Which cow breeds are best for dairy farming in India?

Top dairy cow breeds in India include Gir, Sahiwal, HF (Holstein Friesian), Jersey, Rathi, and Tharparkar. Gir and Sahiwal are indigenous high-yielding breeds; HF and Jersey are crossbreeds popular for higher milk production. Best breed depends on your region, climate, and feed availability.

How much does a dairy cow cost in India?

Cow prices in India typically range from ₹25,000 to ₹2,00,000+ depending on breed, age, milk yield, lactation stage, and location. High-yield Gir or HF cows can cost more. Check current listings on Pashushala for live prices in your state.

What should I check before buying a cow?

Check breed, age, milk yield per day, lactation number, pregnancy or calf status, vaccination history, health condition, seller verification, and transport feasibility. Inspect photos or visit the farm when possible.

How many litres of milk does a cow produce per day?

Milk yield varies by breed: HF cows give 20–35 litres/day, Gir gives 8–16 litres/day, Sahiwal gives 8–15 litres/day, and Jersey gives 10–25 litres/day. Yield also depends on feed, lactation stage, and management.
