The Punjab Herd Registration Act, 2006 establishes the Punjab Herd Registration Authority to create and maintain a comprehensive database of dairy cattle and buffalo breeds across the state of Punjab. The law mandates dairy owners to register their cows and buffaloes, allow official inspection and marking of animals, and report any purchases or sales. The Authority issues registration certificates verifying animal breed, pedigree, and health traits, while also monitoring high-quality breeding stock, semen, and embryos. By organizing standardized breed tracking, the law aims to improve genetic quality, boost milk production standards, and strengthen the state's dairy husbandry sector.
