Buffalo grazing provides significant ecological and agricultural benefits by improving soil health, boosting plant diversity, and managing landscapes
The CIRB animal farm has a well organised herd, maintained on best husbandry practices.
Buffaloes, in the northwest region of India have long been selected for high milk production and curled horns.
The home tract of Nili-Ravi buffaloes range in the belt between the Sutluj and Ravi rivers of the undivided Punjab Province.
Jafarabadi buffaloes are good milkers and thrive well on natural grazing. These buffaloes characteristically differ from other breeds mainly in terms of kilo fat.
The home tract of Surti buffaloes is in the South western part of Gujarat. Best animals are found in Anand, Nadiad, Kaira and Baroda district.
Purebred animals prevalent in Bhuj, Nakhatrana, Anjar, Bhaahau, Lakhpat, Rapar and Khavda talukas, are heavily size with typical double and vertical coiling of the horn.
Bhadawari buffaloes are recognized for high fat content in their milk, which goes as high as 14 %.
