In a context of business wherein agriculture often prioritizes production over ethics, our Organic farms in Chennai stands as a beacon of nature-friendly. Unlike modern dairy farms, which compromises animal welfare and environmental sustainability for bulk manufacturing, we embrace a holistic approach that values each cow as an individual and the environment as a supreme resource. This web blog explores how our cows are different from cattles in the modern farms.
Native Breed:
Our cows are local Indian breeds, perfectly adapted to thrive in their natural habitat. Unlike the overseas breeds utilized in modern dairies, our native cows are well-suited to our climate, soil, and water conditions. This natural compatibility ensures their wellness and well-being and complements the quality of the milk they produce. By choosing local breeds, we help biodiversity and promote sustainable farming practices that recognize and utilize the strengths of our ecosystem.
Natural & Organic Fodder
Our cow's diet comprises fresh organic green fodder grown naturally using cattle dung and farm products. As in organic fodder, we ensure that our cows are not affected by any hormones and chemicals. This commitment is essential to guarantee that our cows are fed the best, freshest feed, and this has the added advantage of making the cows healthy, hence producing the best cow milk in Chennai. Milk production that involves certified organic farming as utilized in the farming of our cows improves our cows' health and positively impacts the management of environment-friendly agriculture practices.
Free Grazing & Un-Tied
The cows can move within our expansive farms, where they are free to feed on the pastures on the farm. The freedom to graze throughout the spaces allows them to live as per their instincts, benefiting the health of the animals. They have direct access to clean water and are fed fresh, healthy and organically produced fodder grown on our farms. This approach benefits the cows and gives them the ability to produce fresh milk free of synthetic components. Hence, by promoting free-grazing and left un-tied, we create an environment for our cows which is natural and sustainable.
No Hormones & No Antibiotics
Our native cows are not affected by diseases easily and do not have weak immunity. In case our cows are affected by any ailments, we use natural ways for healing by using medical herbs available locally and the plants grown on our farm. We do not use antibiotics and modern medicine or any form of chemical input if there is any other available and effective method of prevention and cure. This approach helps to guarantee that our milk remains clean and unadulterated by unnecessary by-products and meets our mission of nurturing and our duty of stewardship to our cows. Thus, the reliance on natural remedies helps to stay the course of organic and environmentally friendly methods in farming and dairy production.
Natural Impregnation
As for reproduction, in commercial dairy production, it is common to use Artificial Insemination (AI) to make the cows pregnant. However, we prefer natural breeding on the farm through which bulls naturally breed calves. This methodology regards the natural cyclicities of these cows and the impulsive behaviors related to conception and calving. One is to let our cows breed freely and naturally to enhance their living standards, improve the quality of our stock, and therefore obtain better quality milk.
Our dairy farm represents the vision of ethical treatment of animals, including sustainable practices, and provision of quality organic milk in Chennai. Thus, our nature-friendly strategy supports the well-being of the cows and the earth since it promotes an environmentally friendly approach to agriculture. Let us stand together towards changing the current form of farming geared towards production, especially for our dairy cows, and the quality of the milk they produce. In this way, we can build the future of agriculture based on the concept of ‘work with nature,’ meaning that through cooperation, we are changing the situation and configuring the conditions under which people, animals, and plants can live and develop.
