*Siaha; the 28th October,2020:*  AH&Vety Office,Siaha district, under the able and dynamic leadership of DVO Dr.Sahlu Khaila, has achieved the pathbreaking success of Artificial Insemination in pigs  project last night. AH&Vety Office,Siaha had tried  to carry out A.I. in Pig project since last couple of years, but success averted so far  due to PRRS and  some other factors.

The long waited success  story of  *AI in pig* was scripted last year 2019, precisely in the month of February;  when two piglets for  *AI in pigs* project  were procured from Lungpuizawl Vety Farm; and these two  piglets  *Landrace leh Yorkshire*  were reared at Vety Complex,Siaha to its  full maturity, and their sperm get extracted from  this July,2020 onward. Soon after, *AI in pigs project*  was carried out on two sows belonging to Shri.FC.Zase, College Vaih and Shri.C.Rohlira,New Siaha, respectively  on the 4th July,2020. These two sows Successfully delivered their offsprings last night at around 9:00pm. Sow belonging to Shri.FC Zase delivered 8 piglets and Shri.C.Rohlira's delivered 6 piglets.

The Sperm of 1 Boar is suffice to inseminate about 200/250  sows and there are 131 artificially inseminated sows in Siaha district as of now. If all these 131 sows Successfully delivered their offsprings too, then Siaha district will soon become self sufficient in Pork.
