Cow
There is a continuous reduction in the population of local cow in the district the main region for this reduction is depletion of grazing land due to the conversion of grazing and uncultivatable land to cultivated area for food production and other region are ban free grazing forest area poor milk yield potential of the cow farmer preference to raise the stock for draught purpose, of reduction of fodder crop like Jowar due to the cultivation of cash crop.
Cross bred
The average per animal milk yield is higher compared to local breed. The adoption of cross breed cows can be attributed to government policy on breeding to artificial insemination. Despite high production potential, the no. of cross breed cows can not increase rapidly due to lack of proper knowledge and skills regarding rearing and management practices and fetching low prices in the market compared to buffalo milk.
