इतिहास और वंशावली
Dangi developed in the Dang region — among India's heaviest-rainfall zones. The greasy coat is a unique adaptation. The breed is maintained primarily by tribal communities; institutional support is minimal.
Dangi क्यों महत्वपूर्ण है
Dangi shows that India has cattle adapted to monsoon hills, not just hot plains. The breed is unique in its rain-shedding coat.
