KASARAGOD: Steps have been taken by the Kasaragod district animal husbandry authorities along with the Kerala Livestock Development Board to recognise the Kasaragod dwarf cows as a unique breed in India. The Kasaragod dwarf cow is a distinct breed with high immunity, heat tolerance, superior intelligence, and good quality milk. Manoj Kumar P K, Kasaragod district animal husbandry officer, said, “These cow breeds were the backbone of traditional farming, valued primarily for their manure. As these cows usually graze on fresh grass, the milk is rich in protein.” The dwarf cow breed is mostly found in the panchayats of Kasaragod and Manjeshwar taluks.
