Study of ancient literature reveals that rivers of milk and curd were flown in the ancient India. The availability of high yielding Kamdhenu and Nandini breed of Cattle with our ancestors may be the reason of this. Animal Husbandry together with Agriculture is backbone of the economy of the State of Uttarakhand. The State Government is implementing Fodder Bank Project, Krishi Mahotsava- Sarkar Kisan Ke Dwar programs etc. for the overall development of Agriculture along with Animal Husbandry in the State. The farmers are directly and indirectly getting benefits from these programs. The Uttarakhand Livestock Development Board is playing a pivotal role in implementing these programs in the State. Conservation, propagation & multiplication of endangered breed of Red Sindhi Cattle through use of embryo transfer technology, distribution of nutritious compact fodder blocks in economic manner through Fodder Bank project, gau mutra ark production etc. are the activities implemented by board are needed great applaud. In the very short span of working by establishing one ISO 9001:2008 and HACCP certified deep frozen semen production center, two semen banks, 1312 artificial insemination centers, 2378 natural breeding centers, embryo biotechnology research & training center, two fodder banks, 47 sub fodder banks, 60 fodder grass nurseries and two training centers the ULDB is implementing breed improvement program, fodder development program, embryo transfer program and human resource development in successful manner. In the active leadership of ULDB the development of Animal Breeding Farm, Kalsi as a center of excellence for animal husbandry and allied activity is not only providing training to the farmers of the State but also providing hands on practical demonstration of animal husbandry and farming activities to the professionals and non-professionals of other States. I congratulate the members of the Board and the officers & staff of the ULDB & animal husbandry department towards making implementation of various programs a success. I believe that this publication will prove to be a useful document for professionals, non- professionals, organizations working in the field of animal husbandry. I wish the publication of this Annual Report all the success. (Trivendra Singh Rawat) Vinita Kumar (I.A.S.)

Alike the previous year's the board is publishing its Annual Report for the year 2010-11. The State Government has created Uttarakhand Livestock Development Board for the implementation of centrally sponsored National Project for Cattle and Buffalo Breeding in the State of Uttarakhand. Under breed improvement program the Uttarakhand Livestock Development is ensuring continuous non-interrupted door step delivery of quality frozen semen, Liquid nitrogen and other artificial insemination inputs to artificial insemination centers through two regional semen banks. For ensuring quality of frozen semen the deep frozen semen production center is accredited with ISO 9001:2008 and HACCP certification. The State is not only self reliant on frozen semen doses but also fulfilling requirement of other States. The Assam Livestock Development Agency has deputed Uttarakhand Livestock Development Board as consultant for the establishment of Frozen Semen Bull Station at Barapeta, Assam. The Uttarakhand Livestock Development Board is implementing embryo transfer technology program for the conservation and propagation of Red Sindhi breed of indigenous cattle and production of pure Holstein Frisian and Jersey from the imported embryos. The identification of elite milch animals through field performance recording program is benefitting the livestock owners of the State through increased sale price of the identified animals and their progenies. The board is implementing progeny testing program for analyzing the production potential of the progenies born through artificial insemination in buffaloes. Apart from implementing breed improvement program the Uttarakhand Livestock Development Board is also implementing Fodder Bank Project. Round the year availability of nutritious fodder is ensured through establishment of two compact fodder block manufacturing units and sub fodder banks. Uttarakhand Livestock Development Board is providing training to the farmers, professionals, para-professionals on latest scientific animal husbandry and allied subjects at its Pashulok and Kalsi Training Centers. I extend my sincere thanks to Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying & Fisheries, Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India for extending their active and timely support to Uttarakhand Livestock Development Board for the implementation of National Project for Cattle & Buffalo Breeding in the State of Uttarakhand. I wish good luck to Uttarakhand Livestock Development Board.
