The productivity of dairy animals in India needs to be improved to feed the growing population in the decades
ahead. Sperm sexing offers a promising breeding strategy to meet the increased demand for food production and
nutritional protection. Application of sexed sperm in the breeding of indigenous cattle and buffalo would help
to protect endangered species, and it also helps to improve the productivity of indigenous milch animals which
can survive long starvation and are well adopted to Indian climatic conditions along with disease resistance. The
productivity of crossbreed milch animals is also required to meet the increasing food demand associated with
population growth. This review discusses the sustainability of Indian dairy animals and provides sperm sexing
strategies to boost dairy animal production in India.
