Activities

Semen Production

Our core operation is Frozen Semen production & Sales, where we provide high genetic merit bulls’ frozen semen. ABC is committed to producing superior quality frozen semen from high-pedigreed bulls using eco-friendly state-of-the-art infrastructure and an effective Quality Management System. ABC is one of the largest semen-producing station in the country and produced 8.5 million semen doses during 2021-22.

Since its inception, we have made significant progress and a variety of reproductive technologies have become commonplace, with notable effects. Superior gains with frozen semen are accomplished by keeping high genetic merit bulls at the semen stations and providing quality AI semen doses. There is a greater breadth of surveillance for health, biosecurity, resource efficiency, and production maximization.

As a professionally managed semen station that closely complies with the Minimum Standards Protocols (MSP), we have necessary bio-security procedures in place to produce disease-free semen, which is the foundation of any genetic enhancement program. As a result, we manufacture quality frozen semen to assure improved fertility and faster genetic advancement.

Proper disease testing, vaccination and de-worming etc are carried out on a regular basis to prevent infections. For prevention of diseases on the farm, ring vaccination is carried out in all villages falling within a 10 Km radius, covering around 150000 animals.

Artificial insemination has long been utilized as a strategy for quick genetic improvement of the country’s Dairy Animal’s stock. In the current context, where the country is working to close the demand-supply gap for milk, expanded use of AI is critical to improving the productivity of dairy animals in the country. NDDB Dairy Services Semen Stations have played an important role in steering our country to evolve as the top milk-producing nation in the world.

Breeding operations in the country are constrained by operational restrictions, therefore semen production stations must equip themselves with the technology to analyze and process semen so that there is little deterioration in its intrinsic fertility. The cost of producing a high-quality product includes both financial and human resources. As a result, the time has come to create more efficient and effective structures that focus on providing value to the product while minimizing expenses.

Recognizing the contribution of the organization in the production of high-quality bovine genetics, the central monitoring unit constituted by the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying (DAHD) has awarded our station, Grade ‘A’ since 2005. The Quality Management Systems at ABC meet the ISO 9001-2015 Standards since 2007 as Certified by the Bureau Veritas Certification of India.

Given the foregoing, our semen production facility attempts to establish and constantly revalidate semen collecting and processing processes that use acceptable viability parameters that are compatible with guidelines. Furthermore, our in-house quality audit and successful application of Quality Management Systems contribute to continuous product and service improvement, resulting in increased customer satisfaction. This guarantees that a high-quality product is continually developed and supplied via careful planning and execution.

Fodder Production

More than 70% of the Indian population lives in rural regions, and animals are essential for subsistence farming and long-term survival. Climate, topography, physiography, altitude, and other variables have altered the distribution of diverse crop and grass species, which influence both qualitative and quantitative fodder and forage output.

ABC holds 241 acres of land, out of these 78 hectares of land are utilised exclusively for fodder production to meet the nutrient requirement of animals and to produce/multiply fodder seed. A total of about 78 hectares of irrigated land is cultivated for growing different fodder crops like sorghum, maize, Lucerne, cowpea, sugar beet etc. to cater to the requirement of good quality roughages for the herd around the year.

To fulfil demand during the lean season, fodder crops are conserved as silage and hay. An animal production system’s economics and viability are heavily reliant on its fodder production programs. Despite the obstacles given by severe climate, soil, and water salinity, improved resource management and agricultural mechanization have resulted in an increase in fodder output.

Almost all of the processes at our farm are mechanized, including ploughing, seedbed preparation, fertilizer broadcasting, inter-cultivation, harvesting, and cutting of green fodder. In contrast, watering of fodder crops is done with sprinklers and rain guns, which helps to save water.

Animal Sales

With SAG Live, farmers will be able to get superior quality true to the breed female animals. Farmers can choose animal as per their requirement in terms of milk production and management practices. These certified disease-free females which can further be improved by use of “SAG” Branded Frozen Semen Doses. This will result in better yield, faster genetic improvement, and economic upliftment of millions of farmers of our country. Farmers will have the option to choose animals from all major breeds of our country such as Gir, Sahiwal, Rathi, Tharparkar, HF, Jersey as well as HF and Jersey crossbred with Gir and Sahiwal. Through SAG Live, we are truly committed to improve the socioeconomic condition of dairy farmers at the most grassroots level.

Bull Evaluation

To sustain and improve the productivity of the bovine population, the prime need is to produce High Genetic Merit bulls through progeny testing programmes and finally disseminate the semen doses produced from these bulls to the farmers.

Considering the huge demand for quality Murrah genetics, ABC is implementing a progeny testing programme for Murrah buffaloes in Baghpat District in Uttar Pradesh.
Around 670 High Genetic Merit (HGM), Murrah buffalo bulls have produced through the programme by the year 2022.

ABRO HONEY
In the line with the vision of supplementing the income of milk producers, ABRO has taken up a research base pilot project demonstrating the crucial role of bees in the growth of fodder crops i.e maize, Bajra, Jowar, etc. for milking animals. In the process, the farmers get sweet honey that can be monetized to enhance income and raise their living standards.

At our farm, we extract raw honey and other bees product from the apiary to provide the nutritional bees product to the people. Raw honey and bee products are one of the oldest products known to mankind and are still relevant after thousands of years. Raw Honey has high nutritional value and miraculous healing properties. Our scientific beekeeping has enabled the availability of raw honey which is not usually accessible in shops.

Additionally, we also manufacture value-added products such as bee wax cream, beeswax soap, bee wax candles etc. They are produced under hygienic conditions by our experts who have completed Doctoral Degrees in the field of entomology and have vast experience from Israel and Germany.

Ethno Veterinary Medicine Practices (EVM):

EVM is a holistic practice that involves local people’s knowledge, skills, methods, sociocultural structures, and environment associated with practices and beliefs about the care of their animal’s healthcare and husbandry. EVM is generally cost-effective, environment-friendly, and sustainable for a specific area. The knowledge is acquired through practical experience and has traditionally been passed down orally from generation to generation. We at Animal Breeding Centre are not only putting this traditional knowledge to practice but also taking up the social responsibility to preserve, propagate and integrate this ancient traditional way of life into our daily activities

Vermicomposting: A sustainable solution to improve soil quality and reduce input cost

Soils should be alive and home to millions of beneficial bacteria and other microorganisms to make them healthy and for crops to yield well. Agriculture based on indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers will gradually degrade the soil quality ultimately impacting the crop yield output. Vermicomposting produces fertilizer and soil conditioner which has a high porosity, water-holding capacity, and nutrient status. It has great potential as organic fertilizer with effectiveness like fertilizers. This process also generates high biomass of manure worms, which can also add up, to the financial value. We understand the necessity to reduce the burden of organic agricultural waste management and thus adopted vermicomposting as a means for a faster system for breaking down organic waste than traditional composting approaches, allowing effective management of large organic waste burdens.

Biogas Production: Our commitment to “Climate and Clean Air Solution”

Biogas is a fully renewable and environmentally friendly fuel that can help to reduce life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% compared with fossil fuel use. We can use Biogas for many purposes as transportation fuel, natural gas, and also as energy for several industries. On our way to be the country’s “First Carbon Footprint Free Semen Station,” we have installed an 80 MT unit for biogas production as a means to boost our “Circular Economy”. This Biogas Unit has made our semen station completely self-sufficient in terms of “Clean Energy Production” by cutting down methane emissions and producing renewable energy, making it a smart and valuable climate and clean air energy solution.
