The Central Government has launched the e-Pashu Haat Portal (www.epashuhaat.gov.in) for connecting breeders and farmers of indigenous breeds. Through the portal, farmers can obtain information on the location of quality indigenous germplasm in the form of live animals, semen doses, and embryos. This portal is playing a crucial role in the development and conservation of indigenous breeds.
At present, there is no authentic market for bovine germplasm in the form of semen, embryos, male and female calves, heifers, or adult bovines. Farmers depend on middlemen for the sale and purchase of quality germplasm.
Breed-wise information on the availability of bovine germplasm is not available, which is essential for the promotion of indigenous bovine breeds.
Farmers and breeders can sell indigenous breeds through this portal. Information on all forms of germplasm has been uploaded to the portal. Immediately, farmers can obtain benefits from the portal.
