Native cow breeds - Tamilnadu:
Each region of India has native breeds with distinct characteristics, suited to local conditions. Bargur is ideal as a draught animal for agriculture in the uneven, hilly terrains of western Tamil Nadu. Dual-purpose Badri, used as milch and draught animal, is suited for the hilly regions of Uttarakhand. Kankrej is a dual-purpose breed of the tough terrains of Gujarat and Rajasthan.

India has 37 indigenous breeds, according to the Ministry of Agriculture. The other native breeds, lacking in distinct traits, are referred to as nondescript breeds. With signs of climate change clearly visible everywhere, conservation of native breeds that are hardy and better suited to withstand high temperatures has been gaining ground.

Hybrid vs native
“The milk yield generally decreases up to 25 percent in summer,” said Ganesan, a native cattle breeder. With increase in temperature, intake of feed and, consequently, milk production decreases, more so in hybrids.

Yield is one aspect where hybrids score over native breeds. “Hybrids give 25 litres per day, whereas natives give only about three litres

“Hybrid cows need more medication, vaccination and de-worming to protect them against diseases,” said Kumaravelu. Studies have revealed that temperature variation decreases the immunity of hybrids, making them more prone to diseases. As some of the diseases proving to be fatal came with the imported breeds, scientists point out that indigenous breeds have better resistance.
