Mumbai, September 1: Union Minister for Animal Husbandry Giriraj Singh on Saturday said the government will introduce "sex-sorted semen" technology to ensure that more female calves are born in the country. Speaking at an event organised by Mother Dairy, Giriraj Singh said the government will set up a factory that will only produce female calves. The minister said the move will increase farmers' income.

"In the coming days, through insemination, the calves that will be born would only be female ones, through (doses of) sex-sorted semen," Singh said. "In the year 2019-2020, we will distribute 30 lakh doses of sex-sorted semen. By 2025, we will have distributed 10 crore doses, that will ensure almost 10 crore cows," he added. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader said the "sex-sorted semen" technology will be as if cows are being produced in a "factory".

"We will build a cow factory," Singh said. He also said that the cows which cease to give milk will be made more productive through "IV embryo advanced technology". The minister said that such a technology will economically benefit the farmers. "We will use IVF Technology so that the cows which have stopped giving milk, will start producing 20 litres of it. We will bring a revolution," he said.
Uttarakhand, in March, became the country's first state to produce sex-sorted semen, which can enhance the possibility of birth of female calves to ninety per cent.
