I want to start a goshala with 5 indigenous breed cows in nanded maharashtra, please guide
For Nanded, indigenous cows are a sensible choice for a small goshala, especially Sahiwal and Gir, because they handle heat well and give steady milk with lower feed stress. If you want five cows, first plan the shed, water, green fodder, dry fodder, and a clean milking corner before buying. For purchase, milk each cow in your presence, do a CMT test on all four quarters, ask which month of lactation she is in, and check body condition and age. If the animal is above fifty thousand rupees, take a Pashumitra or vet along. If you want consistent milk supply, do not buy all five at the same stage; stagger their lactations. For a proper start, also think about insurance and a ration plan so feed cost does not eat your profit. Treat this as a business first, because the right setup saves money every month. If you want, I can help you shortlist the right breed mix and feed plan next.
