Senaapathy Kangayam Cattle Research Foundation

Senaapathy Kangayam Cattle Research Foundation (SKCRF) is an in situ conservation and breeding centre based in Kuttapalayam in Tirupur district of Tamil Nadu. SKCRF functions as a resource and research centre working on conservation of native breeds of cattle. Awareness is focussed more intensely for the Kangayam breed and the Korangadu, a unique silvi pastoral land and farming system which is unique to Kongu region, mid-western Tamilnadu. Kangayam breed and the Korangadu are interdependent and hence they need to be protected from the serious threats that they face. SKCRF also works to preserve the bio-cultural values and the uniqueness around our indigenous breeds of livestock and the traditional knowledge associated with it.
