In a concerted effort to promote sustainable livestock development in Trespone, Dr. Gulzar Hussain, Chief Animal Husbandry Officer of Kargil, distributed cattle feed to approximately 175 local cow breeders who have embraced artificial insemination technology to enhance calf production.

This initiative aims to reward and motivate breeders for adopting artificial insemination, a method that significantly improves breeding outcomes and overall cattle productivity.

Organized by the Animal Husbandry Department of Kargil, this distribution serves to showcase the benefits of artificial insemination, which enhances genetic quality and ensures more predictable breeding results. By employing this technique, breeders can achieve more efficient reproduction rates and improved animal health, ultimately bolstering the productivity and economic stability of livestock-rearing communities.

The feed distribution acts not only as an incentive for current users of artificial insemination but also raises awareness among other breeders regarding the advantages of advanced breeding technologies.

Dr. Hussain emphasized that this initiative aligns with the department’s long-term vision to modernize the livestock sector, ensuring that animal husbandry practices keep pace with evolving technologies. He noted that artificial insemination is a sustainable and practical breeding option that, when combined with proper nutrition and care, can significantly enhance milk production, animal health, and income generation for local farmers.

Beneficiaries from Trespone Village expressed their gratitude for the department’s proactive efforts, highlighting that such support encourages them to engage in programs that introduce innovation and growth to traditional breeding practices.

The Animal Husbandry Department plans to further promote and expand artificial insemination and related initiatives throughout Kargil, ensuring continued support for livestock breeders and enhancing the resilience and productivity of the sector.

This initiative reflects the department’s commitment to advancing animal husbandry practices in Kargil district, laying the groundwork for a more productive, sustainable, and economically viable future for livestock farmers in the region.
