The scientists of the ICAR-National Dairy Research Institute (ICAR-NDRI) and GB Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand, have jointly produced Uttarakhand’s state cattle breed Badri calf using ovum pick-up and in-vitro fertilisation (OPU-IVF) technology. This calf was produced through surrogacy in Uttarakhand. An embryo of Badri cattle was developed in a lab and later transferred to a Sahiwal cow for surrogacy.
