rate of 60.00 % is high and showed improvement over the previous year
average of 50.00 %.
Average birth weight in female and male calves was 33.63 and 37.53 kg respectively, which
shows an improvement > 2.5 kg over the previous year. Birth weight in the male and female
calves is higher than the other Murrah centres. Average growth rate from birth to 24 months
of age was estimated as 489.89 g in female, which is good for Murrah breed.
305 day milk yield was 2242.31±108.05 Kg (n=20). Annual wet average and herd averages
were 5.66 kg, 3.59 kg respectively. Wet average declined while herd average slightly
increased over the previous year but both are below the targets.
Average age at first calving reduced to 39.69 (n=7) from 45.61 months of the previous year.
Service period, dry period and calving interval were reported as 213 days, 233 days and 479
days, respectively.

10. Salient Research Achievements including survey reports/farmers animals covered in the
project : Survey of farmer’s animals is in progress in 3 selected villages, viz: Fort Warangal,
Gunturpally and Hasanparthy
11. Publications : 2
12. Expected Socio-economic impact in the tract: Up-gradation of local buffaloes using elite
Murrah semen results in improvement in economic status of farmers through sale of milk
13. Constraints if any :
I) Executive orders on shifting of NPBI from Anthergoan to Mamnoor and Semen Lab from
VR gudem to Mamnoor is expected shortly from SVVU and from 01-04-2012, the NPBI
technical programme is being implemented at Mamnoor.
II) Weighing balance for large animals may be provided to measure body weights.
14. Focus of work in the coming year:
i) Performance recording of animals of NPBI
ii) Purchase of some more animals to maintain the minimum breedable bovines
iii) Identification of farmers’ animals for FIELD PT is in progress.

Herd Performance :
The Mamnoor centre functioning from 1st April 2012. Herd strength is 61 consisting 31
breedable buffaloes and calves. Calves mortality (0-3 month) was 13.36 percent during the
period i.e. 3 died out of 22.
Production and reproduction data were available on very few number of animals. 305 day or
less day milk yield was 1560 kg (n=5).
Wet average of 4.70 kg (n=17) and herd average of 2.80 (n=31) were very low during the
period. Only 55 percent animals were in milk during the period.
Recommendation:
1. Young bull kept at the farm having dam’s milk yield < 2700 kg may be disposed off.
2. Performance is not upto the mark and animal from Venkataramangudam farm still not
shifted to Mamnoor centre.

10. Salient Research Achievements
A study on Efficacy of CIDR for inducing estrus was carried out in the station. A modified
protocol was adopted such as inserting CIDR on 0 th day, Prostaglandin on 6th
day , CIDR was
removed on 7th
day and AI was done on 10 th and 11 th day along with AI chorulon 1500 IU
was administered on 10th
day. All 14 animals treated with the protocol were came to heat and
the response rate was 100% and conception was 42.8% (6/14)
11. Publications:- Eruma valarthal sadhyathakal – Published in “Jeevajlakam” a Malayalam
publication by Animal Husbandry Department, Kerala

12. Expected socio economic impact in the tract
There is tremendous demand for buffaloes/buffalo bull claves. A male calf rearing unit has
started in the farm with state plan fund. A satellite unit has established in the University Buffalo
farm, Mannuthy. Semen straws are supplying to the farmers based on their requirement.
13. Constraints if any
Lack of non recurring fund limits the improvement of infrastructure facilities. Allocation of pay
and allowances is less than the required amount.
14. Focus of the work in the coming year
Efforts are being made to improve the reproductive efficiency of the buffalo herd. Strict
selection procedures based on milk production has to be started for improving the production
performance of the animals.
Achievements during the year 2012-13
1. Improved cooling facility: - Installed mist fogging in buffalo shed using state plan fund for
saving the animals from scorching summer in Palakkad district.
2. Purchased a fodder harvester using state plan fund which can save 10 laborers.
3. Feeding trial has been started with Energy supplements like bypass fat and maize
4. Started machine milking in all animals

Herd Performance
Effort has been made to establish herd of Murrah buffaloes with a total of 71 animals
consisting 37 breedable buffaloes.
Calf mortality (0-3 months) was 4.76 percent during the period.
305 days milk yield has recorded as 1698 kg (n=11).
All the reproduction parameter viz service period, dry period and calving interval are
reported to be 266 days, 295 days and 571 days respectively which are very high and need
to be improved.
Constraints
1) Lack of non recurring contingencies limits the infrastructure facilities and civil
works has resulted in stagnation of the project activities
Recommendation:
1. Format of the report for most of the tables have been changed.
2. Conception rate is only 24.32 %, which need to be improved.
3. 305 day milk yield is low and need to be improved.
4. The production reproduction parmeters and conception rate are well below the
normal. Concentrated efforts are needed to improve the performance at the farm.

10. Salient Research Achievements including survey reports/farmers animals covered in the
project.:
The Nili-Ravi is one of the important buffalo breeds of India with their home tract in
Gurdaspur, Amritsar, Tarntarn and Ferozepur districts of Punjab. To preserve this important
germplasm of buffalo in India, the sub-campus of this institute has been established and
identified as one of the centers for research work under the Network Programme on Buffaloes
for Nili-Ravi breed.
At present, 460 buffaloes including lactating, bulls and growers animals are being
maintained at this campus. During the period under report the fourth set of Nili-Ravi bulls is
being used for breedable females at farm under network programme and performance of
progenies is being recorded. Semen processed from fifth set of bulls. Sixty five surplus
animals were auctioned and mortality rates were 3.75 and 1.49 per cent for young calf and
overall, respectively. The wet average of 8.26 kg and herd average of 5.34 kg were achieved
for the period. Both wet and herd average were highest since the inception of the sub-campus.
Herd strength and Animal disposal: The herd strength at the beginning for the year was 402
animals and at the end it was 460. The disposal of animals during year 2012-13 was through
auction and sale of 65 surplus animals and death of 8 animals during the year.
Mortality: Overall, 6 young males and female calves died in the age group of birth to 12
months and 02 adult animals died due to several reasons. The data on percentage of mortality
since 1991-1992 has been given in table 1.
Growth: The body weights at birth were 32.28 and 34.24 kg for female and male buffalo calves,
respectively. The growth rate of males calves was higher than the female calves. Females and
males achieved 351.74 kg and 382.0 kg body weight at 24 months of age.
Production performance: Average total lactation yield during 2012-13 is 2048 kg. The data on
average total lactation yield since 1990-1991 has been given in table 2.
Month-wise milking performance: During the period of 2012-13, month-wise milk production
of buffaloes had consistent improvement. The overall wet and herd average were 8.26 and 5.34
kg, respectively. The data on average wet and herd average since 1989-1990 have been given in
table 3.

11. Publications:
a) Manuals:One day - One; Seven /Ten day training - Three b) Research articles: Publish -One; In Press - Two
c) Presentation in Conferences/ Symposia/ Seminars/ other forum: - Four
12. Expected Socio-economic impact in the tract: As the only organized farm of Nili-Ravi breed in India, this campus is contributing to
conservation and improvement of this fine breed of buffaloes. For dissemination of Nili-
Ravi germplasm, 13375 doses frozen semen were sold.
13. Constraints if any:
i) Staff and essential infrastructure facility required to be improved.
ii) A photometer is required urgently for smooth & essential activities for semen laboratory.
14. Focus of work in the coming year:
a. Introduction of Nili-Ravi germplasm (semen) already collected from field bulls to the
Institute Herd.
b. Freezing semen from fifth set bulls of Network programme.
c. Selection of bull calves for future sets.
d. Culling of off breed animals from the herd.
e. Recording of performance of existing Nili-Ravi herd and the progenies of bulls used in
previous sets.
(f) Efforts are being made for possible inclusion of organized farm(s) interested to maintain
Nili-Ravi breed of buffaloes and also to identify the farmers in the breeding tract for
conservation and propagation of Nili-Ravi buffalo population.
Seven day Farmers’ training was organised from 18th
to 24th

Herd Performance
Herd strength was 460 heads out of which breedable buffaloes were 169 which increased from
149 of previous year.
Percent calf mortality (0-3 months) in female and male calves were 1.59 % and 5.71 %
respectively. Over all calves, mortality is 3.76 %, which is appreciable.
Female conception rate 40.00 % during 2012-13, which was higher than the previous years. It
may still be improved.
Average birth weight in female and male calves was 32.28 kg and 34.24 kg respectively.
Average growth rate from birth to 24 months of age estimated as 437.61g per day in female
and 476.38 g per day in male.
Milk production performance of buffaloes with respect to average 305 day or less Lactation
yield was 2017.4 kg as against 1997.9 kg in previous year. There is continous improvement in
305 days milk yield over the last three years but lactation length is decreasing. Annual wet
average increased to 8.26 kg from 7.74 kg and herd average improved to 5.34 kg from 5.30 kg
of the previous year.
Average age at first calving was 39.62 months which is well within target. Service period, dry
period and calving interval were 126, 151 and 436 days.
20803 semen doses were prodced during the year from the 4th
and 5th
set of breeding bulls and
13375 frozen semen doses were disseminated to developmental agencies and farmers.

Constraints : a) Scarcity of staff and essential infrastructure has been indicated.
b) Photometer for semen freezing lab.
Recommendations:
1. Purity of the Nili-Ravi herd has slightly improved and continuous culling of off breed
animals should be carried out to maintain purity of the breed.
2. New germplasm from outside source need to be introduced.
3. Av. Lactation length is 264 days, which is low. Effort should be made to improve the
lactation length .
4. More number of semen doses to be produced and dessiminated to the farmers in the
breeding tract so that the population of the breed may be improved .
5. Performance of the centre is appreciable

1. Name of center : Cattle Breeding Farm,
Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh.
2. Project Code : 18-3 / 97-ASR - II dt. 29 / 03 / 2001
3. Project Title : Network Project on Buffalo Improvement ( Jaffarabadi )
4. Date of Start : 01/ 04 / 2001
5. Objectives : The objective of the project is to envisage and undertake progeny
testing for improvement of Jaffarabadi 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 technical programme of the project for the year 2012-13 was carried out as per the approved
mandate both at the station as well as in field. Frozen semen doses of seven bulls(4 bulls of
set 1 and 3 bulls of set 2) were used at the station as well as in the field in varying numbers. The
semen doses of 1st 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 ten on going centers ,1 new
center was started at Gundala of Mendarda taluka of Junagadh district. Shergarh centre had to be
closed as the operator shifted to other place. All the breedable females of the station were allotted to
new set of five bulls.They are being bred 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)
only will be used for breeding females., both in field as well as at station. The performance of
the
station herd has been depicted in tables 9.1 to 9.19 which is self explanatory. The overall
reproductive performance showed improvement in all respects such as Bull fertility, AFC, Service
period, Dry period and Calving interval.Targets were fulfilled in terms of Service Period , Wet
average and Calf mortality(Table 10.3). Figure for and Herd average is closer to the given target
However, the target given for Age at first calving appears to be very low for Jaffrabadi breed.. The
no. of elite buffaloes rose to 20(Table –EH 1).

Herd strength at the farm was 242 heads comprising 151 breedable animals and 11 breeding bulls.
Total 54 birth were recording (29 males and 25 females) during the period. Mortality at the farm
was 5.99 % and calf mortality (0-3 months) was reported as 16.66 % which is higher than target.
Female conception rate was 56 % which is good, but parity wise conception rate need to be given in
the table 9.8.
During the period six bulls were used for AI at the farm and 22285 doses of semen were produced
and 5895 doses were used for AI/supplied. It is now clear from the tables of body weight that the
body weight records for the year 2011-12 deviated from the normal in upwards direction.
Production performance of buffaloes in 3rd, 4th & 5th lactation are even lower than the 1st lactation
yield at the farm and this is one of the reason that during the year 305 or less day milk yield
reduced to 1737.0 kg (n=39) from 2084 kg (n=30) of 2011-12. Reproductive performance viz. Age
at first calving, Service Period, Dry Period and Calving Interval were 49.31 months (n=10) 174
days (n=42), 217 days (n=42) and 465 days (n=42), respectively. Wet & herd average reduced from
last year average of 6.91 kg &4.06 kg to 6.73 kg &2.67 kg. The low herd average indicates poor
reproductive management. Only 40 percent animals are in milk during the period.
Field Unit: Registered herd strength was 17493 heads. AI & PD is going on at different centres,
but the 1st lactation yield of daughters are not available which is a constraint for bull evaluation.
During the 12th Plan provisions are made to provide incentives to the farmers and AI workers so
that the 1st lactation milk be recorded.
Targets achieved during 2012-13
SN Trait Target Achieved
1. Av. Age at first service (months) 22 months (300 kg. B. wt.) 35 months
2. Av. Age at first calving 42 months 49.31
3. Av. Age for initiating training of bulls (months) -- --
4. Av. Age at first collection -- --
5. Av. Service period 140 days 174
6. Calf mortality (0-3 months) Less than 8% 16.6 %
7. Wet average > 7.0 kg 6.73 kg.
8. Herd average > 4.0 kg 2.67 kg.
Recommendation: Bulls Nagraj, Moti & Laxman should be discontinued now and new set of bulls be used at Field
Unit as well as Farm.
Production performance need to be improved and reason for low production in 3rd, 4th & 5th
lactation at the farm may be accertained.

5. Objectives: The objective of the project is to envisage and undertake progeny testing for
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 : A herd of 80 animals consisting of Pandharpuri buffaloes, calves, heifers and breeding
bulls is maintained at Buffalo farm of Zonal Agricultural Research Station, Sub-Montane Zone
NARP Shenda Park Kolhapur. Pandharpuri buffaloes are maintained for production of test bulls
of superior genetic potential. Breeding bulls of superior genetic merit are produced on farm or in
field through the inseminations done from the frozen semen doses produced from elite bulls for
further semen collection and production of frozen semen doses. Semen freezing is done in
laboratory established at NARP, Shenda Park Kolhapur. The semen doses produced in FS
laboratory are used for inseminations in field to bring in genetic improvement in Pandharpuri and
non-descript buffaloes. From each bull 8-10 thousand doses of semen are being freezed. The
frozen semen from 8 to12 bulls in each set of 18-24 months duration are handed over to the Milk
Unions and other private inseminators in districts of Pandharpuri buffalo breeding tract. About
50 daughters are expected to be recorded from each bull for evaluation of sires. Semen doses of
bulls from Set-III and Set-IV bulls have been freezed and utilized in the field for insemination.
Up till now about 3.00 lakh semen doses are produced and 2.00 lakh semen doses are used in the
field in the breeding tract of Pandharpuri buffalo i.e. Kolhapur, Sangli, Satara, Solapur and
adjoining areas of Karnataka.

Herd Performance
Total herd strength is 76 animals and breedable stock 24.
Overall calf mortality in 0-3 monthswas reported as 6.25%.
Female conception rate was as 61.29 perecent.
During the period, 46120 doses of semen were produced involving bulls of 4th & 5
th set.
Average birth wt. of female and male calves was 28.5 kg and 28.66 kg respectively. Average growth rate
from birth to 24 months of age were estimated as 223.19g per day in female and 223.38 g per day in
males.
Average lactation yield was reported to be 1442 kg with Av. Lactation length of 266 days which was
lower than the previous year. Annual average for wet and herd average were 5.0 kg and 3.00 kg.
Age at first calving during the period was 42.16 months. Service period 106 day, calving interval 435 days
and dry period 111 days increased during the report period from 99 days, 426 days and 109 days
respectively from the previous year.
Field Unit: Total breedable animals covered in 18 villages of four districts are 7836 and 4081 AI’s were
undertaken, 2183 conceptions reported during the year. Total 3516 calvings took place, of which 1623
were famales. 1823 female calves were in the age group of 0-6 months, 850 in 6-12 months, 2074 in 1-3
year and 1018 more than 3 years of age. 461 daughters calved in field unit and recording is in progress.
Achievements of Targets during 2012-13
Sr. No. Trait Target Achieved
1. Av. Age at first service (months) 34 months 32.08
2. Av. Age at first calving (months) 44 months 42.16
3. Av. Age for initiating training of bulls (months) - 30.00
4. Av. Age at first collection 30 months 30.00
5. Av. Service period (days) 130 days 106
6. Calf mortality (0-3 months) < 8.00 % 6.25
7. Wet average (kg) 6.00 kg 5.00
8. Herd average (kg) 4.00 kg 3.00
Recommendations:
1. No. of bulls in 5th set be increased to 6-8.
2. Good work done in field be monitored for retrieval of information on daughter’s performance so that it
can be used for progeny testing.
3. Decrease production performance in terms of lactation yield and length need to be checked and
improved.
4. Av. 305 day or less day milk yield is to be given instead of estimated 305 day milk yield.

NETWORK PROJECT ON SWAMP BUFFALO AAU 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 : The objective of the project is to envisage and undertake progeny testing
for improvement of Swamp 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 main objective of the project is to bring in genetic improvement as well
as conservation of swamp buffaloes of the existing University herd as well as the private sectors and
voluntary organizations. An elite herd of 30-40 buffaloes initially will have to be established. The herd
strength will later be increased with the addition of more animals. At the same time a set of 8-10 young
bulls will have to be maintained which will be trained for their semen collection. The females in the
university herd should bred through AI only. At least 1000 doses of semen against each bull will have to
be stored for future use. Performance recording will be made on the dam as well as on the progenies. The
best young males produced in the farm will be distributed in the field for breeding females thereby
improving the production potentialities. As per the decision in the IX Scientist Meet, the center will now
be considered as a conservation unit owing to difficulties of AI in the field.

9. Herd performance: The various herd performance records of the swamp buffaloes under
the project have been reported in Annexure 9.1 onwards. Because of the smaller herd size, number
of observations/records in regards to various parameters is considerably low and in some cases
records are not available. Besides, about 20 female buffaloes have been disposed during 2011-12
129
.Hence the nos. of lactating animal are very less and the newly procured animals are not coming
into production.

average peak yield of 3.21 kg. The herd average is recorded to be 1.07 kg and wet average 1.95 kg.
Milk fat percentage was found to range from 6.65 to 9.93 with an average percentage of 8.04%,
SNF % from 8.65 to 9.61 with an average of 9.09 %, total solids average 17.13% and protein
percentage from 2.65% to 4.76 % with an average value of 3.17 have been recorded
The female conception rate during the year 2012-13 has been recorded to be 44.44% and the bull
wise conception rate has been recorded to be 44.44% which is little lower than the previous year.
No calf mortality recorded during 0 to 3 month of age.
At present there is a stock of 1163 doses of frozen semen straw in the project. Presently 3 numbers
of new young bulls has been put to training for collection of semen. The average age at initiating
training and average age at first collection of semen were recorded to be 24 months and 35 months
respectively.
During the period two free vaccination cum treatment camps were organized in buffalo khuties
where large number of buffaloes were vaccinated and treated against various diseases.
A Farmers Scientist Interactive Session was organized in the College of Veterinary Science, AAU,
Khanapara on 16.03.2013 during the “National Seminar on Buffaloes for Sustainable Food
Security” where about 50 farmers from different areas of the state participated including the
different scientist, dignitaries coming from different corners of the country to attend the seminar.
Imparting training to the farmers as well as unemployed youths organized by the Directorate of
Extension Education in the buffalo farm under project regarding increased productivity of buffalo..
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:Fund allotted for equipments, civil works and animals should be released early
during 12th plan so that enlisted equipments can be procured and old animals can be replaced with new
ones with pure swamp blood.
14. Brief work plan for the year 2013 - 14:
To increase the herd strength by purchasing new animals that is true to the breed type.
To replace the swamp type buffaloes gradually from the farm for increase the production and
reproductive performances
To produce quality breeding bulls at the farm and distribution of surplus breeding bulls in the field.

Herd performance
Herd strength was 60 animals. Breedable stock increased to 39 animals from 37 of previous year.
No calf mortality (0 to 3 months) in female and male calves has been recorded out of six
calvings.
Female conception rate was 44.44 % (8 conceive out of 18 AI’s)
During the period 1295 doses of semen were produced and frozen from 7 bulls.
Instead of average body weights in female and male of different age groups body measurements
presented in the table no.9.11.1 and 9.11.2.
On average 6 animals were in milk and Av. milk production performance of buffaloes reported
as 625 kg against 671 kg during previous year. Annual wet and herd average were 1.95 kg and
1.07 kg.
Average age at first calving is 65.13 (n=3) months, which is very high. Other reproductive
parameters viz. service period, dry period and calving interval were to 211 days, 210 days and
506 days.
There is need to improve reproductive efficiency.

Recommendations:
1. Production and reproduction performance need to be improved.
2. Field activities to be strengthened.
3. Strictly Swamp bulls (N=48) to be used to swamp buffaloes and animals having ‘N=50’
should be replaced with N=48 animals.
4. From the body measurement, the body weights may be estimated and presented.
5. Dry fodder should be given in Kg/Quintals

The herd strength at university farm increased from 110 to 128 during report period.
The calf mortality was 21.05% in 0-3 months age group. Not a single case of dystokia,
Retention of Placenta and prolapse of vagina, cervix or uterus was recorded at farm during the
report period. Only one case each of still birth and abortion was recorded as calving
abnormalities.
The conception rate was observed as 48.21% at the university farm which is better than last
year.

The average age at first calving was 1448 days which is lower than that of last year and lowest
for last six years.
A total of 42617.5 kg of milk was produced with an overall percent buffaloes in milk to be
65.24, wet average 5.15 kg and herd average 3.36 kg. There was marked increase in these
parameters than last year.
Maximum number of buffaloes in the field was bred during the month of October (17.19%).
The conception rate in Surti buffaloes under field condition was 32.98%.
For the VI set of bulls, total of 6529 AIs were performed out of which 1969 pregnancies were obtained,
resulting in total 316 daughters available for recording.
Final evaluation of first, second and third set of bulls completed.
Test mating from VI test of bulls has been almost completed.
Collection and test matting of VII set of bulls has been started.
Expected Socio-economic Impact in the tract:
The supply of high pedigreed test bulls as well as semen of test bulls and progeny tested
bulls has helped in improving the scenario of Dairy Farming in the region. Farmers of the
region are showing interest towards buffalo rearing for milk production as evident from
152
positive growth rate of buffaloes in comparison to cattle in addition; Buffalo contributed
more than 90% of total income from livestock, indicating importance of buffalo in socio-
economy of farmers in the region.
Constraints if any:-For strengthening of field testing programme:-
Recurring contingency is short to meet out the increased cost of feed and fodder,
labour, medicine and liquid nitrogen.
Training programmes may be organized for the buffalo keepers with the provision of
sufficient fund for the same.
Provision of atleast 6 posts of inseminators on fixed wages of Rs. 8000 pm. (Rs.5.76
Lacs per year)
Atleast Rs. 2.0 lacs should be allotted for incentives to the registered farmers in terms
of vaccination, deworming, supplementation of mineral mixture and organizing
treatment camps as well as events such as animal fare.
Provision of 2 motorcycles for efficient supervision of field unit centers costing Rs. 1.0
lacs.
12. Focus of work in the coming year
12.1 Field unit
Strengthen progeny testing programme in the field.
Identify elite buffaloes in farmers herd for nominated mating.
Treatment camps and animal competition will be organised at all the field centres to get
better cooperation of farmers.
Procure 2-3 male calves born from nominated mating at farmers herd.
Survey of socio-economic parameters of registered farmers will be under taken
seasonally.
12.2 Institutional herd
Preserve required number of doses of VII set of bulls.
Efforts will be made to further increase reproductive and productive efficiency of
institutional herd.

Herd Performance
The herd strength increased from 110 to 128 during the period. 36 calvings were recorded out of
which 24 were males. Calf mortality (0 – 3 month) was 21.05 %, which is very high. All the
deaths were reported in male calves. Semen of 6th set bulls were used during the period at the
farm, 8786 semen doses were frozen and 2414 doses of 6th set bulls were supplied /used in the
field unit. Production performance in term of lactation yield, lactation length, 305 or less day milk
yield were 1432.72±50.6 kg, 296.48±9.0 days and 1390.57±41.3 kg, respectively. Production
performance is comparable to the last year performance only lactation length reduced from 319 to
296 days. Reproductive performance viz Age at first calving, Service Period, Dry Period, and
Calving Interval were 46.63 months, 108.6 days, 164.08 and 441.73 days respectively. Percent
animal in milk increased from 63 to 65% having wet and herd averages of 5.15 and 3.36 kg. Wet
and herd average increased from last year.
Field Unit:
Semen from the 5 bulls were used from 1897 AI’s at different centres during the period. The total
conception was 583 with the conception rate of 32.98 % and 487 calvings were recorded out of
235 were females. 505progenies are available in the field for recording.

Constraints: Non-availability of incentives to AI workers and farmers. They help data recording from
field. Non-availability of vehicle/motorcycle for supervision of field centres.
Recommendations:
Calf management should be improved and reason for dead in only males calves be ascertained.
The young bull calves having 305 day or less day milk yield < 1500 kg should sold/ auction and
should not to be used for breeding purpose.
Efforts should be made to record maximum no of daughters available for recording from V & VI
set bulls. New set of bulls to be used at farm & Field units.

NETWORK PROJECT ON BUFFALO IMPROVEMENT
IGFRI JHANSI (UP)
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: 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 (6-8
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 semi-arid region (The home tract of Bhadawari buffalo).

Two bulls were sold to Bhadawari breeding farm Etawah.
Semen collection and subsequent cryopreservation of selected bulls have been carried out.
8200 semen doses were sold for AI in the field.
In the past breeding bulls were sold to BAIF, Animal Breeding center Salon (U.P.),
Department of Livestock Madhya Pradesh and Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Pashu Chikitsa
Vighyan Viswavidhyalaya evam Gau Anusandhan Sansthan, Mathura (U.P.). Semen
freezing from Bhadawari bulls at these centers is being done. BAIF have started AI in the
field (Jalaun and Etawah district) through Bhadawari semen. Animal Breeding Center
Salon have also started selling Bhadawari semen for AI in the field.
11. Publications: Four
12. Expected Socio-economic 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 1. Shortage of staff in the project is the major constraints. The post sanctioned under the
project may be filled up.
2. State Govt. animal husbandry department (U.P. and M.P.) are not coming forward to utilize
the Bhadawari buffalo semen produced in the project, for AI in the field.
3. 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: Efforts will be made to improve the functioning of the
project. Semen freezing will be continued. Efforts will be made to start AI in the breeding tract
of the breed.

Herd Performance
Herd strength was 72 animals out of which51 were breedable buffaloes.
24 calving took place and calf mortality (0-3 months) was 8.69 % during the report period.
Female conception rate reported as 38.37 per cent (33/86).
Birth weights in female and male calves were 24.87 kg and 25.92 kg respectively. Average
growth rate in heifers from birth to 24 months is estimated 241.89g per day.
During the period, 2 breeding bulls were sold to Bhadawari breeding farm Etawah (UP). 6730
doses of semen frozen belonging to six bulls, 8200 doses were sold and 117 doses of semen
were used in AI at farm.
Average 305 day or less lactation milk yield is reported as 1495 kg (n=8) which is higher than
the estimate of previous year (1215 kg). Wet average 4.67 kg and herd average was 1.75 kg.
Age of first calving was 51.31 months is higher than the target of 44 months.
Average dry period and calving interval increased from 188 day to 203 days and 497 days to
513 days respectively, but service period decreased to 154 days from 179 days from previous
year.

Recommendations:
After disposing off the low producing animals production performance improved.
No. of young breeding bull should be reduced from 22 to ten (appro.) after
prilimanary selection.
The field AI activity may be initiated for improving the population of superior
bhadawari buffaloes.

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 programmes, 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 (100-300 in number) 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.
180
FIELD UNIT: CIRB HISAR
During the period from April 2012 to March 2013, 4204 artificial inseminations with the test
bulls were performed in ten adopted villages. The semen of 13th and 14th set was used for
insemination. In all 2095 pregnancies were confirmed and 1159 calvings were recorded, out of
which 585 were males and 574 were females. In this period 71 progenies, 1of 9th
49 of 10th
and
21 of 11th
set were calved at various field unit centres and the monthly test day milk recordings
are in progress. The average age at first calving for these 71 daughters calved was 41.64 months.
During the year, the monthly test day milk recordings of 116 daughters were done, out of which
50 daughters completed the lactation, 17 daughters were sold before the lactation is completed
and recording of 49 daughters are in progress. As on 31st March 2013. 630 female progenies of
10th to 13th set of different age are standing at various field unit centers under the project for
future milk recordings. Out of which 286, 302 and 42 daughters were less than 1 year, 1-3 years
and more than three years, respectively. The physical identification using injectable microchips
has been done in all female progenies born in the field.

4072 animals have been registered in 10 villages of which 1751 buffaloes were in milk and 1611
were pregnant.
During the period, 4204 inseminations were performed utilizing the semen of 12th , 13th and 14th
set bulls (13 bulls) in 10 villages. Average number of AI per bull was 323.
2093 conceptions took place giving conception rate of 49.78 per cent which is good under field
condition.
574 Female calve were born.
132 daughters of 0 - 6 months, 146 daughters from 6-12 months of age and 302 daughters from 1-
3 years of age were available at the centre. 42 Daughters above 3 years of age were also available.
71 daughters calved during the year.
During the year, the monthly test day milk recordings of 116 daughters were done, out of
which 50 daughters completed the lactation, 17 daughters were sold before the lactation is
completed and recording of 49 daughters are in progress.
Recommendations :
No of AI per bull need to be increased to at least 500 from the existing 323 AI and follow up
action be taken to record maximum no daughters’ first lactation milk yield for PT.
Milk recording of daughter should be followed properly to insure more number of
recording per AI.

During the period, 8517 inseminations were performed utilizing the semen of of 12th
and 13th
set bulls (7 bulls)
3463 conceptions took place giving conception rate of 40.66 %, which is considered as
good under field condition.
2496 calving took place during the period out of which 1155 were female calves.
52 daughters of 0-6 months, 213 daughters from 6-12 months of age, 1091 daughters
from 1-3 years of age and 622 daughters of more than 3 years of age were available at
the centre.
140 daughters calved at different centres.
Milk recording from 176 daughters was completed. Daughters average yield was 8.1 kg
and average age at first calving was 47.9 months in the field over all the records.
Recommendations :
700-800 AI need to be done in the field and follow up action be taken to record
maximum no daughters’ first lactation milk yield for PT.
Milk recording of daughter should be followed properly to insure more number of
recording per AI.
Project Co-ordinator’s observations on Field Unit performance
208
NDRI, KARNAL (FIELD UNIT)
Research Achievements :
Total of 2905 AI were performed in Murrah Buffaloes under field conditions during
2012-13 and as a result 48.94 % conception rate was obtained. The highest conception rate was
observed in the month of April (58.90 %) and the lowest was in the month of January (42.67%).
Across the villages, the highest conception rate was observed in Darar (57.67%) and lowest was
observed in the village Janesaron (30.89%). A total of 1159 (590 male and 569 female) Murrah
buffalo calves were born in the farmers’ herds and performance data on 138 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 5754 and 4281 respectively. As many
as 17 breeding bulls belonging to the 12th
and 13th
set were used for AI during the year.

ACTION PLAN FOR 2013 -14
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.
During the year 2013-14, a series of interactive meetings/ discussions will be held with
the buffalo farmers to impress upon them the need for genetic improvement of buffaloes
and the indispensability of AI for this purpose so that more farmers are inclined to accept
AI in general for buffalo breeding.

5754 animals have been registered in 4 centres of which 2229 buffaloes were in milk and
949 were dry.
2905 AI’s were performed and 1422 conceptions took place giving conception rate of
48.95% (AI upto Dec.,11-2265) that is good under field condition.
1159 calves (590 male and 569 female) were born during the period. Live female
progeny of 0-6 months 267, 6-12 months 345, 1-3 years 671 and above 3 years 700 were
registered in the field
582 daughters were calved upto 31st March and complete milk recording of 437 animals
were done since inception.
Recommendations :
Number of AI per bull need to be increased to at least 500 from the existing 375
AI and follow up action be taken to record maximum number of daughters’
first lactation milk yield for PT.
Records of daughters of the bulls of different sets are only to be given in the
report.
Milk recording of daughter should be followed properly to insure more number
of recording per AI.

Bull Certification Laboratory, CIRB Hisar Annual Progress Report 2012-13
Name of Project : Network project on Buffalo Improvement
Name of the centre : Bull Certification laboratory, CIRB, Hisar
Scheme code : 18-3/97, 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 in 2002 under 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 of XIth
,XIIth
,XIIIth
, XIVth
set
& future breeding bulls (Murrah), V
th set (Nili Ravi) and samples received from CIRB Herd
(Murrah), Field animals spotted for purchase in CIRB Hisar and Animals spotted for
purchase under Elanco Project at CIRB, Hisar were screened for various diseases transmitted
through semen. Out of 99 animals screened for Tuberculosis and Johnin disease none was
found reactive. All the animals (i.e. 226 by RBPT, 344 By ELISA and 9animals by MRT)
tested for Brucella were found –ve for the disease. Out of 81 animals tested for detection and
estimation of BHV-I (causative agent of IBR) antibodies, 27.9% (29 out of 81 tested )animals
were detected +ve using commercially available ELISA kit. Semen from 14 bulls out of
ELISA +ve animals was tested for presence of virus by RT-PCR and all the samples were
223
found –ve. Prepucial washings and smegma from the 8 bulls were found negative for
Campylobacteriosis fetus vneralis and Trichomonas.
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, 168 males of XIth
,XIIth
,XIIIth
, XIVth
set & future breeding bulls
Murrah breed (CIRB Hisar, NDRI Karnal, IVRI Bareilly, GADVASU Ludhiana, Khasa
Farm Hisar) were tested for various diseases i.e. Tuberculosis, Johnin Disease,
Brucellosis, IBRT, Leptospirosis, Campylobacteriosis and Trichomoniasis.
In addition, 11 males of Nili Ravi (Sub Campus Nabha) for 5th
set were also tested.
220 females Murrah breed from CIRB Herd, animal spotted purchase for Elanco project
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. Karyotyping of bulls to be carried out.
