OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF MAITRIS(Multipurpose Artificial Insemination Technician in Rural India ) UNDER RASHTRIYA GOKUL MISSION

Introduction

https://mldb.maharashtra.gov.in/pdf/Operational%20Guidelines%20MAITRI_15092020.pdf

Artificial insemination is important tool for enhancing milk production and productivity of bovines. After making several efforts AI coverage in the country is still limited to 30% of the breedable bovines and 70% of the breedable animals are covered through scrub bulls of unknown genetic merit. In developed nations 100% of the bovine population is under Artificial insemination coverage.

One of important impediment in extending AI coverage in the country is shortage of trained AI technicians. For effective AI coverage about 2,02,469 AI technicians will be required against this 1,16,586 AI technicians are available in the country leaving a gap of 90958 AI technicians.

The primary focus of the project is to enhance productivity of existing bovine population by increasing Artificial Insemination coverage through establishment of Multi Purpose Artificial Insemination Technicians in Rural India (MAITRIs) to deliver artificial insemination services at farmers doorstep on self sustainable basis through collection of cost of goods and services. Benefit of the project directly accrue to 90958 educated rural youth and about 8.12 crore farmers engaged in dairying will get indirect benefit in terms of increased productivity and milk production.

2. Objectives of the Project

The objective of the project is to:

Provide quality training to educated rural youth to deliver artificial insemination services and veterinary first aid at farmers’ doorstep on self sustainable
Enhancing AI coverage from 30% to 70% of the breedable bovine females in a time bound manner;
Establishment of AI technicians through provisions of AI equipments/consumables after training

3. Rationale for Establishment of MAITRIs:

Shortage of trained manpower:

One of important impediment in extending AI coverage in the country is shortage of trained AI technicians with required skill. The States like Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Haryana have sufficient number of AI technicians as per requirement and AI coverage is more than 60% in these States even coverage in Kerala is more than 90%. For effective AI coverage about 2,02,469 AI technicians will be required with the assumption that each AI technician effectively covers 600 breedable bovine females per annum and performing 1000 AI per year at the rate 3 AI per day in all the States except in North Eastern States (NER) and Hilly States (Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand) where AI performed by AI technician is assumed as 600 AI per year. Against this 1,16,586 AI technicians are available in the country leaving a gap of 90958 AI technicians (details are given at Annexure-I).

3.2 Delivery of Breeding inputs at Farmers doorstep:

It is difficult for farmer to take animal in heat to veterinary hospitals or dispensaries for artificial insemination. If animals are taken to veterinary hospitals/ veterinary dispensaries there are hormonal changes in animals as it comes under severe stress leading to poor or very poor conception rates. Therefore, it is essential that AI is delivered at farmers doorstep.
Most of the AI centres in the country are stationary AI centre or Government Hospitals or dispensaries managed by a single veterinarian/ veterinary assistant/ livestock These centres are unable to deliver AI services at farmers doorstep.
Farmer/labourer is going to lose entire day work in taking his dairy animals to veterinary hospitals/dispensaries for artificial insemination, thus lose interest in AI. This warrants that sufficient AI technicians may be established in the country to deliver quality AI services at the farmers doorstep.
Estrus cycle in case of dairy animals is of 21 days duration and after every 21 days animal comes into heat and only during the heat animal is inseminated, further, heat or estrus is of 24 to 36 hrs duration. Missing a single heat means that days open will be increased by 21 days leading to loss in milk production by 21 days as animal gives milk only after calving. Considering 30% of the dairy animals (cattle and buffaloes) are under AI coverage or 28.2 million animals in milk covered through AI missing one heat in these animals means loss in milk production to the tune of 91MMT, which has value of Rs 8705 crore (assuming market sale price of milk as Rs 30 per litre and average productivity of animals as 5.1 lts per animal per day) .

3.3 Quality of training:

In artificial insemination frozen thawed semen is deposited in to reproductive tract of the female that is in body of uterus at the right time of heat (mid heat). AI technicians with insufficient skills/quacks may cause injury to the reproductive organs and even may make animals permanently
Quality of AI technicians is important in attaining high conception rates and imparting artificial insemination services in sustainable manner. Therefore, training centres may have sufficient technical manpower and animals for conducting theoretical training and practical training of AI
Proper training of AI technicians following MSPs and SOPs is essential is important for delivery of AI services at farmers doorstep. Therefore AI technicians to be trained at accredited AI training
At present only 33 accredited AI training institutes are available with State Animal Husbandry Departments and Dairy Thus there is a urgent need to rope in Veterinary Universities and Colleges to impart quality training to AI technicians. Institutes identified by ASCI will also be used for training of AI technicians.

3.4 National Animal Disease Control Programme:

Department has already initiated comprehensive National Animal Disease Control programme (NADCP) with an allocation of Rs 13343 crores for control and eradication of Foot and Mouth Disease and control of Brucellosis in the country. For animal identification and traceability all the animals covered under the programme (cattle, buffalo, sheep goats and pigs) are being identified and registered through ear tags with unique identification number. This will give further scope for enhancing trade of milk and milk products and other livestock products. In order to take benefit of NADCP there is need to implement artificial insemination programme for enhancing milk production and

4. Project:

The project will accomplish through training of MAITRIs at existing AI training institutes already accredited by Central Monitoring Unit of DAHD with State Animal Husbandry Departments, Dairy Cooperatives, reputed NGOs (BAIF and JK Trust) and National Dairy Development Board (NDDB). Minimum requirement for training institute is at Annexure-II and details of the accredited training institutes is given at Annexure-III
The Veterinary Universities (13)/ Veterinary Colleges (41) managing large breeding farms and sufficient number of animals for practical training may also be allowed to conduct training. Details of the veterinary Universities and colleges are given at Annexure-IV
After training AI technicians will be established as MAITRIs in their respective Gram Panchayats by providing AI equipments and maintaining regular delivery of AI consumables in the form of semen doses and liquid nitrogen. These technicians will be viable through recovery of cost of Artificial insemination services.

5. Target Segment/ Beneficiaries

The project will create direct employment opportunities for 90980 eligible educated rural youth.
The project aims at enhancing the Artificial Insemination (AI) coverage from present level of 30% to 70% over the next five years, ultimately increasing the productivity of the bovines (Cattle & Buffalo). The benefit of the project will accrue to 8.12 croe rural household engaged in dairy farming with very high proportion being small and marginal farmers and landless.
The project will also create the skilled manpower in the Veterinary sector and contribute in the mainstream economy of the country through the self employment of the educated rural youth. The value proposition of project provides doubling the milk production, self employment and achieving the aim of doubling the farmers’
