Q. Punganur Cow, recently seen in the news, is native to which state of India?
Answer:
Andhra Pradesh
Notes: The Prime Minister recently personally fed Punganur cows at his New Delhi residence. Punganur cows, native to Andhra Pradesh's Punganur village, are one of the world's smallest cattle breeds, standing 70-90 cm tall and weighing less than 200kg. Known for their resilience to drought, they adapt to low-quality feed and produce milk with 8% fat content, rich in nutrients. These eco-friendly cows play a significant role in cultural practices, as seen in Andhra Pradesh's temples, including Tirupati Thirumala Temple.
