Training and extension are one of the core activities of the Group. Aware of the fact that proper awareness creation is pivotal in achieving progress in dairying, NDDB has developed various types of extension material namely, Handbook of good dairy husbandry practices, Ethnoveterinary medicine (EVM) booklets, posters and videos, Understanding your bovine booklet, awareness videos… Continue reading Animal Welfare
EVM formulations for approximately 30 common bovine ailments are being propagated by NDDB. This approach utilizes ingredients commonly available in farmers’ households, making it extremely cost-effective and accessible even in remote areas. From over 1 million cases documented, an overall cure rate exceeding 80% has been recorded. NDDB also supports milk unions and producer companies… Continue reading Research and Development
NDDB is implementing a comprehensive One Health model for brucellosis control that creates linkages between animal and human cases. The approach emphasizes identification of infected animals, disinfection of premises, proper disposal of aborted fetuses and placenta. The vaccination is being carried out under the National Animal Disease Control Programme (NADCP). The model has facilitated testing… Continue reading One Health Projects

Launching of Unified Genotyping chip for cattle and buffaloes: NDDB in collaboration with ICAR-National Bureau of Animal Genetic Resources (ICAR-NBAGR), National Institute of Animal Biotechnology (NIAB), and BAIF Development Research Foundation (BAIF) led the development of two customized genotyping chips i.e. “GAUCHIP” and “MAHISHCHIP” for cattle and buffaloes, respectively to provide genotyping services at… Continue reading Innovations and Achievements
Ovum pick-up, In vitro embryo production and Embryo Transfer (OPU-IVEP-ET) technology which is widely used for propagating superior bovine dairy genetics, holds immense promise for transforming the dairy landscape in India. NDDB’s OPU-IVEP-ET facility is focussed to enhance the efficiency of the technique for both cattle and buffaloes. The centre is acting as a hub… Continue reading Implementation of Assisted Reproductive Technologies
Genomic selection has become an established and valuable tool for identifying high-potential animals at an early age based on Genomic Breeding Values (GBV). This provides a more accurate approach for selection than traditional phenotype based assessments. NDDB initiated genomic selection by developing genotyping chips (INDUSCHIP and BUFFCHIP) for major Indian dairy cattle and buffalo breeds.… Continue reading Implementation of Genomic Selection in Cattle and Buffalo
