The ICAR-Directorate of Poultry Research is mandated to carryout the research in frontier areas of poultry production in the country under the umbrella of Indian Council of Agricultural Research. The Directorate is coordinating and monitoring 12 centres of All India coordinated Research Project on Poultry Breeding and 12 centres of Poultry Seed Project. I feel privileged to present the Annual Report of AICRP on Poultry Breeding and PSP for the year 2017-18. The AICRP on Poultry Breeding has been reoriented towards the rural poultry and all the centres are currently working on development of location specific rural chicken varieties suitable for their local conditions. The elite layer and broiler pure lines developed earlier are being maintained for improvement of economic traits and use in development of rural crosses. During the year, a dual purpose variety Himsamridhi was developed and released at CSKHPKVV, Palampur centre for the benefit of hilly and tribal regions of the country. Twelve Poultry Seed Project centres spread across the country are in operation with the aim of increasing the availability of improved germplasm throughout the country. During the current plan two new centres (SVVU, Tirupati and PVNRTVU, Warangal) were added to cater to the needs of the farmers in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The untiring efforts of all the staff of AICRP on Poultry Breeding and Poultry Seed project lead to the effective propagation of backyard poultry. Five success stories have been reported during the year from different centres. During the year 2017-18, a total of 14.86 lakhs of improved chicken germplasm has been distributed to the farmers across the country from different centres of AICRP on Poultry Breeding and Poultry Seed Project. A total of Rs. 436.37 lakhs revenue was generated by supplying improved chicken germplasm by AICRP and PSP Centres. Not Available |
