IVF Lab Inaugurated at Vet Varsity By TTD Chairman

 TTD Chairman Sri YV Subba Reddy on Wednesday inaugurated the newly constructed In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) laboratory in SV Veterinary University at Tirupati.

 

Speaking on the occasion, the Chairman said, TTD has allotted Rs.3.80crore towards setting up this lab. The aim behind this is to increase the milk produced from the indigenous cows and enhance the preparation of prasadams in Govinduniki Goadharita Naivedyam - the prestigious program commenced by TTD last May. Every day TTD required 3000 liters of milk. At present we are receiving only 500 liters of milk. To meet our requirements we need to improve the milk produced from the desi cows. "Through this embryo technology, we can improve the milk produced in desi breeds. This will help to increase the milk production per cow from the present 5-6litres to 10 liters. This would help TTD to continue the Goadharita Naivedyam programme forever", he added.

 

EO Dr. KS Jawahar Reddy, JEO Sri Veerabrahmam, Veterinary University VC Sri Padmanabha Reddy, SVIMS Director Dr. Vengamma, and others were present. Earlier they visited the lab and were briefed on its mode of functioning.
