GADVASU Receives Elite Murrah Calf Donation
A kind farmer named Shiv Kumar Redhu from Haryana gave a special baby buffalo to a university called GADVASU in Punjab.
This buffalo is very special because it has great genes and comes from a family of buffaloes that produce a lot of milk.
The farmer has been working on improving buffaloes for a long time.
The university is happy to receive this gift because it will help them make better buffaloes in the future.
GADVASU received a one-year-old elite Murrah calf from Haryana dairy farmer Shiv Kumar Redhu.
The calf has exceptional genetic potential, supported by multi-generation performance records and DNA-verified parentage.
The calf belongs to a highly productive female line that has been part of Redhu’s Murrah improvement efforts for over 15 years.
The donation aims to strengthen Murrah buffalo genetics in the northern region.
The calf was donated free of cost from Balak village in Hisar, Haryana.
