Parl panel flags dearth of semen production, tardy pace of Artificial Insemination programme

A parliamentary panel has observed that India's Artificial Insemination program faces hurdles due to low semen production and a shortage of trained personnel. Currently, only 30% of breedable bovines are covered, lagging behind developed nations. The panel recommends nationwide availability of sex-sorted semen to boost female progeny and address stray cattle issues.
