Facility to determine sex of calf in Bhopal
Madhya Pradesh has become the second state in the country after Uttarakhand to have developed a facility to predetermine the sex of a calf. Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan recently inaugurated the state-of-the-art sex-sorted semen production laboratory at the Central Semen Station in Bhadbhada in Bhopal. Set up at a cost of `47.50 crore under the umbrella organisation of National Gokul Mission, the laboratory will store sorted semen in liquid nitrogen for a period of time. Depending on demand, the frozen semen straw of the desired sex can be inseminated in cows. While the cost of semen straw in the international market is around 13 US dollars, the Madhya Pradesh government will make them available for the farmers at a subsidised rate.
