I want to buy & buildup a startup in diary industry in jalpaiguri district. Can you please suggest me which breed is suitable for in this climate & area?
For Jalpaiguri’s hot, humid climate, buffalo is usually the safer dairy choice, and if you want cows, go for Jersey cross, HF cross, Sahiwal, or Gir. These do better for milk in humid areas than heavy exotic types. If your market is packaged milk, cow milk sells steadily; if you want higher fat for ghee or local sweet shops, buffalo is stronger. Before buying, milk the animal in your presence, do a CMT test on all four quarters, ask which month of lactation she is in, and check age, body condition, and vaccination record. If you want fifteen litres or more consistently, do not depend on one cow alone; plan two cows with staggered calvings. For any animal above fifty thousand rupees, take a Pashumitra or vet with you before payment. Treat the purchase like a business asset, not just a pretty animal.
