About Ongole CattleAbout Ongole Cattle

Ongole cattle are a breed of cattle that originated from Prakasam District in Andhra Pradesh, India. They are known for their resistance to foot and mouth disease and mad cow disease, their strength and aggressiveness, making them popular for bull fights in Mexico and some parts of East Africa. They are traditionally raised by local farmers, fed by rivers in the Nallamala Hills and the Krishna River. Ongole bulls have been exported to several countries, including the US, and have contributed to the development of other breeds such as Nelore in Brazil and Santa Gertrudis in Texas. The Ongole breed is known for its toughness, rapid growth rate, and natural tolerance to tropical heat, making it the first Indian breed of cattle to gain worldwide recognition. They are heavy, weighing approximately half a ton, with a height of 1.7 meters, body length of 1.6 meters, and girth of 2 meters. Ongole cows have a milk yield of 600-2518 kg and a butterfat content of over 5%, resulting in well-nourished calves with considerable growth by weaning.
