Champion Murrah Bull Yuvraj

KURUKSHETRA, INDIA - COTOBER 29: Champion Murrah bull, Yuvraj at house of his owner Karamveer in Sonnariyan village on October 29, 2014 in Kurukshetra, India. Weighing 1400 Kgs Yuvraj stretches to 10.5 ft long (excluding the tail) and 5 ft 7.5 inches tall. According to experts He is a perfect specimen of the Murrah breed, one of the highest-yield breed of buffalo in the world. Ganga, Yuvrajs mother, used to produce over 26 litres of milk a day in her prime, a record. Yuvraj is the bearer of an elite germplasm, his pedigree is selected and progeny tested. Hence there is high demand for his semen. One ejaculation generates between 4-6 ml of semen which is then diluted with egg yolk or milk-based diluents to make between 400 to 500 doses of semen, preserved inside plastic straws and stored frozen in liquid nitrogen (cryogenic) containers. Karamveer sells a single dose (one semen straw) for Rs.300 for artificial insemination. (Photo by Ramesh Pathania/Mint via Getty Images)
