ISLAMABAD, Aug 11 (Gwadar Pro) - Animal Quarantine Department of the Ministry of National Food Security and Research has registered Royal Cell Biotechnology (Pakistan) for export of embryos, ova and frozen semen of buffaloes to China.

The registration will enable the Royal Cell to start exporting embryos, ova and frozen semen of Pakistani buffaloes to China. The company has already fulfilled all requirements of the Chinese government.

“We expect first such export in three months. The embryos will be transferred to the buffaloes in our own farms in China”, Dr. Qaisar Shahzad, Director Royal Cell Biotechnology said.

“In the next phase, we will get registration for our dairy farm located at Sheikhupra as a disease-free compartment, after which we will be able to export milk and meat products to China as well. The Chinese Customs will first inspect our farm for being disease-free and allow us to send shipments to China”, he said.

Royal Cell is a Chinese company involved in in-vitro fertilisation of Pakistani buffaloes in Lahore. The company is also preserving breeds of elite Pakistani buffaloes for enhancing milk production and increasing population of high-quality breeds.
