Artificial Insemination (AI) plays a vital role in improving the genetic quality of dairy herds. Through AI, we help farmers breed animals with superior genetic potential, increasing milk production. Each year, 9,000 to 10,000 calves are born through our AI programs. We use sex-sorted semen and imported semen straws with high genetic capacity to ensure that the next generation of dairy animals has the potential for higher milk production.
Rajarambapu Patil Milk Union has established a Farmer Producer Organization (FPO)under the Central Sector Scheme for the promotion of 10,000 FPOs. This initiative, in collaboration with NDDB, focuses on fodder production and animal husbandry activities as business propositions. The FPO engages in the production and sale of green fodder, silage, crop residues, fodder seeds, and feed supplements. It also supports other animal husbandry activities to improve the livelihoods of dairy farmers.
Our veterinary services are committed to ensuring the health and prosperity of both dairy animals and farmers. By offering cutting-edge technology, preventive healthcare, and robust support programs, we aim to strengthen the dairy industry and enhance milk production.
Under the Rashtriya Gokul Mission and with the support of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), we have implemented the Accelerated Breed Improvement Programme (ABIP-IVF-ET). This initiative aims to enhance productivity through in vitro fertilization (IVF) technology. The project seeks to establish 100 pregnancies using embryos from high-genetic-worth females and sexed semen of high-genetic-merit bulls.
The first embryo transfer under this program was successfully completed in September 2022 in Kalamwadi and Bagani villages. The birth of the first female calf, named Laxmi, in Bagani Village marked a proud moment for the union.
Our veterinary services focus on four major pillars of animal husbandry, providing a complete support system for dairy farmers
We enhance conception rates through advanced breeding techniques and Artificial Insemination (AI).
Our calf rearing program helps farmers raise healthy, high-yielding progeny, contributing to the future productivity of their herds.
We assist farmers in acquiring high-yield animals, improving herd productivity and profitability.
Proper nutrition is essential for healthy, productive dairy animals. Our feeding programs include
We provide high-quality cattle feed to member farmers to ensure their animals’ health and productivity.
These mixtures help balance the diet of dairy animals, improving their overall health and increasing milk yields.
We promote fodder development by supplying fodder seeds, chaff cutters, and straw treatment methods to improve feed quality.
Our animal healthcare services focus on preventive care and proactive treatments
We conduct large-scale vaccination programs to protect animals against common diseases like Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) and Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD). In 2023-2024, we vaccinated 84,723 animals against FMD and 36,410 animals against LSD.
We offer support for preventing and controlling mastitis, a disease that affects milk production and quality.
Our fully equipped lab enables timely and accurate diagnosis of animal diseases, ensuring prompt treatment.
In collaboration with the NDDB, we have launched the Mastitis Control Popularization Project to combat the widespread issue of mastitis, which affects 20-30% of India’s dairy animals. This disease results in reduced milk production and increased treatment costs for farmers.
Promoting EVM as a cost-effective and sustainable solution for treating mastitis and other diseases.
Implementing a field-level program to identify and treat subclinical mastitis, a form that often goes unnoticed by farmers.
Monitoring the quality of milk through antibiotic residue tests, somatic cell counts, and aflatoxin testing.
Providing posters, handouts, and training materials to help farmers detect and manage mastitis and other diseases using EVM.
