&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New government report finds fewer indigenous individuals among these species, although experts blame non-registration of breeds as a reason.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The origins of over half of India&amp;rsquo;s cattle, sheep, goats, horses, ponies, mules, donkeys and pigs are not known, according to a new report on the country&amp;rsquo;s livestock released by the government recently.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The country&amp;rsquo;s water buffaloes too have fewer purebred individuals, although its camels still have that distinction according to Breed-wise report on livestock and poultry.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The document details the breed-wise data collection that was done along with the 20th Livestock Census which was conducted between October 1, 2018 and September 20, 2019.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Livestock and poultry were counted in the exercise according to their breeds with the help of tablet computers across 0.6 million villages and nearly 89,062 urban wards.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Over 265 million households and 4.2 million non-households were surveyed across India during the 20th Census.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The report covered 184 indigenous / exotic breeds of 19 selected species. At first, species are given codes and subsequently these codes have been extended to generate the codes for the breeds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The breeds which are registered by the National Bureau of Animal Genetic Resources (NBAGR), were considered in the breed report. All other local breeds have been covered under non-descript category,&amp;rdquo; the document said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Breeds with a similar phenotypic characteristic of an identified breed, were also considered. These breeds have been called &amp;lsquo;graded breeds&amp;rsquo;, having more than 50 per cent phenotype characteristics of an identified breed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Some 52 per cent of cattle, which constituted 36.04 per cent of India&amp;rsquo;s livestock in the 20th census, were categorised as &amp;lsquo;Non-descript&amp;rsquo;. Twenty-six per cent were categorised as &amp;lsquo;Exotic&amp;rsquo; and 22 per cent as &amp;lsquo;indigenous&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Jersey (54.9 per cent) and Holstein (43.3 per cent) formed the bulk of exotic and crossbred cattle in India, according to the report.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There were 41 recognised indigenous cattle breeds in India, according to the 20th census. About 70.5 per cent of indigenous breeds belonged to the Non-Descript category.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Out of the remaining 29.5 per cent, 4.8 per cent contribution is from Gir and Lakhimi breeds following which Sahiwal contribute 4.2 per cent of total indigenous cattle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Besides, the Bachaur breed contributes 3.1 per cent of indigenous cattle, other breeds such as Hariana, Kankrej and Kosali also contributed over 1 per cent of each of the total indigenous cattle. All other recognised breeds together contribute 8.1 per cent of the total cattle population,&amp;rdquo; the report noted.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Who has what&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;West Bengal had the most number of Gir cows (34.7 per cent), followed by Gujarat (25.6 per cent) and Rajasthan (15.2 per cent). West Bengal also had the most Sahiwal cows at 44.2 per cent.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Jharkhand had the most Bachaur cows at 76.89 per cent while Uttar Pradesh had the most Hariana cows at 41.5 per cent.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New government report finds fewer indigenous individuals among these species, although experts blame non-registration of breeds as a reason.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The origins of over half of India&amp;rsquo;s cattle, sheep, goats, horses, ponies, mules, donkeys and pigs are not known, according to a new report on the country&amp;rsquo;s livestock released by the government recently.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The country&amp;rsquo;s water buffaloes too have fewer purebred individuals, although its camels still have that distinction according to Breed-wise report on livestock and poultry.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The document details the breed-wise data collection that was done along with the 20th Livestock Census which was conducted between October 1, 2018 and September 20, 2019.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Livestock and poultry were counted in the exercise according to their breeds with the help of tablet computers across 0.6 million villages and nearly 89,062 urban wards.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Over 265 million households and 4.2 million non-households were surveyed across India during the 20th Census.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The report covered 184 indigenous / exotic breeds of 19 selected species. At first, species are given codes and subsequently these codes have been extended to generate the codes for the breeds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The breeds which are registered by the National Bureau of Animal Genetic Resources (NBAGR), were considered in the breed report. All other local breeds have been covered under non-descript category,&amp;rdquo; the document said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Breeds with a similar phenotypic characteristic of an identified breed, were also considered. These breeds have been called &amp;lsquo;graded breeds&amp;rsquo;, having more than 50 per cent phenotype characteristics of an identified breed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Some 52 per cent of cattle, which constituted 36.04 per cent of India&amp;rsquo;s livestock in the 20th census, were categorised as &amp;lsquo;Non-descript&amp;rsquo;. Twenty-six per cent were categorised as &amp;lsquo;Exotic&amp;rsquo; and 22 per cent as &amp;lsquo;indigenous&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Jersey (54.9 per cent) and Holstein (43.3 per cent) formed the bulk of exotic and crossbred cattle in India, according to the report.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There were 41 recognised indigenous cattle breeds in India, according to the 20th census. About 70.5 per cent of indigenous breeds belonged to the Non-Descript category.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Out of the remaining 29.5 per cent, 4.8 per cent contribution is from Gir and Lakhimi breeds following which Sahiwal contribute 4.2 per cent of total indigenous cattle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Besides, the Bachaur breed contributes 3.1 per cent of indigenous cattle, other breeds such as Hariana, Kankrej and Kosali also contributed over 1 per cent of each of the total indigenous cattle. All other recognised breeds together contribute 8.1 per cent of the total cattle population,&amp;rdquo; the report noted.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Who has what&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The origins of over half of India&amp;rsquo;s cattle, sheep, goats, horses, ponies, mules, donkeys and pigs are not known, according to a new report on the country&amp;rsquo;s livestock released by the government recently.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The country&amp;rsquo;s water buffaloes too have fewer purebred individuals, although its camels still have that distinction according to Breed-wise report on livestock and poultry.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The document details the breed-wise data collection that was done along with the 20th Livestock Census which was conducted between October 1, 2018 and September 20, 2019.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Livestock and poultry were counted in the exercise according to their breeds with the help of tablet computers across 0.6 million villages and nearly 89,062 urban wards.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Over 265 million households and 4.2 million non-households were surveyed across India during the 20th Census.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New government report finds fewer indigenous individuals among these species, although experts blame non-registration of breeds as a reason.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The origins of over half of India&amp;rsquo;s cattle, sheep, goats, horses, ponies, mules, donkeys and pigs are not known, according to a new report on the country&amp;rsquo;s livestock released by the government recently.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The country&amp;rsquo;s water buffaloes too have fewer purebred individuals, although its camels still have that distinction according to Breed-wise report on livestock and poultry.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The document details the breed-wise data collection that was done along with the 20th Livestock Census which was conducted between October 1, 2018 and September 20, 2019.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Livestock and poultry were counted in the exercise according to their breeds with the help of tablet computers across 0.6 million villages and nearly 89,062 urban wards.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Over 265 million households and 4.2 million non-households were surveyed across India during the 20th Census.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The report covered 184 indigenous / exotic breeds of 19 selected species. At first, species are given codes and subsequently these codes have been extended to generate the codes for the breeds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The breeds which are registered by the National Bureau of Animal Genetic Resources (NBAGR), were considered in the breed report. All other local breeds have been covered under non-descript category,&amp;rdquo; the document said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Breeds with a similar phenotypic characteristic of an identified breed, were also considered. These breeds have been called &amp;lsquo;graded breeds&amp;rsquo;, having more than 50 per cent phenotype characteristics of an identified breed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Some 52 per cent of cattle, which constituted 36.04 per cent of India&amp;rsquo;s livestock in the 20th census, were categorised as &amp;lsquo;Non-descript&amp;rsquo;. Twenty-six per cent were categorised as &amp;lsquo;Exotic&amp;rsquo; and 22 per cent as &amp;lsquo;indigenous&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Jersey (54.9 per cent) and Holstein (43.3 per cent) formed the bulk of exotic and crossbred cattle in India, according to the report.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There were 41 recognised indigenous cattle breeds in India, according to the 20th census. About 70.5 per cent of indigenous breeds belonged to the Non-Descript category.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Out of the remaining 29.5 per cent, 4.8 per cent contribution is from Gir and Lakhimi breeds following which Sahiwal contribute 4.2 per cent of total indigenous cattle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Besides, the Bachaur breed contributes 3.1 per cent of indigenous cattle, other breeds such as Hariana, Kankrej and Kosali also contributed over 1 per cent of each of the total indigenous cattle. All other recognised breeds together contribute 8.1 per cent of the total cattle population,&amp;rdquo; the report noted.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Who has what&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;West Bengal had the most number of Gir cows (34.7 per cent), followed by Gujarat (25.6 per cent) and Rajasthan (15.2 per cent). West Bengal also had the most Sahiwal cows at 44.2 per cent.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Jharkhand had the most Bachaur cows at 76.89 per cent while Uttar Pradesh had the most Hariana cows at 41.5 per cent.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New government report finds fewer indigenous individuals among these species, although experts blame non-registration of breeds as a reason.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The origins of over half of India&amp;rsquo;s cattle, sheep, goats, horses, ponies, mules, donkeys and pigs are not known, according to a new report on the country&amp;rsquo;s livestock released by the government recently.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The country&amp;rsquo;s water buffaloes too have fewer purebred individuals, although its camels still have that distinction according to Breed-wise report on livestock and poultry.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The document details the breed-wise data collection that was done along with the 20th Livestock Census which was conducted between October 1, 2018 and September 20, 2019.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Livestock and poultry were counted in the exercise according to their breeds with the help of tablet computers across 0.6 million villages and nearly 89,062 urban wards.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Over 265 million households and 4.2 million non-households were surveyed across India during the 20th Census.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The report covered 184 indigenous / exotic breeds of 19 selected species. At first, species are given codes and subsequently these codes have been extended to generate the codes for the breeds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The breeds which are registered by the National Bureau of Animal Genetic Resources (NBAGR), were considered in the breed report. All other local breeds have been covered under non-descript category,&amp;rdquo; the document said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Breeds with a similar phenotypic characteristic of an identified breed, were also considered. These breeds have been called &amp;lsquo;graded breeds&amp;rsquo;, having more than 50 per cent phenotype characteristics of an identified breed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Some 52 per cent of cattle, which constituted 36.04 per cent of India&amp;rsquo;s livestock in the 20th census, were categorised as &amp;lsquo;Non-descript&amp;rsquo;. Twenty-six per cent were categorised as &amp;lsquo;Exotic&amp;rsquo; and 22 per cent as &amp;lsquo;indigenous&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Jersey (54.9 per cent) and Holstein (43.3 per cent) formed the bulk of exotic and crossbred cattle in India, according to the report.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There were 41 recognised indigenous cattle breeds in India, according to the 20th census. About 70.5 per cent of indigenous breeds belonged to the Non-Descript category.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Out of the remaining 29.5 per cent, 4.8 per cent contribution is from Gir and Lakhimi breeds following which Sahiwal contribute 4.2 per cent of total indigenous cattle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Besides, the Bachaur breed contributes 3.1 per cent of indigenous cattle, other breeds such as Hariana, Kankrej and Kosali also contributed over 1 per cent of each of the total indigenous cattle. All other recognised breeds together contribute 8.1 per cent of the total cattle population,&amp;rdquo; the report noted.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Who has what&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;West Bengal had the most number of Gir cows (34.7 per cent), followed by Gujarat (25.6 per cent) and Rajasthan (15.2 per cent). West Bengal also had the most Sahiwal cows at 44.2 per cent.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Jharkhand had the most Bachaur cows at 76.89 per cent while Uttar Pradesh had the most Hariana cows at 41.5 per cent.&lt;/p&gt;

Over half of India’s cattle, goats, sheep and swine are non-descript: Government -Rajat Ghai

-Down to Earth New government report finds fewer indigenous individuals among these species, although experts blame non-registration of breeds as a reason. The origins of over half of India’s cattle, sheep, goats, horses, ponies, mules, donkeys and pigs are not known, according to a new report on the country’s livestock released by the government recently. The country’s water buffaloes too have fewer purebred individuals, although its camels still have that distinction according to Breed-wise report on livestock and poultry. The document details the breed-wise data collection that was done along with the 20th Livestock Census which was conducted between October 1, 2018 and September 20, 2019. Livestock and poultry were counted in the exercise according to their breeds with the help of tablet computers across 0.6 million villages and nearly 89,062 urban wards. Over 265 million households and 4.2 million non-households were surveyed across India during the 20th Census. “The report covered 184 indigenous / exotic breeds of 19 selected species. At first, species are given codes and subsequently these codes have been extended to generate the codes for the breeds. “The breeds which are registered by the National Bureau of Animal Genetic Resources (NBAGR), were considered in the breed report. All other local breeds have been covered under non-descript category,” the document said. Breeds with a similar phenotypic characteristic of an identified breed, were also considered. These breeds have been called ‘graded breeds’, having more than 50 per cent phenotype characteristics of an identified breed. Some 52 per cent of cattle, which constituted 36.04 per cent of India’s livestock in the 20th census, were categorised as ‘Non-descript’. Twenty-six per cent were categorised as ‘Exotic’ and 22 per cent as ‘indigenous’. Jersey (54.9 per cent) and Holstein (43.3 per cent) formed the bulk of exotic and crossbred cattle in India, according to the report. There were 41 recognised indigenous cattle breeds in India, according to the 20th census. About 70.5 per cent of indigenous breeds belonged to the Non-Descript category. “Out of the remaining 29.5 per cent, 4.8 per cent contribution is from Gir and Lakhimi breeds following which Sahiwal contribute 4.2 per cent of total indigenous cattle. “Besides, the Bachaur breed contributes 3.1 per cent of indigenous cattle, other breeds such as Hariana, Kankrej and Kosali also contributed over 1 per cent of each of the total indigenous cattle. All other recognised breeds together contribute 8.1 per cent of the total cattle population,” the report noted. Who has what West Bengal had the most number of Gir cows (34.7 per cent), followed by Gujarat (25.6 per cent) and Rajasthan (15.2 per cent). West Bengal also had the most Sahiwal cows at 44.2 per cent. Jharkhand had the most Bachaur cows at 76.89 per cent while Uttar Pradesh had the most Hariana cows at 41.5 per cent.
