Scientists, Farmers Push for Mithun Inclusion in Livestock Mission

Imagine a special kind of cow called mithun that lives in Northeast India.

Scientists and farmers there want the government to help them take care of these animals.

They're asking for mithun to be included in a government program that helps farmers with their livestock.

Mithun are important because they provide food, like meat and milk, and are part of the culture.

Including mithun in the program would allow scientists to study how to raise them better, create more jobs, and boost the economy.

It would also help protect these animals from disappearing.

The government recognizes that mithun are important.
