India adopted the main recommendation that there should be only one herd book for a single breed in each country and that the emphasis should be on pedigree and production records. Accordingly, necessary steps were taken to lay down breed and production standards for several breeds of national importance and to open their herd books. Major activities envisaged under the programme were:

(i) To advise the State Government on breeding Programmes and the maintenance and utilization of records, and (ii) To collect and publish the records of all cattle registered in the Herd Book to enable inter- farm and inter-breeder exchange of animals for breed improvement. About Herd Books have since been opened for 7 breeds of indigenous cattle and 3 breeds of us buffaloes of national importance. All animals, which conform to the breed characteristics and which have production above the minimum standards laid down, are eligible for registration in the Herd Book. The breeds of cattle and buffaloes for which Herd Book have been opened and their production standards laid down are as follows:

With partition of the country, home tracts of Sindhi, Sahiwal and Tharparkar breeds have become part of Pakistan. The Herd Book of these breeds, however, are still being maintained as there are large number of animals of these breeds at various organised farms in the country established to upgrade local populations. It was felt that proper foundation for livestock improvement could be laid if breeders were encouraged gradually to take up this work through breed societies. The extension of herd registration in the breeding tracts of important breeds and formation of breed societies were, therefore, considered essential to further provide necessary expanded of registration to important breeding tracts and formation of breed societies taken up during the Third Five Year Plan, was a result of this policy decision.

Under this scheme, a combined Hariana and Murrah Unit was established at Rohtak in 1962. This unit operated in the States of Haryana, Delhi, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. During the Fourth Plan, it was considered desirable to establish similar units for the improvement of other important breeds. Under the expanded programme a combined unit for Gir and Kankrej cattle and surti buffaloes was established at Ahmedabad. This unit operated in Gujarat and Maharashtra. At the end of Fifth Plan two more units in Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh were established

The shortage of pedigree bulls of high genetic make up as always been a major handicap for all cattle development projects. It has also been realised that organised cattle breeding farms alone cannot meet the requirements of breeding bulls and that the bulls produced by breeders in the breeding tracts have also to be located and utilised. Herd Registration Programme is an important programme under which bulls male calves/heifers of known pedigree and production potential have been identified and recorded in the breeding tracts with individual breeders.

There has been a demand for Indian cattle and buffaloes form South Asian, African and Middle East countries. Mostly heifers, breed able cattle, pregnant cows and bulls/bull calves are exported. In order to ensure and develop market for Indian cattle and buffaloes, it is necessary that only animals of know pedigree and potential are exported. In this case also the Herd Registration Organization can play an important role in making available animals for export from the field.

1. To locate superior germ plasm in the farm and Breeding tracts through milk recording and registration of Animals. 2. To introduce systematic recording in the breeding tracts. 3. To study the production records collected in the breeding tracts and organized Objective cattle farms & lay down standard for selection. 4. To collect and publish the Production and breeding data of all registered animals of the for general guidance and inter-farms Inter-breeder exchange of Animals. Scheme 5. To regulate sale/purchase and Import of cattle and buffaloes to ensure and enforce quality control. 6. To propagate and awaken consciousness amongst the breeders to improve their economics through Livestock improvement by Constant publicity and incentive and formation of Breeders Association.

There should be no more than two missing milk recording for the animals under consideration. ANIMALS IN 5.

If the animals qualifies for the Standard lactation yield, the incentive Money will be awarded to the owner of the Animals in the form of DD 10. The formula for calculation of estimated lactation yield is as follows:-

No. 57-24/79-LDT(HB) Dtaed 31.3.1980 This scheme has played a significant role in assisting State Government, government Undertaking, cooperative Dairies and Private Breeders procuring dairy animals and sires of high genetic potentialities for the use in their Cattle/buffalo improvement programmes. The Breeders have also been benefited by getting higher price for their registered animals and its progeny specially bull calves/bulls of Gir breed. Thus they are encouraged to Any produce more good animals.

other CHRS can contribute significantly to NPCBB by meeting part requirement of high quality bulls of informat local cattle and buffalo breeds for the existing and new semen stations for providing artificial insemination services as well as for the on-going and new local breed development programmes ion for providing breeding services using bulls for natural services. It can enhance its scope of related recording of elite cows by helping farmers in feeding, management and health-care of their animals. The data collected under HRS can also be used for advising farmers on culling decisions as to well as for selling and buying of animals. CHRS can also think of establishing self-help groups to channelize credit to participating farmers for buying of animals. It can enhance its scope from concern recording of elite animals to provide decision support to participating farmers by focusing in a few ed Unit. selected villages in the native tracts of indigenous breeds of cattle and buffaloes and taking maximum number of animals of various breeds under recording within the selected villages instead of recording of elite animals in many scattered villages as has hitherto been done under CHRS.
