Green Fodder & Feed Programme

Since July 2025 Fodder lands obtained from the Directorate of Animal Resources & Animal Husbandry — cultivating green fodder year-round for breeding animals.

To maintain the rigorous health and high-fertility requirements of purebred breeding bulls and bull mothers, PBGSBS commenced targeted green fodder production programmes across its primary institutional farms. Sustained by state-funded projects, these sites focus on maximising biomass yield per acre to secure year-round succulent roughage.

Green fodder production is structurally distributed across three primary sites — Haringhata Farm Complex (Nadia), Composite State Animal Husbandry Farm Campus (Salboni, Paschim Medinipur) and State Livestock Farm (Kalyani, Nadia) — with an additional plot at Semen Station, Beldanga.

Feed Mixing Units (RKVY)

⚙️

Feed Mixing Unit — BMF Haringhata

📍 Bull Mother Farm, Haringhata, Nadia
RKVY — Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana

The RKVY-funded unit was established to eliminate nutritional inconsistencies by producing specialised, high-quality concentrated feed locally.

Demonstrating strong operational efficiency, this unit produced 985 Metric Tonnes (MT) of balanced concentrated feed during the 2025–26 operational year alone, satisfying the precise nutritional matrices required for the breeding animals of Sanstha.

Feed Mixing Unit — BMF Salboni

📍 Bull Mother Farm, Salboni, Paschim Medinipur
RKVY — Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana

Similar to the Haringhata model, this unit was financed by RKVY to serve as a captive production facility processing precisely batched balanced rations.

It processes precisely batched balanced rations to maximise the genetic expression, health, and reproductive performance of the farm’s elite bull mothers and heifers. The unit produced 540 Metric Tonnes (MT) of balanced concentrated feed during the 2025–26 operational year.

About RKVY: The Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana is a flagship Government of India scheme that funds States to undertake agriculture & allied-sector infrastructure projects. The on-farm feed mixing units financed through RKVY enable PBGSBS to produce nutritionally precise concentrated cattle feed for its resident breeding herds, reducing dependency on external supply chains.
