This Act governs the breeding of cattle and buffaloes in Uttarakhand by establishing a Bovine Breeding Authority to oversee artificial insemination and semen quality. It applies to all individuals, organizations, and government bodies involved in livestock breeding activities within the state. The law matters because it sets standards for certified bulls, regulates semen banks, and ensures that farmers receive high-quality genetic material. By defining the roles of experts and technicians, the legislation aims to improve livestock productivity and protect the interests of the state's dairy and agricultural sectors through structured management and quality control.
