Red Sindhi cattle are the most popular of all Zebu dairy breeds. The breed originated in the Sindh province of Pakistan, they are widely kept for milk production across Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and other countries.
They have been used for crossbreeding with temperate (European) origin dairy breeds in many countries to combine their tropical adaptations (heat tolerance, tick resistance, disease resistance, fertility at higher temperatures, etc.) with the higher milk production found in temperate regions. It has been crossed with Jerseys in many places, including India, the United States, Australia, Sri Lanka, etc

Buffalo milk export to boost Pakistan’s Forex reserves.
"Pakistan is rich in buffalo breeds, buffalo research, and buffalo milk production. To leverage its advantages and enhance Pakistan-China cooperation in this field, we hope to set up a dairy processing plant in Pakistan,” Chen Yiyi, President of Royal Group, told China-Pakistan Agricultural and Industrial Cooperation Information Platform (CPAIC) after completing a week-long visit to Pakistan.
Gu Wenliang, Agriculture Commissioner of the Chinese Embassy in Pakistan, told the reporter that Pakistan is the fourth largest milk producer in the world, with buffalo milk accounting for 60%.
There are 41 million buffaloes in Pakistan and milk yield is higher than that in China. According to an Economic Survey report of Pakistan’s government, in fiscal year 2019-20, the output of buffalo milk in Pakistan reached 256,000 tons.

Farmers to get American bulls’ semen to improve breeding
SAPM Cheema says move will help cows give 4,900 litres more milk a year
Shahbaz Rana
May 18, 2021
ISLAMABAD: The government has approved a plan to jumpstart the economy through free distribution of American bulls’ semen worth Rs40 billion to improve breeding and preach farmers about changing their crop cultivation practices, the prime minister’s aide said.
“Cows will give the biggest jump to the economy through breed improvement” and will also ensure victory for the government in the next elections, Jamshed Iqbal Cheema, the newly appointed special assistant to PM on food security, said while sharing his plan with a group of journalists.
Three million American exotic sex semen will be freely distributed among farmers every year for the next three years to increase milk production from just four litres to 15 litres a cow, he added.
“This will inject Rs300 billion in the rural economy in the next three years with an investment of only Rs40 billion,” he added.
The plan largely revolves around achieving goals that Prime Minister Imran Khan had set in his first speech after taking oath of the office. It also resembles the agriculture package announced by PTI’s financier Jahangir Tareen.
“If we are able to provide exotic semen free of cost, we will also win the next elections,” Cheema said.
“Some politicians questioned the prime minister that it will take 13 months for a cow to conceive and another nine months to deliver a calf and by that time, general elections will be over,” Cheema revealed.
“My answer to the PM,” Cheema continued, was that giving Rs5,000 bull semen free of cost to a farmer will be like investing in his child’s education, which he will not forget while casting his vote.
He said a Pakistani cow produces 1,100 litres of milk a year as compared to 11,000 litres by an American cow and after using American exotic semen the production will jump to 5,000 litres.
The semen of the bulls would be primarily used to breed cows to give a fillip to milk production, mostly in Punjab. The cows born out of semen straws of the imported bull would give more milk and enhance its production, he added.
He said that there was abundant land in Pakistan but water table was not sufficient to make this land cultivable, the second lowest level for the thickly populated nations after Egypt.
In the next one year, the government will focus on agriculture sector, said Fawad Chaudhry, the federal minister for information, who was also present. The minister said that the agriculture and education sectors suffered the most post-18th Amendment in the Constitution, which devolved these responsibilities to the provinces.
Fawad said that Cheema would complete the task that had been initiated by Tareen.
Pakistan’s agriculture sector has not been able to meet the country’s needs for food, feed and fibre.
New Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin has also vowed to focus on agriculture to achieve over 5% economic growth rate in the next fiscal year, which will be the second last. Year of the PTI government.

Spending last three days at Engro Dairy Farm Nara was a unique experience of staying close to the purity. The experience of staying away from the destruction and distraction of urban life was truly an enlivening understanding that can only be learned by practicing it .

Buffalo embryos imported from Pakistan.
China’s General Administration of Customs issued a notice on the quarantine requirements for buffalo embryos imported from Pakistan.
It means that China and Pakistan have opened a trade channel for the import and export of buffalo embryos, and both countries will make a breakthrough in the process of improving animal husbandry with high-quality genetics.
Chinese experience with Pakistani buffalo dates back to 1974 when Pakistan presented China with 50 Nili-Ravi buffaloes, a world-famous breed of river dairy buffalo, as a national gift.Royal Group is the only listed buffalo milk processing company in China.
According to Derek Qin, Director of Overseas Business Department, Royal Cell Biotechnology (Guangxi) Co. Ltd, the sales volume of buffalo milk in China is about RMB 5 billion. Royal Group’s buffalo milk accounts for about 60 percent of the buffalo milk market in China as a whole.
After joining the “Belt and Road” project pool of China’s National Development and Reform Commission in June this year, Royal Cell’s “China-Pakistan Disease Free Pasture and Breeding Project” was again included in the first batch of agricultural projects under China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) at the third meeting of the China-Pakistan Agricultural Joint Working Group held recently.
“In October 2020, Royal Group officially launched the “Dairy Buffalo Industry Upgrading Project” and established Royal Cell in May 2021.
“Royal Cell opened its first buffalo embryo production and research laboratory in Pakistan in May this year. Currently, the joint venture between Royal Cell and JW Group Pakistan, namely Royal JW Buffalo Industry Company, Ltd., is under registration and the farm construction will start next month.
“JW Group has excellent experience in working with Chinese companies. JW Group recognizes Royal Group’s whole industrial chain layout of milk buffalo in Pakistan, and highly affirms our ‘milk buffalo provenance chip strategy”.
Teng Cuijin, Chairman of Royal Cell Biotechnology told China Economic Net (CEN) in a recent interview that, Royal JW Buffalo Industry Company, Ltd plans to invest US$100 million over five years to build up buffalo farms and the whole supply chain of buffalo milk in Pakistan.
” It is expected to contribute an annual output value of US$90 million and create roughly 1,000 vacancies for Pakistanis in need, ranging from buffalos breeding, crop raising, milking and dairy processing.” In scientific research, we welcome Pakistani research institutions to the laboratory for exchanges and studies. We plan to provide training to local research institutions and universities, and share the technology of embryo production and buffalo breeding with the Pakistani people.”
