Once the backbone of agriculture in the Bundelkhand region, the Kenkatha breed of cattle that was once prolific in the villages on the banks of the river Ken is dwindling at an alarming rate. The indigenous breed can survive harsh weather conditions which makes it climate-resilient.

Fodder Crisis: 'We can't give our cattle to butcher. We gradually starve them to death'

By Somu Anand

Multiple factors have contributed to a surge in the fodder prices that have jumped three times within one year across several states in north India. From devastating heatwaves affecting production of wheat (later used as fodder), scarcity of water, farmers' preference for mustard crop, and and inter-state ban on fodder movement, an unprecedented fodder crisis is forcing cattle rearers to sell their cattle at throwaway prices, or abandon them. Here's a ground report from Rajasthan, the state with the second highest cattle population in the country.
