  • Developed a crossbred cattle population “Vrindavani” (Holstein Friesian + Brown Swiss + Jersey 50-75% and Hariana 25-50%) suitable to local agroclimatic conditions.
  • Developed a new crossbred variety “Landlly” (Landrace 75 % and Local 25 %) of pigs. It was released by Shri Radha Mohan Singh Ji, Hon’ble Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, GOI on occasion of Annual Conference of VCs & Directors at NASC Complex, New Delhi on 8th March 2018.
  • Characterized, documented and registered Ghurrah breed of pig (INDIA_PIG_2000_GHURRAH_09008). Registration certificate was received from the Hon'ble Union Minister of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Shri Radha Mohan Singh Ji on 12th December 2018 at Krishi Bhawan, New Delhi.

Registration certificate was received from the Hon'ble Union Minister of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Shri Radha Mohan Singh Ji on 12th December 2018 at Krishi Bhawan, New Delhi.Group milk feeding (GMF) device with facility to suckle 6 kids at a time was developed to rear orphan kids. GMF had higher body weight gain than bottle feeding system.
  • Scope of 50% reduction in floor space as compared to BIS standards was investigated for crossbred pigs without affecting growth performance.
  • Inclusion of 15% sugarcane press mud in ration had no deleterious effect on production performance in crossbred pigs.
  • Thatch and agronet shade material helped in better relieving the stress during summer season, while only agronet helped in rainy season from the hot and humid condition.
  • Total milk production was 15.63% higher in thrice milked cows than twice milked cows. Milk composition did not differ significantly between two treatments except for SNF% which was significantly higher for twice milked cows.
  • Open area with sand bed with either concrete or rubber mat in covered area improved animal welfare in terms of decreasing lameness, hoof and leg injuries and increasing lying ruminating time.
  • Provision of cooling jacket with high speed air circulator fan helped in reducing microclimate variables favoring ADG, FCR, physiological and important haemato-biochemical parameters of buffalo heifers.
