If these animals are crossed with small exotic breeds like Kerry animals of U.K or Jersey, the resultant cross bread animals have proved to be a very good milk yielders compared to their body size and feed requirement. Hence this breed is more suited to be reared by small farmers and Marginal Farmers in the Fodder deficit areas.
	Some of these animals were brought to the East Godavari District to the places like Kakinada, Pithapuram and Amalapuram areas long back by the erst while Jamindari families of the district and there is a considerable population in the Kakinada Town, most of them are seen as stray cattle in the streets Realising the capacity of the Punganoor breed for their easy adoptability and milk yield potential, particularly the crossbreeds of this breeds
Government of India through Indian Council of Agricultural Research has sanctioned a project for their development and preservation of the breed. The project has been entrusted to Dr.E.Krishnamacharyulu, Senior Scientist and Animal Genicist of Andhra Pradesh Agricultural University.
