Hariana Cattle

Cattle and Cattle Breeds

The Hariana is a dual-purpose Indian breed of zebu cattle native to Haryana state in north India, particularly the districts of Rohtak, Jhajjar, Karnal, Kurukshetra, Jind, Hisar, Nuh and Gurugram, and also found in eastern Punjab. It is a medium to large, white or grey animal with short horns and a narrow, long face, valued for both draught work and milk, typically producing 10 to 15 liters of milk a day. It is counted among the 75 recognized zebu (Bos indicus) breeds and is noted for better disease resistance in the region's climate than imported breeds such as the Holstein Friesian.

They produce about 10 to 15 litres of milk a day, compared to 8.9 litres when cross-bred with Holstein Friesian cattle (HS), whereas pure HS can produce 50 litres a day, but it is not as disease-resistant in the conditions of North India.
