After getting functional and operational results, all the 1,200 village-level milk producer societies of Amul Dairy milk shed area will be covered under digitalization, Amul Dairy, Anand, Managing Director Amit Vyas said. Digitization of the artificial insemination service will provide instant service to the milk producers as well as information of milch cattle is also stored in the mobile software system and can be analyzed.

Vyas further said a good response to this method has been received from the members of all village milk producer societies in the Amul Dairy milk shed area. Digitization of artificial insemination services will help to get the data of pregnancy months, calving prediction and milk production accordingly, which will help to plan milk processing at plant level, he added.
