The reason for its popularity is that Sahiwal is comparatively more efficient in terms of milk production and birth to young ones. Apart from this, its milk contains more fat contents, which is very healthy in comparison to other imported cow breeds. The milk of Sahiwal contains 5-6% fat whereas other breeds have only 3% fat. check the A2 Milk Certification at www.labcertificates.shuddham.in
