Cute Sahiwal Baby Cows for SALE | Price 13,000 for Each Calf | Cattle & Livestock Market in Karachi HD Sahiwal is a breed of Zebu cattle which primarily is used in dairy production. Sahiwal originated from the Sahiwal district of Punjab province in Pakistan. Sahiwal is a breed of Zebu cattle, which is loved for its ability to give high quality milk with high butter fat content. It is fairly resistant to tick borne diseses and thrives in arid and semi-arid areas where pure exotic breeds find it difficult to cope. Among small scale farmers, the breed is used for milk production, while in ranches, it is used primarily for commercial meat production. The biggest advantage of the Sahiwal is its higher milk production compared to the Boran; its weaners are healthier and heavier (60 – 75 kg). The Sahiwal originated from Sahiwal district of Pakistan, and reared in the Punjab region of India. Sahiwal is known for its easy calving, rapid weight gain, heat and drought tolerance, capacity to cope with bloat, hybrid vigour and longevity (they can reproduce up to 20 years). Sahiwal beef is noted for its even fat cover and leanness. The breed was introduced in Kenya in the 1930s and 1940s and has been bred in the marginal areas for both beef and milk. Physical characteristics Sahiwal’s colour ranges from reddish brown to red, with varying amounts of white on the neck, and the underline. In males, the colour darkens towards the head, neck, legs, and tail. The tail ends with a black switch. The breed is also known for drooping ears. The hump is massive, but in the female it is nominal. At the KARI multiplication centres (Naivasha and Perkerra), adult females weigh 460 kg and males weigh 680kgs, though higher values for males have been documented. They produce small calves (average weight of 27kg) without difficulty or requiring assistance. Sahiwal is also relatively resistant to tick-borne diseases, though not as much as Boran. These characteristics make the Sahiwal attractive to the arid and semi-arid lands of Kenya. Kenya has made great contribution to the improvement, conservation and distribution of the Sahiwal genetic pool. The farm has two main objectives to produce pure-bred Sahiwal cattle for use in the arid and semi-arid areas, and cross breeding of Sahiwals with exotic breeds such as Friesians to produce a breed that is suitable for milk production in both high and low rainfall areas. The success of the breeding program has also seen the Sahiwal exported to South Africa where it is being reared both as a pure breed and used for cross breeding with Brahman, Simmental and the indigenous Nguni. In Kenya, Sahiwal has more advantages over other Zebu breeds in the market. It's used for dual-purpose production in middle to lower-potential areas. In fact, the animal is so popular among the Maasai. Its color is referred to as rangi ya pesa. Sahiwal is an excellent grazer, able to use pastures in arid and semi-arid areas, making it a good alternative choice for farmers who are not interested in zero grazing or want to have both milk and beef. Cross-breeding with Fresian, Jersey or Ayshire increases the milk production potential of its heifer. A Sahiwal-Friesian cow gives higher milk yields compared to a purebred Sahiwal, yet it does not eat as much as the Friesian breed. The breed is also resistant to most of the common cattle diseases compared to the Fresian. According to research conducted by KARI, the Fresian-Sahiwal cross gives average milk yields of 15-18kgs per day. Calves grow faster and so heifers can be served early. Feeding Sahiwal thrives on natural pastures - including Kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum), star grass (Cynodon plectostachyum) as well as raised fodder grasses like Boma Rhodes (Chloris gayana), Foxtail grass (Cenchrus Ciliaris) and Fodder Sorghum, among others. It is advised that the cows are grazed rotationally in paddocks to give grasses time to re-grow. Water and mineral licks should be provided as the farmer desires. Sahiwal cows kept for milk production can be supplemented with a protein legume and concentrate for more milk production. Please Like The Video And Comment Below Your Feedback.
