No full textNot AvailableMithun, also known as āCattle of Mountainā is an important bovine species of north-eastern
hill region of India and also of China, Myanmar, Bhutan and Bangladesh. This magnificent
massive bovine is presently reared under free-range condition in the hill forests at an
altitude of 1000 to 3000 m above mean sea level. Mithun plays an important role in the
socio-economic and cultural life of the local tribal population. Due to dwindling population of
mithun over the years and gradual denudation of free range forest areas for mithun grazing
along with the biotic and abiotic stress, there is urgent need of scientific intervention for
proper management as well as conservation of this species. Application of various
biotechnological tools like artificial insemination, estrus synchronization for timed-AI,
multiple ovulation and embryo transfer, rumen microbial manipulation and modern
breeding techniques may be of great use for faster multiplication and propagation of this
species in near future.Not Availabl
