5. Sirohi goat
The Sirohi goat was developed by the Raika. It is
multi-coloured and has very good milk yield.
6. Marwari goat
The Marwari goat is also known as black goat. It is
more drought resistant, but gives less milk than the
Sirohi goat.
7. Camels
We breed dromedary camels. Earlier we took care of the camel breeding herds of the
Maharajahs, but after Independence we took over the tolas. Different breeds developed in
different parts of Rajasthan and even in Madhya Pradesh. Their scientific names are Bikaneri,
Jaisalmeri, Marwari, Mewari and Malvi. We ourselves do no distinguish these breeds, but we
know the villages and areas from which the best camels come. For instance, the Sanchore
camel is very famous.
