In-House Dairy & Rare Cattle at Pragati: Where Biodiversity Meets Nutrition

At Pragati Resorts Hyderabad, our commitment to biodiversity extends beyond plants and trees — it lives and breathes through our in-house dairy and heritage cattle breeds. We nurture one of India’s most diverse and sustainable cattle ecosystems, where indigenous cows graze freely on medicinal and herbal gardens, creating a rare synergy between herbs, animals, and human health.

The Herbal-Cow Connection: Nature’s Perfect Cycle

There exists a profound, often overlooked connection between herbs and cows. As our cows roam the herbal gardens, they instinctively select the most medicinal and nutritious plants. These herbs enrich their system and are then passed on to humans and soil through cow milk, ghee, urine, and dung.

This symbiotic cycle nourishes the land, boosts immunity in humans, and maintains the fertility of the soil naturally—a perfect demonstration of biodiversity-based dairy farming.

Ongole Bulls: India’s Largest and Most Resilient Cattle Breed

Our Goshala is home to the iconic Ongole Bull, known for:

• Toughness in tropical climates
• Natural disease resistance
• Worldwide recognition as the first Indian breed with global popularity

Weighing over 500 kg, standing 1.7 meters tall, and measuring 2 meters in girth, Ongole bulls symbolize the strength of Indian biodiversity. Their resilience and power make them ideal for natural farming and breeding programs.

Rare & Indigenous Cattle Breeds at Pragati

At Pragati, we have built a living repository of rare indigenous cattle breeds, including:

• Punganoor: Dwarf cows known for high-quality milk
• Giri: Originating from Gujarat, known for endurance
• Sahiwal: High milk-yielding breed from Punjab
• Tharparkar: Heat-tolerant cows from Rajasthan
• Kapil: A lesser-known heritage breed

Our cows are reared with freedom, allowed to roam and graze in a pollution-free, herb-rich ecosystem. This results in:

• Nutrient-rich milk
• Improved soil biodiversity
• Healthier animals without hormones or antibiotics

We also rear rare mountain sheep breeds, expanding our commitment to preserving India's diverse animal heritage.

A Model for Natural Dairy & Eco-Farming

Pragati's in-house dairy is more than a milk source — it is an ecosystem of healing, nutrition, and sustainability. From Ayurvedic farming methods to desi cow ghee production, every practice is rooted in ancient Indian wisdom and environmental consciousness.

We aim to inspire others to adopt this holistic model of dairy biodiversity, where cows, herbs, and humans live in mutual benefit.
