BREEDING OPERATIONS AT TCR JENGKA SPRINGS

Introduction:

The cattle shown in these photographs are the foundation heifers and breeding dams we have chosen to form the basis of our first breeding herd.

Based on the hardy resilient indigenous Malaysian Zebu, a tropical breed commonly referred to as the KK (Kedah Kelantan) or Lembu KK and the LID (Local Indian Dairy) animal.

These hardy native animals will form the backbone of our Malaysian breed development program, promoting the conservation of a native and proven bloodline to meet the immediate and future requirements of the integrated ‘under palm’ farming industry, our finishing feedlots and Halal processors.

TCR is also committed to breeding a productive tropical dairy animal and a initiating a tropical beef breed development program based on the improved KK in essence a KK/Boran cross.
