Forest-based grazingis a natural way of life and provides a balanced diet for cows. Cows raised by these communities graze freely in nearby forests during the day. Unlike commercial feedlots, where cows are often fed processed grains or fodder, forest-grazing cows consume a rich, diverse diet of grasses, herbs, and shrubs. This natural diet promotes their health and longevity enhances the nutritional value of their milk, which translates into superior dairy products like Ghee.
Cattle rearing has been a pillar of agriculture and livelihoods for thousands of years. Over generations, cattle rearing has become more and more financially motivated. With environmental sustainability, animal welfare, and food security in mind, there needs to be a shift towards conscious cattle rearing. With a holistic approach that balances economic viability with ethical and environmental responsibility, we can follow principles and practices of conscious cattle rearing.
