This staggering amount surpasses the combined price of two Rolls-Royce cars or ten high-end Mercedes-Benz vehicles, establishing Anmol as a unique symbol of luxury and prestige within the agricultural sector.

Anmol’s value extends beyond its impressive physique, as its semen is highly sought after for breeding, significantly enhancing its worth.

Anmol’s daily diet, costing approximately Rs 1,500, is a blend of dry fruits and high-calorie foods aimed at maintaining his superior health. His meals include 250 grams of almonds, 4 kg of pomegranates, 30 bananas, 5 kg of milk, and 20 protein-rich eggs. Additionally, his diet is enriched with oil cake, green fodder, desi ghee, soybeans, and corn, ensuring a balanced intake that supports his exceptional physique and vitality.

Despite the significant upkeep expenses, including Anmol’s specialized diet and grooming, owner Gill remains steadfast in his decision not to sell him. However, the high costs forced Gill to sell Anmol’s mother and sister. Notably, Anmol’s mother was an exceptional buffalo herself, with a record milk production of 25 liters per day.

High demand for Anmol's semen:

 

Anmol's semen serves as a profitable income stream for his owner, with collections occurring twice a week. Each sample is priced at Rs 250 and can be used to breed between 300 to 900 cattle. This enterprise generates a substantial monthly income of Rs 4-5 lakh, helping Gill manage the considerable expenses of Anmol's lavish care. Despite receiving offers up to Rs 23 crore, Gill, who views Anmol as more than just livestock, akin to a brother, has no intention of selling his prized buffalo.
