Fatehabad Murrah Dairy Farming Ghaggar Belt
Contributed by Swadesi Editorial Team
Fatehabad district's Ghaggar belt villages maintain substantial Murrah buffalo dairy herds that supply milk to the district's Vita cooperative collection network and private dairy processors. The district's flat canal-irrigated cropland produces abundant berseem clover and paddy straw fodder that sustains high-productivity Murrah herds achieving 10-14 litres per animal per day yields. Fatehabad dairy farmers are participants in the National Mission on Bovine Productivity's performance recording scheme, with herd milk data transmitted by mobile apps that support breeding decisions; the district's dairy income supplements crop income to make Fatehabad one of the more prosperous districts of western Haryana.
