The domestication of animals was part of a major transformation in the way of life of an increasing number of human societies with deep social and spiritual changes. In the present study, we report about utility of Nilgai and the values of its products and how it can add variety in our diet. Domestication of Nilgai may prove as an outstanding diet (veal and juveniles) for human and domesticated carnivores it may be the most important achievements that man-made in his cultural history. It is very useful and has many kinds of beneficial mutualism with man exists. We also prerequisite to reconnoiter biological functions, importance, and distinctiveness of products viz milk, meat, leather and body parts such as skin, teeth, nail and other product in addition to transportation and export, because of their size and powerful appearance. The meat of Nilgai is said to be lighter and milder flavored than that of blackbuck meat. A domesticated animal such as livestock plays a vital role in diversified farming systems because food and recycling of nutrients through the farm are well proven. Nilgai appears to have different color which occurs during the developmental stage, like a fawn, juveniles and adults. Few Nilgai showed some docility behavior in nature subsequently that sighs of taming towards domestication. Nilgai may prove a higher status than other domestic animals when it comes to success in domestication. The Nilgai dwelling near the human habitation in proximity to a close distance in anthropogenic and share with its habitat and graze food and fodders with domestic herbivore mammals like goat, buffalos’ and cow in the periphery of the village’s areas. The domestication of Nilgai corresponds to a pivotal change in history not only of humanity but also of the biosphere.

In the present nearby investigation was executed to commence the availability, efficacy, economic worth, structure, the functional and ecological significance of Nilgai. Additionally this study gives an idea that how to use the nilgai to coverage on long term human resolve to the conflict. Its monetary economic betterment for human in many ways only requirement to reconnoitre their conventions. Silviculture based cropping system, domestication, agricultural husbandry, nilgai ranches, tourism and recreation help manage the eco-friendly earth’s climate. Nilgai antelope may be beneficial in other ways like its by-products, pedigree of food, industry outcome, taming ranches etc. Blue bull or Nilgai meat and alternative non-cow milk may provide a source of protein for ever-creasing human population. The flesh of Nilgai is highly demanded in national as well as foreign countries. It may be exported after taming, domestication. The domestication of Nilgai corresponds to pivoted changes in history not only of human but also of the biosphere. Nilgai is powerful succeeding economic contender it may prove a driving force in upliftment of socio-economic of farmers & local humans communities and eco-friendly, sustainable development of India.

“…Study area of present research work is Dumraon city of Buxar district of Bihar state, which is harbor of wild mammalian species including Nilgai [15].

Nilgai has some unique ecological function and they may be beneficial in many ways. Killing of Nilgai is not a long - term solution to overcome human- animal conflict. A study was conducted to know the docility pattern and behavior of Nilgai (Boselaphus tragocamelus) in Bihar state, India. Present docility pattern shows that adult females graze with juveniles and dwelling near the human habitation in proximity of in a close distance in anthropogenic environments. It also grazes and share food & fodders with domestic animals like cow, goat, and buffalo in periphery of village areas. Only males possess horns though a few females may be horned as well. Females were less aggressive than males and are of different size and color. Adult males are in blue grey color which reveals sign of territoriality, whereas females color is light in shade which showed evidence of the existence of social hierarchy and increased docility behavior. Females were sitting in group with juveniles in gregarious forms, however, male were found to be scattered. Nilgai migrates in search of food towards cultivated grass, agricultural crops and periphery of the villages areas during dusk and return when less human activity during dawn. Shahabad area Bhojpur, Buxar & Sasaram are characterized by extreme hot and heavy rains. During the unfavorable condition (Rainy and summer season) they: showed seasonal migratory behavior. These behaviors marked in Nilgai may be developing closer social bonds with human being on a way towards domestic relationship. It can be integrated into human society in fevour of co-existence as well as a step towards domestication useful for human in coming future.
