वाचवलेली प्रत्येक Kasaragod Dwarf गाय या वारसा वंशाचे रक्षण करण्याचे महत्त्वाचे पाऊल आहे. एक दत्तक घेण्याचा किंवा Kerala मधील सत्यापित गौशाळेला पाठिंबा देण्याचा विचार करा.
रोम/त्वचा: मिश्र — लाल, काळे, फिकट तपकिरी, पांढरे ठिपके.
कासरगोड गुरे उत्तर केरळच्या पारंपरिक लहान-धारकांच्या गायी होत्या — संवर्धन साहित्यात वेच्चूरने झाकलेल्या पण तितक्याच महत्त्वाच्या. कमी संस्थात्मक पाठिंबा; लोकसंख्या घटत आहे.
कासरगोड कमी-ज्ञात बुटक्या जातींपैकी एक आहे — दृश्यमानता हीच संवर्धनाच्या बाबतीत मदत करते.
