Glimpses of
Elite Gaushalas
NAMDHARI GAUSHALA, SRI
JIWAN NAGAR Sirsa Haryana
Pure Sahiwal cattle (140) are maintained
• Animals are tattooed, pedigree and performance
recording is done.
• Peak yield is 21 kg; all the cows yield 12 kg or
more.
• They follow organic farming.
RASHTRIYA GAUSHALA,
DHAROULI (Jind)
The model of ‘twin Gaushalas’ has been followed
whereby one Gaushala is kept mainly for ‘jeevdaya’
(save-cows) and the other for breed improvement.
• More than 500 Hariana purebred cows maintained for
production of young Hariana bulls.
• Cows are selected based on milk yield. Peak daily yield
in cows has been recorded as 22 kg.
RAJASTHAN GAU SEWA SANGH,

Native cattle
Further its maintenance costs is very less
Nutrient absorption from fodder is more, good intestinal flora helps in complete digestion & absorption of nutrients.
No need for costly housing, no need of fans & coolers, it saves on your electricity expences.
Ordinary fodder is enough to maintain optimum results in our native cattle.
Longevity (Up to 8 calves) the mothers milk yield & health condition will be good.
Cross bred cattle
Medical expences is high
high nutrient rich fodder is required
proper housing, fans and coolers are required
pregnancy related problems,
problems during calf brith or dead calf in womb
Problems with conceiving
would give good yield up to 3 calf births then afterwards you have to replace the cows ( cost of replacement is high)
Considering the milk prices and the cost of labour & fodder, its best to have average output with average input (Native cows- Bos Indicus) rather than high input & high output (cross bred cows - Bos tarus).
