| Establishment history |
- In 1977, crossbred cows were maintained for studying their adaptability, reproductive and productive performances under environmental condition of this area
- In 1982-83, under a development scheme, it was raised to the status of a full-fledged Directorate of Research Institute for Physiology of Animal Reproduction (RIPAR), Bhunikey, Pattoki, District Kasur comprising five divisions; Microbiology, Artificial Insemination, Cytogenetics, Endocrinology, and Embryo Transfer and Livestock Experiment Station, Bhunikey was attached with the Directorate
- In November, 1984 the Board of Revenue, transferred 1452 acres of land to the Livestock & Dairy Development Department for production of livestock
