Which breed is good for starting a dairy farm

For starting a dairy farm, crossbred cows are usually the most practical choice in most Indian areas. If your place is hot and you want a hardy animal, Sahiwal and Gir are very good. If you want higher milk and can manage better feed and cooling, HF cross or Jersey cross are strong options. Sahiwal gives about eight to twelve liters a day, Gir about six to ten liters, and good crossbreds about ten to twenty liters. If you want steady milk supply, do not buy only one high-yield cow; plan your herd in a staggered way. 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 age and body condition. If the animal is above fifty thousand rupees, take a Pashumitra or vet with you. For a precise choice for your area and budget, book a Pashu Vet on Pashushala or call the Kisan Call Centre on eighteen hundred one eight zero one five five one.
