MOU between India and
Brazil for cooperation in Zebu Cattle Genomics and ARTs
The Union Cabinet was apprised of
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between India and Brazil for
cooperation in the fields of Zebu Cattle Genomics and Assisted Reproductive
Technologies.
The MoU will promote development of
genomics and Assistant Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) in cattle through joint
activities between the two countries.
An
implementation committee would be created with an equal number of
representatives of each party for determining the activities and developing
work plans and subsequently their evaluation.
It will be
done through joint projects in the fields of productivity improvement of cattle
and buffaloes, for the purpose of broadening the existing knowledge base on
sustainable dairy development and institutional strengthening.
The MoU would facilitate scientific
cooperation and setting up of genomic selection programme in zebu cattle.
This would be
done through application of genomics in zebu cattle and their crosses and
buffaloes; application of ARTs in cattle and buffaloes; capacity building in
genomics and assisted reproductive technology; and related R&D in genomics
and ART.
