Abstract


No excuse is needed for introducing the subject of the improvement of Indian cattle on the occasion of the Jubilee of the M.A.S.U.for not only are cattle of immense economic importance to the country,but in view of the exceptional position held by the cow in India.the subject is one that should be very close to the hearts of all.From the economic point of view .the ox is the foremost prime mover in the world.and is responsible for the tillage of a greater area than any other draft animal.nor does there seem reason to anticipate that this supremacy will be seriously challenged in the near future.The use of cow's milk is being more and more advocated by the medical authorities both for adults and children and as there is no satisfactory substitute.the demand for milk is limited only by the cost at which it can be produced.
