Answer 1

Hint: Amrit mahal is a type of cattle breed that is close to the Hallikars and well known for their well built and strong body. They are mainly used for work in the field which requires strength and endurance.

Complete answer:
Amritmahal is a draught breed originated in Karnataka, India. They are related to the hagalavadi and Chitradurga cattle breeds. These are characterized by their speed and endurance and hence, used for transportation of equipage. They are known as drought breeds for the reason that they can not yield much milk.

Additional Information:
Let us know more about this cattle breed:
-They originated from the erstwhile state of Mysore in Karnataka and from the native breed of cattle named Hallikar.
-They possess an elongated head with a ridge in the middle and a bulging forehead.
-They are poor milk yielders, producing 572kgb milk per lactation. Therefore, they are known as draught breeds.
Draught breeds are mainly indigenous and commonly seen in parts of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. These are mainly used for pulling cart and plowing fields and such type of works that require well built and strong cows. Some examples of draught breeds are Kangayam, Malvi, Hallikar, Amritmahal, etc.

Note: These are mainly three types of castles- draught, dual-purpose, and dairy breed. The draught ones we already discussed in the question. Amrit Mahal is one example of it. The dual-purpose breed, as its name suggests, is used for both milk production and draught works. The female i.e. cows are good milkers and bullocks are strong enough to use in works such as plowing field, transport, and cart pulling. Some examples of this breed are Hariana and Ongole. The dairy breed is the main breed for milk production and has an extended period of lactation with a high yield of milk.
