History of Jamnapari

The name is derived from the location of the breed beyond the river Jamna (Jamna Par) in Uttar Pradesh . [ A distinct strain.cal1ed Ramdhan (also known locally as Kandari Ka Khana) originated from a cross between a doe from the Alwar region in Rajasthan and a Jamnapari buck; it has a typical nose shape, even more like a parrot mouth than is usual1y observed in the true breed. The strain is known to have better milk production and growth, but its flocks are very limited in number.]
