Banaskantha is a good dairy belt, especially for buffalo and crossbred cow milk farming. If you want to buy, I would first look at Murrah, Nili-Ravi, Jaffarabadi, Sahiwal, Gir, HF cross, or Jersey cross, depending on your budget and milk target. Check daily milk, udder shape, teat size, and whether the animal is calm and healthy. If you want, I can help you shortlist the right dairy animal for your area.

It sounds like mastitis. First, milk the affected quarter out completely and keep the udder clean and dry. Do not use hot water or massage hard. Give the cow clean water and good feed, and keep her separate. If the milk has clots, blood, swelling, or fever, she needs treatment today. Consult a veterinarian before administering any medicine or treatment.

For dairy, Murrah is the best buffalo to buy. It gives about eight to fourteen liters a day, and elite animals can give sixteen to twenty liters. Nili-Ravi and Jaffarabadi are also strong milk breeds. Check for a healthy udder, calm nature, and no lameness. If you want, I can help you shortlist the right buffalo for your budget and milk target.

For dairy, look for Sahiwal, Gir, HF cross, or Jersey cross. In Indore, HF cross and Jersey cross usually suit commercial milk work well. 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 price is above fifty thousand rupees, take a Pashumitra or vet with you.
