It seems to be a combination of sanction and loose barn. Cleaning is done once a day at the morning using loose pipe but not up to the standard mark. No disinfectant is used to clean the house. Feeding of roughape and concentrate are done separately following thumb’s rule. Milking is done in the morning with limited sanitation care. Milk is distributed in bottles and cans with no scientific care. Artificial insemination is done by the District AI centre office. The animals are usually taken out for grazing at the CVASU playing field which cannot nourish the animals at all. FMD, Mastitis, undiagonosed fever, and cold were found to be recorded. No routine vaccination is done. Record of rabies vaccine was found once. Calf mortality was recorded at minimum. Markedly it is found that the only CVASU mare is also housed with the animal.
