VADODARA/ ANAND: ‘Dagri cow’ which is found in the tribal heartland of Central Gujarat has got national recognition paving way for conservation and preservation of its genes.
After Gir, Kankrej and Dangi, Dagri is the fourth indigenous breed of cow from Gujarat to get national recognition from the National Bureau of Animal Genetic Resources (NBAGR), the nodal agency of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) that registers the new breeds.
“We had prepared the report and submitted it to NBAGR in 2019. This breed has distinct characteristics because of which it has received national recognition,” said Dr K B Kathiria, vicechancellor of Anand Agricultural University (AAU). Kathiria, who is also director of research at AAU, had first noticed this distinct breed during field visits to Dahod a couple of years ago.
