About Us

Maharashtra Bovine Breeding Regulatory Authority

The Maharashtra Bovine Breeding Regulatory Authority was constituted under Section 12 of the Maharashtra Bovine Breeding (Regulation) Act, 2023, to oversee and strengthen bovine breeding practices across all districts of the State. Headquartered in Pune, the Authority is empowered to formulate policies, register and certify bovine breeding-related activities and ensure uniform standards in genetic improvement and animal welfare.

Our mandate encompasses the regulation of semen production, storage, distribution and artificial insemination as well as the deployment of advanced assisted reproductive technologies such as embryo transfer and in vitro fertilization (IVF). By centralizing data on breeding records, bull certifications and artificial insemination activities, we aim to promote transparency, accountability and continuous improvement in Maharashtra’s livestock sector.
