-Telangana Today

With NBAGR recognition, the breed’s popularity has soared, and with it the fortunes of cattle farmers what with a pair now fetching Rs 70,000 from the earlier Rs 40,000.

Hyderabad: Good times are here for Telangana’s own cattle breed, Poda Thurupu, with recognition from the National Bureau of Animal Genetic Resources (NBAGR) seeing the breed’s popularity soaring, and with it, the fortunes of the cattle farmers and breeders of Amrabad in Nagarkurnool too.

Prices have shot up, from around Rs 40,000 a pair to about Rs 70,000, while cattle farmers from other States too are now driving into Amrabad looking for the breed, the population of which has shot from about 15,000 to almost double now.

The search for a successor in Telangana saw the Telangana State Biodiversity Board (TSBB) studying and submitting a report to the NBAGR on the Poda Thurupu, a cattle breed endemic to Amrabad.
