Anak lembu Yellow Cattle

Yellow Cattle calf.

In 2007, with much controversy, DVS imported 2000 heads of Yellow Cattle from China. We overcome many obstacles in doing it, including financial and biosecurity. For years this herd undergoes long quarantine in DVS farms with heavy disease testing and monitoring. Now, the herd started multiplying fast.

This breed has a high calving rate, more than 90% annually. They adapted fast to Malaysian climate and pasture with high resistant to local diseases. They are also small and almost the same size with the local breed, Kedah-Kelantan makes it suitable to cross-breed with. In near future, next year maybe, DVS will be using the herd progeny for breeding and production programmes throughout the country.
