For the state government, the protection and preservation of indigenous bulls is not a swift goal formed out of the jallikattu row, but a mandate under Article 48 of the Constitution of India. In the last few weeks, an argument that has repeatedly articulated itself is that the ban on jallikattu will decimate Tamil Nadu's indigenous cattle breeds. However, jallikattu is just one of the determining factors among the decades of conservation work and research that several NGOs and the state animal husbandry department have been carrying out in preserving indigenous cattle breeds and to a large extent, producing significant results with.

According to T Abraham, director of animal husbandry department, directorate of animal husbandry and veterinary services, the state maintains some of the most genetically superior Kangayam, Umbalacheri, Alambadi and Bargur bulls — handpicked and periodically evaluated to be used for insemination.

"We have close to 5,000 artificial insemination centres across the state, which conduct 60 to 70 lakh inseminations annually. We have been working to continuously improve these breeds genetically," says Abraham. He adds that the positive effects of native breed expansion through genetic selection and artificial insemination will take time to show. However, under current circumstances, with challenges such as economic non-viability for farmers, diminishing grazing lands and water deficit, native cattle continue to suffer.
