A critical element of this new station is the implementation of an innovative, domestically-developed technology called ‘Gausort,’ which was officially launched on October 5, 2024. This groundbreaking technology is designed to make high-quality Sex Sorted Semen available to farmers in the Eastern and North-Eastern parts of India at a highly affordable price. By leveraging this indigenous solution, the government aims to enhance the region’s dairy productivity without imposing a heavy financial burden on local producers.

The Semen Station in Purnea is already a cornerstone of the national dairy infrastructure, recognized as one of the country’s largest government-run stations. With a current annual production of 50 lakh doses and having received significant central assistance of ₹84.27 crores, it serves as a vital hub for the Eastern and North-Eastern states. The new facility will complement its existing operations, further solidifying its role in developing and supporting the regional dairy economy.

At the heart of the initiative is Semen Sex-Sorting, a technology with the power to revolutionize dairy farming. This technique boasts an impressive 90% accuracy in pre-determining the birth of female calves. For dairy farmers, this is a game-changer, as it significantly increases the number of replacement heifers, which are crucial for milk production. This higher efficiency directly translates to reduced costs and a substantial increase in income for farmers, addressing a critical economic challenge.
