Symposium Theme
Livestock has been an integral component of
traditional agriculture and buffalo played a
pivotal role in overall social development in
India. The majority of small and marginal
farmers are more dependent on buffaloes than
the cattle for their livelihood. Besides
generating employment in rural areas it
provides quality food.
Interestingly buffalo milk accounts for largest
share of total milk produced in the country.
Buffalo milk contains more fat and protein
contents than cow milk and can be preserved
for longer period. Besides this it can utilise the
roughages and crop by-products efficiently.
Gujarat possesses many prominent buffalo
breeds developed traditionally adapted to
climatic conditions. Similarly many breeds are
developed in other parts of the country. The
conference will explore better use of these
buffalo genetic resources for enhancing rural
livelihood in generating employment,
particularly for women in rural areas.
