(b) ICAR-CIRC, Meerut through its  AICRP on Cattle  is  implementing  a  mega programme on evolving Frieswal - A crossbred Cattle strain and improvement & conservation of indigenous cattle breeds for increasing the milk production potential of  cattle  which  contribute  significantly  to  milk  pool  of  the  country.  The  major achievements of the programme  are as follows:-

-  The elite Gir, Kankrej and Sahiwal cows identified and registered under the Indigenous  Breeds  Project  produced  average  305-days  milk  yields  of  3238, 3553 and 3393 kg, respectively.

-  The genetic improvement programme implemented under the Frieswal project has  developed  a  crossbred  (HF  x  Sahiwal)  strain  whose  average    300  days milk production  increased from 2774 kg during 1989 to 3317.53 kg during 2015.  The mature lactation yield of Frieswal is  3612 kg.
-  The average age at first calving of 1126 days of this cattle breed  in 1995 has been reduced to 972.18 days in 2015.
-  Through interventions of FPT Programme of the Institute, milk yield of the progenies in the adopted villages has improved by 38.37% (2697.8 kg in 1995 to  3733  kg  in  2015-16)  at  FPT  operational  areas  at  GADVASU,  Ludhiana. The improvement is about 47.82% (1958.42 kg in 1994 to 2895 kg in 201516) at Kerala Veterinary and Animal Science University, Mannuthy; 18.50% (2281.0  in  2009  to  2702.9  kg  in  2015-16)  improvement  at  GBPUA&T, Pantnagar; and by 6.67% (2930.40 kg in 1995 to 3126.00 kg in 2015-16) at BAIF, Uruli-kanchan, Pune.
-  The age at first calving has decreased significantly by 13.23% (from 1192.0 in 1994 to 1052.7 days in 2015) at GADVASU, Ludhiana; 6.99% (1136.4 in 1992  to  1062.2  days  in  2015-16)  at  KVASU,  Mannuthy;  5.34%  (991.3  in 1994 to 941.0 days in 2015-16) at BAIF, Pune; and 3.24% (1146.0 in 2009 to 1110.0 days in 2015-16) at GBPAU&T, Pantnagar.
