Senaapathy Kangayam Cattle Research Foundation (SKCRF) has been advocating and practicing ethical organic farming. The cattle in the farm grow in stress free environment in the open grass lands called Korangadu. This is called ecological livestock keeping. The Korangadu is a unique habitat comprising of Velan trees spread in regular intervals and with nearly 23 types of vegetation. With no pesticides in the grazing land, the cattle are raised harmoniously in their ecosystem grazing all day. As the cattle grazes on abundant kolukuttai grass and velan pods in the open natural environment thereby reducing external inputs making it a sound sustainable method of livestock keeping.

The major advantage is that the cattle rarely falls sick as it gets the best nutrition and immunity. So the occasion of cows being given any medicine or unwanted antibiotics which are harmful to them and us does not arise. The calcium rich soil in the region adds to the vigour of the cattle and the milk that it provides. Hence it is a much sought after milk for young ones and women for nutrition, immunity and calcium requirements. This milk is recommended by ayurvedic practitioners in their treatment. The milk of Kangayam is recognized as healthy and nutritious milk which has no bad fat and is prescribed by doctors for children up to the age of 7. The ghee of this region is world famous due to ecological livestock keeping and calcium found in soil.To ensure all these things, SKCRF has been actively practicing advocating the best practices in these areas.
