Sex fixing of mammalian progenies is one of the most fascinating subjects ever reported and it can be a formidable tool in increasing dairy productivity as well as ensuring considerable economic and social benefits. There have been many recorded attempts to produce sexed off-springs in mammals and most of them involved semen sexing methodologies. The present methodology involves a novel in vivo technology duly patented and which uses the administration of a liquid dosage form which has active ingredients like monosodium ethanoate and ethanoic acid which when given orally to females of dairy animals; yields female off-springs with impressive success rate. A huge trial of this methodology was conducted in real field conditions in Gujarat and the outcome was impressive.
