Indian cow may extinct if slaughter is permanently prohibited.

The slaughtering of cows has been prohibited in India which means cows will only die from natural causes. This situation is something new.

How will it affect the cow population? Will the number rise or fall? Experts are divided in opinion. I am convinced that the cattle inventory will fall and cows will live in another way

How many cattle are there in India:

The total number of cattle is 191 million as per 2012 livestock census. The Indian livestock department estimates that the number in 2017 has been decreased to 167 million.

However, the estimated number provided by Worlds cattle inventory are quite different. According to his organization, the number of cattle inventory of India is 303 million. Here is the chart:

On 26 May 2017, the Ministry of Environment of Indian Central Government has imposed a ban on slaughtering of cattle for sale and purchase in India. There has been such a ban in the most of states of India long before the central ban

As there is no accurate data for the number of cattle, the Government has planned to identity cards with 12 digit unique numbers to 88 million cows. The government has the plan to cover total population cattle with this identity card scheme.
