AP Biodiversity board is now claiming royalty for ‘Brahma or Brahman’
bull an Ongole bull taken and bred widely in Brazil, United States and Australia.
The bull, scientifically known as Bos indicus, has great demand as it is known to have
resistance to foot and mouth disease and for 'delicious beef'. The biodiversity Board
chairman Dr R Hampaiah who returned to city from Brazil after attending a conference on
Biodiversity said that steps are being initiated for access benefit sharing from the
breeders associations of countries using the Ongole or Bhrama bull.
Ironically farmers from AP associated with an NGO and other parts of India are now going
to 'World Brahma Bull Congress' in Panama for buying the brahma bulls to be held from
July 1 to 8. “An NGO called Ankush based in Himayatnagar has approached us for buying
Brahma bulls from this congress and sought the permission of animal husbandry department
for importing the cattle,”
He added,”we have to apply for geographical indicator for Ongole Bull apart from Red
Sanders and KPVulli(krishnapuram vulli, onion, near Mydukur). The Brahma cow gives 45
litres of milk a day. There are several restaurants with Brahma bull beef on their menu
in Brazil and United States. The bulls are auctioned in the congress. Even they are
admitting that it is Ongole bull originally. They may have improved the breed
genetically. Under the act we have right to claim roayality,”
The Ongole bullers are first found in the geographical area between Gundlakamma and
Alluru rivers in the Ongole and Kandukur mandals .
“The Brazilians are regularly approaching local Ongole bull farmers to maintain the
originality of the breed. Its American off-breed "The Brahman Bull" has to maintain the
pure bloodlines of the Ongole bull. Though the first bull has gone in 1900s they are
still taking the bulls from here now. In auction they earn millions of dollars by selling
Brahma or Bhraman bull,” said Mr Hampaiah."..Good Ongole sires from villages of the breeding area are being bought by Latin
Americans and taken away from the breeding area, while their semen is frozen and
unofficially shipped out to Latin America. These sires will never return to the area
again,," said M Narendranath a farmer and secretary of Ongole cattle improvement society
in his paper published by Food and Agricultural organisation of United Nations.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteGood work on pointing it out that the breed is infact Ongole. Apart from Brahman, the actual ongole breed in US is called Nelore and are registered under Brahman book by ABBA.
I have 1 Ongole/ Nelore heifer here in the US but I do have plans on coming to India and start breeding pure Ongole cows and bulls to preserve the breed where it originated.
Do you have any contacts in AP that can help me with establishing the foundation herd?
Thanks.
Ongole cow / bull is the bread which has its own quality of heavy milk production as well as greater resistance for diseases based on this reason it semen was taken to Netherlands, Malaysia, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay, Indonesia, West Indies, Australia, Fiji, Mauritius, Indo-China Philippines America Malaysia Belgium and Texas. initially there was an agreement with these nations that some amount of royalty from their dairy business should be given to Andhra Pradesh state which sums more than Rs. 50,00,000,00,00,00,000/- this took part a minimum 50 years back. During that period this particular bread was located at an area which belongs to Nellore district hence during that period this bread was called as Nellore bread. In all the international agreements this bread was mentioned as Nellore bread only. After Prakasam district was formed on Feb. 20th 1970, the area where this bread is situated became a part of Prakasam and as Ongole was announced as the capital of Prakasam district the name of this bread was changed as Ongole bread. till now not even a single pie was paied by thoses nations. regarding this no chief minister of combined Andhra Prasdeh reacted. now ongole has become a part of Seemandhrapradesh. Now, instead of bringing this to the notice of our hon. prime minister, the government of Seemandhrapradesh as well as some organizations started to collect money form the citizens of Seemandhrapradesh towards the capital establishment and there is no guarantee that entire amount which is going to be collected will be utilizes in a proper way. if this entire amount was collected from the above said nations was done all the problems for seemandhra will be solved. As the result of the postings in the face book page- bjp samwad cell seemandhra, Hindu Swayam Sevaks are redy to fight for us by pressurising the corresponding nations. Mr. Komal Patel of U.K. is the first person to come forword to fight for us and he also tole that he will lead the movement. His contact number is 00447534288877 and his email id is patel.komalkr@gmail.com
