Vechur Cattle
This is a native breed of cattle from Kerala and is the smallest breed in the world.


Cross Bred Jersey Cattle from Kerala
Cross breeding in cattle had begun as a policy decision from the 1970's utilizing semen of exotic breeds like Brown swiss, Jersey and Holstein Friesan , resulting in conversion of majority of the desi cattle into crossbreds called Sunandini. Due to absence of proper record keeping the envisaged result has not been achieved.
