Dual purpose breeds of cow is

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option A
Dual-purpose breeds of cows are Ongole and Kankrej.
Dual purpose breeds are considered acceptable for both milk and beef but are less productive and efficient at both. In the past, most farmers didn't specialize in meat or dairy. Livestock that served both purposes was vital.
The cows in these breeds are average milk yielders and male animals are very useful for work. Their milk production per lactation is 500 kg to 150 kg. The example of this group is Ongole, Hariana, Kankrej, Deoni, Rathi, Mewathi, Dangi and Nimari.
