Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the Establishment of Pig Semen Collection and Processing Lab scheme?
The scheme aims to increase per-animal productivity, reduce inbreeding, and prevent sexually transmitted diseases in pigs by providing high-quality boar semen for artificial insemination.
Who is responsible for implementing this scheme?
The scheme is implemented by the State Implementing Agencies of the State Animal Husbandry Department and the State Animal Husbandry Departments.
What type of semen is used for artificial insemination under this scheme?
Since frozen semen technology is not effective for pigs, artificial insemination is carried out using liquid boar semen, which remains viable for a longer duration when processed scientifically.
What assistance is provided under this scheme?
Financial assistance is provided to establish semen processing laboratories at government pig farms to produce high-quality liquid boar semen for artificial insemination.
How much financial support is provided for setting up a semen processing lab?
A one-time grant-in-aid of up to ₹1.5 crore is provided for constructing the lab and maintaining breeding boars. An additional ₹30 lakh is provided for the first-time procurement of consumables, medicines, and chemicals.
What is the funding pattern for the scheme?
For most states, the funding is shared in a 60:40 ratio between the Central and State Governments. However, for the North Eastern Region (NER) and Himalayan states, the ratio is 90:10.
Who is eligible to apply for this scheme?

The ₹30 lakh grant is meant for the procurement of consumables, medicines, chemicals, and other essential items required for the initial processing of boar semen.
Is the financial assistance provided on a recurring basis?
No, the assistance is provided as a one-time grant to help set up the semen processing lab and procure initial supplies.
Where will the semen processing labs be set up?
