Major Progress in Climate-Resilient Milch Cattle Research

In a leap towards making the dairy industry climate change-resilient, the National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI) in Karnal has successfully developed an embryo through gene-editing technology, promising a future where milk production remains steady, even under the most challenging weather conditions. In the next phase of this research, which has been meticulously conducted over the…
NDRI working on climate-resilient buffalo

In view of heat stress among livestock, which is causing reduction in milk production, the ICAR-National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI) is working on climate-resilient, high milk-producing animals using gene-editing technology. Scientists have successfully developed a gene-edited embryo of a buffalo to improve milk and meat production traits. They are now focusing on producing embryos that…
