Royal Group of China informs officials it intends to establish six labs for buffalo IVF; a farm to produce dairy products; and a unit to manage the breeding of bulls
The Royal Group of China on Wednesday informed Pakistan of its intent to establish buffalo milk farming units across the country to produce high quality dairy products, including milk, milk powder, and cheese.

According to a statement, the chief executive of the Chinese company met Planning Minister Asad Umar in Islamabad, as well as other senior officials, and informed them that the Royal Group planned to invest in the buffalo business in Pakistan. He said that the company would establish 6 labs in different cities of Pakistan to produce buffalo embryos through an In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) process, adding it would also establish a semen production unit for buffalos to manage the breeding of bulls.

The CEO said that the company wanted to establish a large buffalo farm free of the highly contagious foot-and-mouth disease, adding that this would enable it to produce high-quality buffalo milk, which could then be processed into powdered milk and mozzarella cheese.

Umar, read the statement, welcomed the group’s plans and assured the CEO of all possible facilitation, stressing that the incumbent Government of Pakistan did not believe in bureaucratic red-tape. He also emphasized that the Planning Ministry and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor Authority were both committed to promoting investment in Pakistan from China.

The minister briefed the Royal Group CEO about the investor facilitation center being developed by the CPEC Authority, saying it would soon be operational and would help to resolve any issues that might impact investors.

I must have been missing something here. I thought it is COWs that produce milk, not BULLs. Why do you need a dedicate unit to breed bulls?

They are probably trying to modify the genetics of bull so their offspring create more milk?

Possible. But wouldn't it be also true to modify the genetics of cows? I wonder why bulls are treat in such a special way as getting their own lab. Rest assured that I am not complainting about gender inequality.

Sperm quality?

Sperm quality?

What about egg quality?

Well I think it's because with one bull you can inseminate multiple cows with modified semen? idk maybe semen is easier to extract or store? Maybe because once a cow is pregnant you have to wait x months before it can create another egg for you to alter whereas bulls are always generating semen?

Good question though.

Thanks. Just as another friend relied with a video, it is effectively a sperm farm.

This can result in destruction of native breeds. Our native breeds can survive the harsh climatic conditions of our environment. There is a huge push back going on in various parts of India with regards to foreign breeds and ivt. They are costly as hell as well to maintain.

Unless you are raising your cows in air conditioned environment, they still need to survive the harsh climatic conditions as the native breeds. Actually, these unfortunate creatives are created for human consumption. They are always less capable in surviving in wild nature. But people still prefer them over the wild ones, much like nobody eats wild boars but plenty consume pigs.

Kinda yes. Our temperature goes to +40 like 4-5 months a year and stays above 30 for the rest of the year. Jersey cows in US are kept in air conditioned rooms for comfort. The temperature in US except some regions are rarely 35+.
Some states have already tried them in India and they are a failure due to high maintenance costs. They give high milk yield for sure initially but unless you have money to build an air conditioning shed, they have no chance.

Artificial insemination is very common in Pakistan

I meant ivt with regards to foreign breeds. It's pretty common here as well with native breeds.

Good Lord! I don't have money to install a greenhouse and they air condition their cows?!

Agreed. For it to be successful they'll have to use desi breeds, or other breeds used to the climate.
