They graze on steep slopes in thic forest. Cows in milk return by the milking time. Animals are also fed leaves of the forest trees like khanyu, gogun, kairalo, chuletro, and residues of crops like ginger leaves and paddy straw. In few cases Napier and Gotamala grasses and maize are fed to animals. Milking cows are also fed home made concentrate, prepared by boiling together maize and rice grains, raddish with leaves, kuish fruits and mustard cake.
