THE DWARF CATTLE BREEDS
BY
Unnikrishnan 


 Bos indicus are the Asian breed of cattle adapted to hot and humid climates. India possesses more than 30 acknowledged indigenous breeds of cattle and seven breeds of buffaloes. These breeds are mostly found in dry parts of the country.
Dwarf cattle breeds
The dwarf cattle breeds are mostly found in the mountain ranges of southern states of India. The popular breeds among them are the Vechur, Kasargod dwarf, High range dwarf and Palakkad Ottapalam dwarf of Kerala. The Punganur in Chitoor district and the Malanad Gidda and Coorg dwarf of Karnataka.
They are immune to most of the diseases found these days in the high milk yielding hybrid cows like Jersey and Holstein-Fresian which survives mostly on antibiotics. These dwarf breeds are ticks and bugs resistant.
The cow dung of these indigenous cows is more effective as manure than those of hybrid breeds. The urine of Vechur cow is an ingredient in many Ayurvedic medicines. 
The Milk
Although the quantity of milk produced by these dwarf breeds are much less (average of 2 to 3 litres of milk a day) when compared to those foreign hybrid cows, the quality is far superior.
The medicinal property of Vechur cow’s milk is documented traditionally in Ayurveda. It is proven that the protein rich milk of Vechur cow has more anti microbial properties than that of the antibiotic Ampicillin. The Vechur Ghee produced from Vechur cow’s milk, is famous for its high medicinal values due to the presence of A2 beta-lactalbumin protein and higher arginine content which is good for the people recuperating from severe health disorders like cancer.

Maintenance
The dwarf breeds are disease resistant and so they need zero maintenance. They survive on the locally available fodder and free ranging is the best option. You need not spend money on calcium supplements, cattle feeds or any medicines. For a person with 2acres of land one dwarf cow can produce enough manure to nourish your farm land.
Availabilty
Most of the dwarf breeds were in the verge of extinction as a cause of the government’s policy to castrate all the indigenous bulls in the years 60s and 70s saying that they are less milk yielders, thus introducing the artificial insemination by importing semen of hybrid cattle like Jersey, Holstein fresian , Swiss Brown, Redpoll etc. Then in the 21st century we became aware of the quality of our breeds, thus again finding and breeding our indigenous cattle. The Kerala government which once were castrating the Vechur and Kargod dwarf bulls, has now started a programme to breed the indigenous dwarf cattle.
They are available with the Vechur Conservation Trust http://vechur.org/ a Government of Kerala initiative, or else with the farmers and breeders in Kerala.
