Key Initiatives by FonGrow Cattle Breed Improvement and Research Centre

Import of Superior Genetics

This organization has imported high-quality cattle from Brazil. These are the world-renowned cattle breeds for milk and meat production.  These breeds include:

• Dairy Breeds: Gir, Girolando, Holstein Friesian, and Jersey.
• Beef Breeds: Brahman, Angus, Wagyu, and Guzera.
• Dual-Purpose Breeds: Red Sindhi, Bhagnari, Cholistani, White Nelore, and Painted Nelore.

These cattle breeds have exceptional milk and meat yield potential. The germplasm and embryo of these breeds will improve the genetic potential of local breeds and nondescript breeds.
