NATIONAL PROJECT FOR CATTLE AND BUFFALO BREEDING

With a view to cover the entire breedable cattle of the state through AI programme using frozen semen, the Government of India is sponsoring the National Project for Cattle & Buffalo Breeding (NPCBB). 

The KLD Board has been nominated as the State Implementing Agency (SIA) of this 100% Centrally Sponsored Scheme.

Through the implementation of NPCBB in Kerala, the State expects to achieve a better AI coverage through which the genetic potential of the animals are expected to increase. Milk production being the major requirement from cattle, the basic goal of genetic improvement would be for milk production traits.
