The embryo transfer technology is under way in Jammu and Kashmir for revolutionizing sheep development programme, official sources said adding that the state Government has decided to provide sufficient funds for ensuring success in the experiment.
Sources said that the above said scientific experiment would help the experts in developing "muttonous" breed of sheep called Dorper. The results of this experiment are expected to be out by the end of the current year.
Sources said that once the experiment was a success a duly Government funded extension programme at commercial level would be started during the current year.
