Addressing the panel discussion on the subject ‘cow-war-peace-awareness’ here on Saturday he said, we come to know that in history Hyder Ali used Amruth Mahal cattle breed during war.Cow was the bone of contention for 1857 siphoy mutiny. If we take puranas, we can visualize that cow was the reason for Parashu Ram for taking war as an option to reach his goal. Likewise, history says that cow played active role both in war and peace, he added.

Country has 40,000 acres of agricultural land and a cost of Rs 15,000 crores needed for purchasing tractors for tillage. Happy thing is that Indian breed cattle were handling this job very efficiently. Besides, they played important role in transport sector, he added.

Later country imported Indian breeds like jabu, Concreage, Ongol, Gheer etc for dairying and preparing mutton. They show good sustenance and now in Brazil more than 90 per cent cattle breed belongs to India. Now Brazil is a leading country in dairying and the credit goes to Indian cattle breed, he added.
