Badri Cow in news! — Balanced Report

Uttarakhand is currently preparing for genetic modification of its native, little Badri cow, which grazes on the healing plants of the Himalayas.
The Badri Cow is a type of indigenous cow found in Uttarakhand.
Because this cow forages on local bushes and herbs in the Himalayas, her milk has a high medicinal potential.
These cattle are well suited to the weather conditions and hilly terrain of Uttarakhand.
The steep Almora and Pauri Garhwal districts of Uttarakhand are home to this hardy and disease-resistant breed.
Given that this breed rarely contracts diseases, disease resistance is a crucial trait.

This breed has a robust immune system.
The Badri cow’s milk has one of the highest percentages of A2 beta-casein proteins of any indigenous breed, at approximately 90%.
Pure desi ghee’s antioxidants aid in better vitamin and mineral absorption, enhancing immunity.
By boosting the development of T cells in the gut, which aids in the defence against allergens, butyric acid in Badri cow ghee helps to increase immunity.

The State officials suggested using sex-sorted semen technology to increase Badri cattle productivity.
In order to create more cattle with a strong genetic foundation, they also suggested choosing the embryo transfer procedure.

The price of Badri ghee ranges from Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 5,000 per kg.
Cow dung, Panchgavya, and Gaumutra Ark (distilled cow urine) all have enormous business potential (the five products of the cow, including milk, curd, ghee, dung and urine).
