Mizoram Breed Multiplication Farm Scheme: 50% Subsidy in Dairy Farming

This scheme proposes a 50% capital subsidy (capped at Rs. 2.00 Crore) for entrepreneurs interested in establishing Breed Multiplication Farms (BMF) in Mizoram. Under the scheme, the entrepreneur constructs cattle sheds, procures equipment, and obtains elite bull mothers to produce elite heifers using advanced breeding technologies such as sex-sorted semen or IVF. Disease-free heifers (free from at least TB, JD & Brucella) produced at the BMF are sold to farmers, while HGM bulls born at the BMF are procured by semen stations for frozen semen production. Additionally, the BMF serves as a training center for farmers and entrepreneurs.
