Want a start a desi cow farm

For a desi cow dairy, start with Sahiwal or Gir. If you want steady milk and easier management in Prayagraj heat, Sahiwal is a very safe choice. Gir is also excellent if you want hardy cows with good disease tolerance. Keep the shed airy, dry, and shaded, and plan green fodder, dry fodder, and concentrate before buying the first animal. If you want fifteen litres or more consistently, remember one cow gives peak milk only in the second to third month after calving, so two cows with staggered calvings are better for regular supply. Before paying, milk the 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. For any cow above fifty thousand rupees, take a Pashumitra or vet with you. Treat this as a business plan first, because the right cow and feed setup decide profit.
