Well looked-after, well-bred, well-fed buffalos can be prized possessions in India. Not only do buffaloes give more milk with a higher fact content than cows do, but they are also used for meat when they grow old. So a young buffalo yields milk while it goes out packaged as meat, sold around the world as beef, by the many meat exporters and packagers of Uttar Pradesh and other central Indian hubs. Buffalo is a triple purpose animal, being suitable for milk, meat and draught. Buffalo can efficiently utilize the roughages and crop by-products into high quality milk suitable for a wide range of dairy products including butter, milk-powder, Mozzarella cheese, khoya, curd, yoghurt, shrikhand, dried ice cream mix, dairy whitener etc. Buffaloes in India are spread over almost all parts of the country with varying population density, majority (72%) being concentrated in the north and western states where most of the milch breeds of buffaloes are found viz. in Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra. During the last 10 years there has been continuous growth of this species in this region at the rate of about 2.1% per annum as against the average growth rate of approximately 1.0 % in the country (Figure 1). Data show highest buffalo population growth in Uttar Pradesh followed by Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan. However, per cent growth in buffalo population was recorded highest in Haryana followed by Gujarat and Rajasthan. The states which possess large population of non-descript buffaloes and have shown higher growth rate during the period are Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Jammu & Kashmir whereas the states which have large buffalo population and a negative growth rate are Tamil Nadu (2814 to 1658), Karnataka (4251 to 3991), Orissa (1539 to 1394), West Bengal (1010 to 1086 thousands), Chhatisgarh and Assam.
