Over 415 milch cows will be brought from Austria to Armenia in May,
2009. The Armenian government has earmarked 500 billion drams to
provide the transportation of Simental cows. Yet, ordinary peasants
cannot afford such a luxury, besides, the cows need special care.
Today, "Caucasian Grey" cows are largely spread in Shirak marz. To
provide stock-raising, new species are generally imported to the
country. They are either crossbred with local species to increase
their milk yield or are bred separately as noble animals.
As soon as new species are imported to Armenia, they are put on
sale in different marzes. Nowadays interbreeding is only available
to cattle farmers. Undoubtedly, an ordinary peasant cannot afford
to pay â~B¬3500 for a cow. Simental cows should be kept inside the
cattle shed all day round. Our cows lose great energy when walking
in the field, therefore they have low milk yield.
The partnership between Armenian and Australia in the sphere of
agriculture started in 2007. Experts say the milk capacity of our
cows will better in the nearest future.
