The ambitious project taken up by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) and Sri Venkateswara Veterinary University (SVVU) to promote indigenous cattle breeds has succeeded in bringing to life the State’s first ‘Sahiwal’ breed calf, born through surrogacy.
The calf from the donor cow and bull, both Sahiwal breed, was born to a surrogate cow of the Ongole breed here on Saturday evening. Ten more pregnant cows are ready to spawn calves in the next few days.
