INSPRM (Information Network for Semen Production and Resource Management) is an information network for semen stations funded under National Dairy Plan I (NDP I). It is envisaged to meet the information needs of individual semen station as well as the Coordination & Monitoring Cell (CMC) of NDP I to coordinate all its activities. This network for semen stations is also linked with the existing network of field activities – INAPH (Information Network for Animal Productivity and Health).
NDP I is a central sector scheme funded by the World Bank and implemented by National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) with the objectives to increase the productivity of dairy bovines and to provide rural milk producers with greater access to the organized milk processing sector.
When NDP I conceived in 2009-10, the total semen production in the country was 65.87 million frozen semen doses. It was envisaged that there would be a demand of 100 million semen doses in 2016-17. To cater the need of semen doses for AI in that year, it was planned to strengthen/expand semen stations in terms of bull management, laboratory, biosecurity and manpower. This gave rise to Semen Station Strengthening (SSS) projects.
Semen Station Management System (SSMS) is an integrated software covering the core activities of production of Frozen Semen Doses (FSD) to support process standardization based on Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and enforcing Minimum Standard Protocols (MSP) defined by the Gov
