Summary notes:
BAIF Development Research Foundation's farm at Urlikanchan (India) has been producing cross-bred cattle for almost 20 years. In 1975, it began to experiment with semen freezing technology and has now produced almost 10 of the national cross-bred dairy herd, operating some 500 cattle development centres in which 1.5 million families participate in six States. The BAIF programme has expanded to embrace animal health and nutrition. It participates in several national research programmes. Its cross-breeding programme has been externally evaluated as one of the most efficient in India, and links with central and state government programmes are set to expand.;
