Hariana, or haryanvi, is an Indian breed of cow native to North India, specially in the state of Haryana. They are one of the 75 known breeds of zebu (Bos indicus). They produce about 10 to 15 liters of milk a day, compared to 8.9 liters when cross-bred with Holstein Friesian cattle (HS), whereas pure HS can produce 50 liters a day, but it is not as disease-resistant in the conditions of North India.
The breed is native to Rohtak, Karnal, Kurukshetra, Jind, Hissar, and Gurugram districts in the state of Haryana. The cattle are of medium to large size, and are generally of white to gray shades in color.
Their horns are short and their face is narrow and long. The cows are fairly good milk yielders, and the bulls are good at work. They are an important dual-purpose, milk and draught, cattle breed.
