Gujarat Governor in Haryana, calls for increasing population of indigenous cows

Gujarat Governor Acharya Devvrat called upon farmer-cattle rearers to increase the population of indigenous cows, emphasising that fertile land and better health depended on it. He was addressing livestock farmers as the chief guest at the International Haryana Breed Cattle Show & Expo 2026, held at the International Institute of Veterinary Education and Research at Bahu Akbarpur village on Monday.

“A research conducted by scientists in Australia and New Zealand on the milk of Haryana indigenous cows and foreign breeds shows that indigenous cow milk is extremely beneficial for human health, whereas milk from foreign breeds may contribute to certain diseases. Indigenous cow milk not only strengthens physical health but also enhances intellectual ability,” said Acharya Devvrat.

The Governor stated that modern technologies were being used to rapidly increase the population of indigenous cows, with embryo transfer technology being a key method.

“Through this technique, multiple cows can be produced from a single indigenous cow. Currently, the number of indigenous cows in the state is limited, but thousands of high-quality cows can be developed using this technology, each capable of producing 20 to 22 kilograms of milk per day,” he added.

Acharya Devvrat highlighted that excessive use of chemical fertilisers had severely reduced soil fertility. “To restore it, it is essential to adopt indigenous cow-based natural farming. Organic products made from cow dung and urine help improve soil fertility. One gram of cow dung contains around 3 billion beneficial bacteria, while cow urine is a rich source of minerals,” he claimed.

The Governor also said free training facilities for preparing Jeevamrit and Ghan Jeevamrit were available at the Gurukul in Kurukshetra. He appealed to the farmers to adopt natural and organic farming to provide fertile land for future generations and promote indigenous cow rearing in every household.

On the occasion, he also announced a grant of Rs 5 lakh to the institute. Various animals from different states were showcased at the event, and Acharya Devvrat demonstrated milking an indigenous cow on stage to inspire the livestock farmers.
