ICAR-KVK Goa Organizes ‘Khet Bachao Abhiyan-cum-Field Day’ on Nutri-Hormonal Therapy for Managing Repeat Breeding in Dairy Cows

ICAR-Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) Goa, alongside ICAR-CCARI and collaborative agencies, organized a 'Khet Bachao Abhiyan-cum-Field Day' focusing on nutri-hormonal therapy for managing repeat breeding in dairy cows at Ibrampur village, Pernem. The event highlighted soil health preservation, soil-test-based fertilizer application, integrated crop-livestock farming, and organic manure utilization such as vermicompost. Officials detailed an ICAR-CCARI-recommended nutri-hormonal therapy achieving conception rates of approximately 66% in crossbred cows. Institutional credit facilities, agricultural subsidies, and successful farmer experiences in vermicomposting and dairy farming were also discussed, alongside the distribution of pump sprayers and vermicompost to participants.
