A buffalo gave birth to a calf using artificial insemination for the first time in India (IVF).
This is a bunny-breed buffalo.
Six IVF inseminations from the bunny breed buffalo resulted in the first IVF calf.
Three buffaloes of the Bunny breed were prepped for insemination by Vinay L.Vala's scientists at Sushila Agro Farms in Dhanej, Gujarat's Somnath district.
The goal of using this approach to give birth to buffalo calves is to increase the number of genetically good buffaloes so that milk output can grow as well.
The ability of the bunny buffalo to produce more milk even in a dry climate is well-known.
