A survey was conducted to estimate the productive and reproductive performances of RCC in Rawjan, Chandanaish, Potia, Satkania and Anowara upazillas of Chittagong, Bangladesh. The farmers of the study areas holding Red Chittagong Cattle (RCC) were divided into large (>1.50 acre), medium (>1.0-1.5 acre), marginal (>0.5-1.0 acre) and landless (>0-0.5 acre) categories. Existing feeding and rearing practices, productive and reproductive performances of RCC were investigated. It was found that, most of the RCCs (82%) were reared mainly by the marginal farmers. In between May to September, there was a severe shortage of feeds and fodders for RCC. However, despite severe shortage, the farmers were not interested to cultivate fodder. The degree of shortage for feed round the year had significant variation (p<0.01) among the farmers of all categories. Similar to feed shortage, the tendency of growing non-legume crops had marked variation (P<0.01) among the farmers of all categories. Birth weight, weaning weight, daily milk yield, lactation length, calving interval, age at first service, age at first calving and gestation length were 14.5 kg, 64.6 kg, 2.1 liters, 216 days, 14 months, 2.7 years, 42 months and 279.9 days respectively. It could therefore be inferred that, productivity of RCC may be increased by improving feeding systems in the study areas.

 To address  the factors associated with production systems of RCC and the dynamics of their feed availability

The RCCs are concentrated mainly in seven southeastern districts of Bangladesh (Hossain 2005). These areas are located in the boarder Chittagong and Chittagong Hill Tract areas and in boarder of Noakhali areas (Noakhali, Feni, Laksmipur). Therefore, the study area was selected as Rawjan, Chandanaish, Potia, Satkania and Anowara upazillas of Chittagong district on the basis of RCC density.Data were collected through door to door visit by personal interview from randomly selected individual dairy farmers. A brief introduction regarding the nature and purpose of the study was explained to the farmers before actual interview. Questions were asked systematically and explanation was given wherever necessary.Farmers usually did not keep any records of their day to day transactions of farm activities. It was, therefore, difficult to collect actual data and the researcher had to rely on the memory of the farmers. To overcome this problem, of course, all possible efforts were made by the researchers themselves to ensure the collection of reasonably accurate data on recall basis. A pretested questionnaire was prepared on the basis of research methodology and objectives with the help of the livestock officials of the study areas and the data were collected from January 2008 to January 2009.

Most of the RCCs are reared by the marginal category of the farmers. The existing feeding and rearing practices of RCC were very fragile.The shortage of feeds and fodder for RCC during the period from May to September was severe. At that period they usually offered tree leaves to their cattle. It could therefore be recommended that the persistency of production and length of lactation of RCC may be improved through nutritional management and interventions at the said critical time of year and production cycle.
