About Department
The Department has mandates on Research, Teaching and Extension in the area of Animal Genetics & Breeding, Human Resource Development in the area of Animal Genetics & Breeding, consultancy and Development of superior germplasm and its dissemination to farmers and stakeholders involved in Animal Husbandry development in the country.
The Department is involved in conducting research in the areas of Animal Genetics & Breeding including Quantitative Genetics, Cytogenetics and Molecular Genetics. The main thrust areas in research include genetic improvement of indigenous (Sahiwal and Hariana) and Hardhenu cattle through selection for faster multiplication of superior germplasm for the performance improvement of animals, development of animal genetics and breeding methodologies for selection of elite animals , developing genomic based selection and breeding strategies and genetic polymorphism studies for early selection of elite animals.
Facilities
The Department has the state-of-the -art structures for research facilities consists of Advanced labs with latest software facilities, Molecular Genetics Labs, Semen cryopreservation lab, Computer Cell, Livestock Record Cell, Livstock and Poultry Farm. The department has ten Scientists, fiveTechnical officers, three Administrative and two Supporting staffs.
