Approach on Milk yield of Buffalo Herds

Journal Title: Concepts of Dairy & Veterinary Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 5

Abstract

Buffalo herds are an important part of the agricultural economy but, unfortunately, this production chain is still not valued as such in some countries, presenting yields lower than expected. This review of the literature aims at discussing the importance of buffalo herds for the milk production in several countries and the need for increasing the production yields of this species. Buffaloes are even more important for the economies of developing countries, where the economic activity is based primarily on agriculture as in some Asian countries. Although all buffalo parts can be commercially explored, buffalo milk derivatives are the most profitable. Therefore, maximizing the yields of both meat and milk is highly desirable. Buffalo breeding is a highly important economic activity where it is practiced since buffalo farms employ rural labor, decreasing rural exodus and increasing the exploration of areas previously considered unsuitable for agricultural production Bernardes [1] Buffaloes are increasingly raised for the meat and hides since the meat has high protein content Andrighetto [2], Bernardes [1]; Nanda; Nakao, [3] and fatty acids of lower atherogenicity Bernardes [1]. In addition, leather, horns, and horsehair are used by the industry and in handicraft work Nanda and Nakao, [3]. Also, buffalo milk has excellent organoleptic quality and its high added-value makes dairy production highly profitable Nanda, Nakao [3]; Bernardes, [1]; Andrighetto, [2]; Borghese [4]. Finally, buffaloes are used as animal traction for works in the field Nanda, Nakao [3] while dry buffalo manure can be used to generate energy Ferreira [5]. This literature review aims at discussing the importance of buffalo breeding in several countries and the need for productivity increase of this species.
