Sex fixing of mammalian progenies has been an adorable dream of reproductive physiologists and scientific history is replete with attempts to produce sexed offsprings. Most of them involved techniques producing sexed semen. However, present methodology is a novel in vivo patented technology which uses the administration of a liquid oral formulation which contains chemical ingredients like monosodiumethanoate and ethanoic acid which when given before insemination to females of dairy animals; yields female off-springs with considerable success rate. The following exercise is a sum of two such attempts undertaken in the state of Rajasthan in India and various outcomes are described therein.
