Question

Breifly Explain the three group of Cattle breeds.... ​

Answer 1

Hi Aryan bro

Beef cattle are cattle raised for meat production (as distinguished from dairy cattle, used for milk production). The meat of mature or almost mature cattle is mostly known as beef. In beef production there are three main stages: cow-calf operations, backgrounding, and feedlot operations. The production cycle of the animals start at cow-calf operations; this operation is designed specifically to breed cows for their offspring. From here the calves are backgrounded for a feedlot. Animals grown specifically for the feedlot are known as feeder cattle, the goal of these animals is fattening. Animals not grown for a feedlot are typically female and are commonly known as replacement heifers. While the principal use of beef cattle is meat production, other uses include leather, and beef by-products used in candy, shampoo, cosmetics, insulin and inhalers.

The cattle breeds are classified into three groups:

(i) Milch breeds

⭐The cows of these breeds are good in milk-producing but bullocks are of poor quality.

⭐Examples: Gir, Sahiwal, Red Sindhi, Deoni, etc.

(ii) Draught breeds

⭐The bullocks of these breeds are good for working but cows are poor milk producers.

⭐Example: Malvi, Nageri, Hillakar, Kangayam, etc.

(iii) General utility breeds

⭐The cows of these breeds are good milk producers and the bullocks are good drought animals.

⭐Example: Haryana, Ongole, Kankrej, Tharparkar, etc.
