The weight also does not increase, rather it balances the weight. That is, the weight of a weak person increases, the weight of an obese person is less.
Why Gir Cow Specialty
Gir cow may be originally from Gujarat, but it is also reared in Ajmer in Rajasthan and some areas of Haryana. Now slowly its popularity is increasing, people are knowing about it and emphasis is being laid on its adherence. However, it is not getting so much success in other states because its natural origin is Gujarat. This cow has adapted to the environment of Gujarat.
There is Man Mandir Gaushala in Mathura where more than 50 thousand cows are reared. There are many breeds of cows here. In this sequence, Gir cow was also brought for crossbreeding a few years ago but it did not get much success. Efforts are going on in other states, but at present, farmers in Gujarat, Ajmer in Rajasthan, and some areas of Haryana are doing good business of milk by rearing it.
Top 4 Cow Breeds
Four breeds of cows are famous in the country, which are Gir, Sahiwal, Lalsindhi, and Dyoni. The birthplace of Gir cow in Junagadh in Gujarat. Similarly, the birthplace of Lalsindhi and Sahiwal is Pakistan. Lalsindhi is a cow of Sindh province of Pakistan, hence its name is Lalsindhi. The cow breed is from Maharashtra. These four breeds are the highest milk-producing breeds in the country. Gir is a soft-bodied cow, so it is also taken care of accordingly.
Thousand liters of milk in the entire lactation period
The lactation period (milking period) of Gir cow is 300 days. During this period Gir cow gives 2 thousand liters of milk. If you apply the rate according to 30 rupees a liter, then the Gir cow gives milk worth 60 thousand rupees in the entire lactation period. If we look at the cost of fodder and grain and water, then it is a profitable deal because this calculation is not spent on cow’s feed and grain. Gir cow gives less milk in the beginning. That is, initially it will give up to 7-8 liters of milk, but at the time of pickup, this production can go up to 15 liters.
Types of feed needed
Regarding fodder, former Haryana professor Rajendra Singh told TV9 Hindi that 3 types of fodder are required for Gir. Dry matter or dry roughage, green fodder or green fodder, and feed mix. Gir cow can be fed dry matter for dry matter. Similarly, berseem and oats are used for green fodder. Bran, cereals, and khad can be given as a grain mixture. You can feed gram powder for bran, wheat-millet in cereals and mustard, cottonseed, or soybean seeds for Khar Binola. Salt and mineral mixture are also added to the grain mixture. It is considered better to feed the cow by making porridge from the grain mixture.
Earning from milk and ghee
To get more milk production, it is right to feed fodder or grain at the same time when milk is extracted from the cow. Feeding fodder or grain during the lactation period should be seen whether the production of milk is increasing or decreasing from it. If milk increases then the quantity of grain should be increased and if production decreases then quantity should be decreased. Due to this, the ratio of cost and production remains correct. In all these respects, Gir cow is considered suitable for milk production.
Ghee of Gir cow is in great demand, it is sold at high prices. If you look at the business of milk and ghee, you can earn from 1 to 1.5 lakh rupees in a year. From this point of view, its production is more profitable than other cows. One can start dairy work with many cows and earn lakhs of rupees.
