The Department of Animal Husbandry was the first department of the institute established in 1924. It was an important landmark in the history of dairy training in India as the admission to the first batch of Indian Diploma in Dairying (IDD) was conducted here. For improving the quality of our indigenous cow in terms of increasing milk production per cow, crossbreeding programme was started from 1910 to 1924; four different zebu breeds (Hariana, Sahiwal, Gir, and Kankrej) were improved by selective breeding. Four European breeds the Holstein Friesian, Brown Swiss, Guernsey and Jersey were imported between 1924 and 1934. From these, Jersey and Brown Swiss were selected for crossbreeding with Red Sindhi. Breeding crossbred cows were performed in order to establish a herd of individuals having between 3/8 to 5/8 Jersey/ Brown Swiss inheritance called as “Jersind” and “Brownsind”, respectively. It is a matter of pride that data on systematic crossbreeding experiments of the Faculty of Animal Husbandry and Dairying of the university were used by Indian Council of Agricultural Research for national index on livestock improvement.
