About SKCRF

Senaapathy Kangayam Cattle Research Foundation (SKCRF) is an in situ conservation and breeding centre based in Kuttapalayam in Tirupur district of Tamil Nadu. SKCRF functions as a resource and research centre working on conservation of native breeds of cattle. Awareness is focussed more intensely for the Kangayam breed and the Korangadu, a unique silvi pastoral land and farming system which is unique to Kongu region, mid-western Tamilnadu. Kangayam breed and the Korangadu are interdependent and hence they need to be protected from the serious threats that they face. SKCRF also works to preserve the bio-cultural values and the uniqueness around our indigenous breeds of livestock and the traditional knowledge associated with it.
