“…The maximum animal houses had asbestos sheets, which might be due to its easy availability, cheap cost and comparatively lower maintenance. Similar results were reported by (Singh et al, 2007;Varaprasad et al, 2013;Singh et al,2014 andSabapara et al, 2015) in their respective survey regions.…”

“…Proper heat detection, timely insemination and pregnancy diagnosis in the dairy animals affects the overall profitability from the dairying (Prajapati et al, 2015).The state of Uttarakhand is located in Western Himalayan region and is one of the geographically smallest state of the country. The livestock sector in the state provides livelihood to majority of the people (Pundir et al, 2014). Although, U.S. Nagar district in Tarai region contributes to highest livestock production in the state of Uttarakhand but still there is an ample gap between the livestock population and their corresponding production level because, the farmer's adopt different types of husbandry practices based on their knowledge.…”

A field survey was conducted to collect the information on existing housing and breeding management practices followed by the dairy animal owners in Tarai region of Uttarakhand. The results revealed that 91.25 per cent of farmers adopted group housing system for their animals. Kuccha type of floor and asbestos roof was observed in 79.38 per cent and 26.25 per cent of animal houses respectively. Poor drainage facility was observed in 41.50 per cent of animal sheds. About, 89.38 per cent farmers provided their animals with provision of shade from trees. Around, 87.50 per cent farmers considered body weight as the main criteria to consider first time mating and 83.00 per cent farmers relied on mucus discharge along with bellowing as most important signs of heat detection. 98.12 per cent of farmers preferred artificial insemination over natural service as method of mating in their animals, but only 9.00 per cent farmers relied upon the views given by experienced veterinarians. About, 88.13 per cent of farmers practiced mating through A.I or natural service between 8 to 12 hours after heat detection. Pregnancy diagnosis was preferred by only few of farmers 6.00 per cent however, it was performed by qualified veterinarian in 2.50 per cent cases. All of the farmers adopted the practice of maintenance of breeding records of their animals.

“…The breed have short lactation length (208 days) and relatively long dry period 138 days (4-6 months). These are well adapted to the hilly terrain and climatic conditions, comparatively more resistant to diseases (Pundir et al 2014) and can play signi cant role in development of Uttarakhand as an organic state (Banga et al 2005). The livestock owners of the state prefer Badri cattle over other animals in terms of religious value, better adaptability in hilly region, disease resistance, medicinal properties of milk and urine, good manure, requires less external inputs, milk avour, excellent feed conversion e ciency and draught power (Joshi et al 2018).…”

The present investigation was undertaken to study the effect of different stages of lactation on erythrocyte osmotic fragility, blood leucocyte indices and milk somatic cell count in indigenous Badri cattle. Badri is first registered indigenous, dual purpose cattle breed of the state Uttarakhand (India) mainly reared in hilly areas of the state. Osmotic fragility evaluates the stability of erythrocyte membrane to osmotic stress. Leucocytes form defence mechanism against invading micro-organisms. Somatic cell count is an indicator of udder health. The study was carried out in forty healthy Badri cows divided into five groups according to their lactation stages viz. group 1 (0–60 days), group 2 (61–120 days), group 3 (121–180 days), group 4 (181–240 days) and group 5 (to be dried off). Erythrocyte osmotic fragility, blood total leucocyte count (TLC), differential leucocyte count (DLC) and milk somatic cell count (SCC) were estimated. The percent hemolysis of erythrocytes among different groups was significant (p < 0.05) at 0.9% and 0.5% saline concentrations. A significant effect (p < 0.05) of lactation stages on blood lymphocytes, neutrophils and milk somatic cell count was observed.

“…Timely heat detection and insemination and pregnancy diagnosis in cattle and buffalos enhance the overall productivity and profitability from the dairying [9]. The mixed crop livestock enterprise is required to small holders for sustainable income of tribal farmers [10] and livestock sector provides livelihood to majority of the population of India [11]. Cattle and buffalo population of Chhattisgarh is 99,839,54 and 11,74,722 respectively [1].…”

Nutritional requirement is exceptionally important and breeding practice is decisive factor for improvement of farm animals. The present field survey was conducted in district Surajpur of Chhattisgarh state to find out feeding and breeding management practice carried out by farmers. A predesigned questionnaire schedule formulated and data were collected from randomly selected 200 household of 10 village of district Surajpur. Heat detection on the basis of symptoms and artificial insemination as method of breeding was adopted by majority of farmers. Data regarding feeding practices reveal that 1/3rd farmers followed stall feeding and 2/3rd were using stall feeding along with grazing. Concentrate feeding practiced by 2/3rd respondents. Paddy and wheat straw was the main source of dry fodder in studied area.
