Amrut Gir Gaushala
The Home of Gir Cows
Gir Cow
• One of the best cow breeds in world
• Gir Cow milk is of high nutritional value containing 52 types of nutrients.
• Gir Cow milk is “Amrut”
A Century Ago…
• India was regarded as the “river of milk”.• There were lakhs of Gir cows in Saurashtra,
Gujarat and other parts of India.• In the 19th century, the British brought the
“high yield” Jersey Cows to India. • Jersey Cows were originally produced to satisfy
the “meat” demands of the west. Milk of Jersey cow is not fit for human consumption.
The Greed Increased
• Since Jersey Cows produced more milk and required relatively less cost of maintenance, people started adopting these cows and breeding them.
• As if this was not enough, Co-operative dairy movement started. Cow milk was purchased in large volumes by these dairies.
• Monetary Value of milk is decided based on the “percentage of fat” in the milk
Gir Cows Lost
• Gir Cow milk lost the battle because it had more “energy” and “nutritional value” but less “fat”
• Some people were not interested in energy or nutritional value, they were interested in “money”
• Cross breeding of Jersey cows started because it brought more “profits”
• Slowly but gradually, Gir Cows of original breed started declining
One Country Knew it!
• In 1960, Brazil imported 2 Gir cows and 2 Gir Bulls from the erstwhile Princely state of Bhavnagar
• Today, Brazil has over 2 million Gir Cows of original bloodline
• High quality milk of these cows is supplied across North and South America
During the same time…
• We kept losing our precious wealth - the “Gir Cow”
• We kept drinking low quality milk• We kept getting unhealthier• Because it was convenient• Because we did not care
Enter: 2013
• India has only a few thousand Gir Cows • Very few out these cows are of original “Gir”
bloodline• We have not only lost our cows, we have lost
our health, wealth and pride
It’s happening near you
• Gir Cows are cross-breeded • Cow farm owners wants to keep Buffalo and
Jersey • Cows are injected with steroids to produce
more milk making them unhealthy and sick• Cows eat garbage and left overs
• Cost of maintaining Jersey Cows turns out to be much higher because it is not the natural domicile of India
• Jersey Cows contain A1 type protein has been found to be the main reason behind diabetes, overweight and heart diseases
• Jersey cows, male child are “Bos Taurus” category and are not usable for farming or carting. Hence they are sent to butcher houses
The Lesser Known Facts about Jersey
