About Vechoor CattleAbout Vechoor Cattle

The Vechoor cattle are a hardy breed that are well adapted to their native environment in the tropical regions of India. They are primarily found in the state of Kerala, where they are used for ploughing and transportation, as well as for dairy production. These cattle are characterized by their small size and distinctive hump on their back.

Vechoor cattle have a compact and muscular body, with a broad forehead and large nostrils. They come in a variety of colors, including black, red, white, and speckled. They are well known for their ability to resist disease and parasites, making them a popular choice for farmers in tropical regions.

One of the unique characteristics of the Vechoor breed is their ability to efficiently utilize the low quality roughage available in their region. This makes them ideal for small farmers who cannot afford to feed their cattle high quality feeds. Despite their small size, Vechoor cattle are capable of producing high yields of milk, with average yields ranging from two to three liters per day.

The breed's adaptability to their environment and resistance to disease have made them a valuable resource for farmers. However, despite their popularity, their population has been declining in recent years. Conservation efforts have been underway to ensure the survival of the breed, including the development of breeding programs and the creation of a herdbook.

Overall, the Vechoor cattle are a hardy and versatile breed that have played a significant role in the lives of farmers in the tropical regions of India.
