India's first foal developed through the combination of frozen semen and Embryo transfer technology

  • Scientists at Equine Production Campus, Regional Station, ICAR-National Research Centre on Equines, Bikaner, Rajasthan for the first time in the country have produced a horse foal using an admixture of two technologies viz. frozen semen technology and Embryo transfer technology. 
  • This foal developed through these assisted reproductive technologies has been named ‘Raj-Himani’.
  • This foal will greatly benefit the farmers, equine rearers involved in racing, sports, and other commercial activities for replicating their own elite horses or elite animals having reproductive disorders.
