Indigenous Breeds at the Centre of Innovation A key contributor to the initiative is Engineer S.N. Dwivedi of Prayagraj, who has established an advanced dairy facility in Noida housing more than 250 indigenous cows, including the renowned Gir and Sahiwal breeds. Milk from these breeds is known for its nutritional richness and is being used to manufacture a range of premium dairy products. The product portfolio includes Skyr, Greek yogurt, gelato ice cream, Skyr powder, yogurt powder, paneer, and ghee. The use of modern ultra-filtration technology and advanced processing methods has enabled the production of high-protein dairy products that meet premium quality standards. Ancient Icelandic Product, Modern Indian Application Skyr is a traditional Icelandic dairy product with a history dating back nearly a millennium. Often described as a cross between yogurt and cheese, it is known for its creamy texture, mild tanginess, high protein content, and low fat levels. For the first time in Uttar Pradesh, Skyr is being produced using Denmark’s advanced dairy filtration technology combined with Icelandic processing techniques. Industry observers say this innovation has helped position Uttar Pradesh as a significant player in the premium dairy segment.
