Dairy Show 2014

Dairy show 2014 was held at Hitex, Hyderabad between Feb 1 – 3 showcasing various breeds of cattle, latest technologies, equipment and government schemes to promote dairy sector.

Glad to say that this year native breeds like Ongole, punganur, Gir, Vechur dominated the show. Most of the progressive farmers are keen on preserving these precious breeds.

Various technologies involving Hydroponic fodder, Silage preparation, Azolla cultivation along with different kinds of fodder were on display. Hydroponic technology attracted most of the farmers but seemed expensive without any subsidies.


Equipment like Milking machines, Chaff cutters, mini bottling and packing units were on display.
