National Animal Gene Bank

The National Animal Gene Bank is a facility that securely stores genetic material—such as DNA, sperm, and embryos—of various animal species. Its purpose is to preserve genetic diversity, protect endangered animals, and support breeding programs. By safeguarding these genetic resources, the bank ensures that valuable genetic traits can be recreated or maintained in the future, aiding conservation efforts and enhancing animal breeding resilience against diseases, environmental changes, or species decline. It serves as a vital repository for maintaining and restoring healthy, diverse animal populations for the country.
