Ongoel
The Ongole breed, like other breeds of An ongole bull.cattle in India, takes its name from the geographical area in which it is produced. It is also called the Nellore breed for the reason that formerly Ongole Taluk, a division of a district, was included in the Nellore district, but now it is included in the Guntur district. The area is part of the Andhra Pradesh in India.
This breed is included among the gray-white cattle of the north, having white or gray color, stumpy horns and a long coffin-shaped skull. It has a great similarity with the Gaolao breed of Madhya Predesh and also has a resemblance to the Bhagnari type of cattle in the north of India. This similarity is not surprising in view of the fact that these breeds lie along the path taken by the Rig Vedic Aryans in their march from the north to the south of India.
It is claimed that the finest specimens of the breed are found in the area between the Gundalakama and Alluru rivers in the Ongole and Kandukur taluks, and also in the villages of Karumanchi, Nidamanur, Pondur, Jayavaram, Tungtoor and Karvadi and along the banks of River Musi. They are also famous from the taluks of Vinukonda and Narasraopet.
When it comes to managing livestock, especially Ongoel cattle, a traditional and hardy breed found in various regions, one of the most critical aspects of efficient farm management is effective grazing. Ongoel cattle, valued for their resilience, milk production, and adaptability to various terrains, require careful attention to grazing patterns to ensure their well-being and optimize milk yield.managing grazing can be time-consuming and challenging, especially when cattle are spread across vast or rugged areas. This is where a Cattle Grazing Monitoring System comes in, providing innovative solutions to help farmers manage grazing practices more efficiently and sustainably.
