Tharveda’s Grass-Fed Cow Management – A Legacy of Care in Rajasthan

From Generations to Tharveda

At Tharveda, cow rearing is not just a business—it is our ancestral tradition. For generations, our families have combined kheti (farming) and cow care in the heart of Rajasthan. Even today, our relatives and fellow villagers stand with us, carrying forward this legacy together.

The desert of Rajasthan has always faced a major challenge—fodder scarcity. During monsoon, green fodder grows, but for most of the year, farmers rely only on dry fodder like wheat husk and rice straw, just to pass time for their cows.

But we at Tharveda chose a different path. Instead of compromising with our cows’ health, we started a unique system—every year, we bring our cows from Bikaner to our native village Bhakhranwali in Hanumangarh district, almost 500 km away, where water availability and fertile land allow us to grow organic green fodder.

Over time, many trustworthy farmers joined us, and today our collective strength has grown to over 1,755 cows, grazing freely in the charagah (pastures) and medano (grasslands) of Rajasthan.

For us, cow care is not about quantity—it is about quality, purity, and respect for nature.

Whether you’re at home or managing a busy schedule, our dependable delivery network makes sure your family never runs out of pure, nutritious milk. With real-time tracking, secure packaging, and early morning drop-offs, we take pride in delivering health and trust to your home — every single day.

We offer reliable doorstep delivery of milk and dairy products—fresh every morning.

At Tharveda, we believe that healthy cows mean healthy milk. That’s why our fodder system is carefully designed to balance seasonal green fodder with the natural herbs of Rajasthan.

Seasonal Green Fodder

Every year, we sow crops like bajra, moth, moong, maize, barley, and mustard seed cakes in our fields. These are harvested fresh, cut into small pieces with machines, and fed to our cows twice a day (morning & evening). This ensures that the cows always receive a nutritious, balanced, and chemical-free diet.

Desert Herbs – Nature’s Own Medicine

In addition to cultivated fodder, our cows graze freely on natural desert herbs such as neem, babul, and ashwagandha. These act as natural immunity boosters, keeping the cows disease-free without the need for chemical supplements.

 Sustainability & Availability

Unlike many farmers who rely only on dry fodder like wheat husk or rice straw, we manage a dual-location fodder system:

  • Bhakhranwali (Hanumangarh district) – fertile land with water availability, perfect for green fodder cultivation.

  • Bikaner region – desert-side grazing pastures for open roaming and natural herb intake.

This combination ensures our cows never suffer from fodder scarcity, even in the toughest desert conditions.

 Our Fodder System – Season-Wise Nutrition for Cows

At Tharveda, fodder is not just food—it’s a science of balance, care, and respect for our cows. We design our fodder system based on Rajasthan’s climate, ensuring that cows get nutritious, chemical-free diets year-round.
