The sedentary livestock production system involves rearing of improved breeds of cattle like Jersey and Brown Swiss. In certain parts of eastern Bhutan, the large local migratory herds of cattle have been replaced with a few improved animals. This has been accompanied by planting fodder. These animals are stall fed at night and graze in the fodder paddocks during the day. Such enterprises have yielded a multifold increase in milk production with less demand on time and manpower compared to having a large herd of local cattle.
