Following the demand of people of Haryana, the A2 milk of indigenous cows has been made available online.
The State Government had in July launched pasteurised A2 milk of indigenous cow for sale to public and had become the first State in the country to provide pure milk of desi cow to the consumers.
The A2 milk is now provided online by Vita plant at a rate of Rs 60 per litre.
Chairman, Haryana Dairy Development Co-operative Federation limited, Gl Sharma while interacting with media persons in Sirsa on Monday said that the Federation would soon have capacity of 5,000 litres for which concerted efforts are being made. A plant for A2 milk of desi cow has been set up at Kurukshetra where 5,000 liters of milk would be processed soon.
Earlier, there was capacity of only 2,000 litres of cow milk to be made available, but now it has been increased to 3,000 litres, said he.
Sharma said that milk of indigenous cows has A2 ingredient in it which is very useful for people suffering from various diseases.
Vita is providing A2 milk in North India. Vita provides this milk in India after producing it with high quality. The A2 milk being obtained from Haryanvi, Sahiwal and Rathi breeds of indigenous cows, is tested by National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal and National Dairy Development Board. At present, milk was being obtained from 300-350 cows only and soon this capacity would be increased, he said.
Recently, a memorandum was signed between Indian Oil Corporation limited (IOCl) and Haryana Dairy Development Cooperative Federation limited. As per the MoU, the Vita milk booths would be set up at about 1500 petrol pumps of IOCl for the sale of milk and milk products.
