Abstract:

Murrah buffalo is one of the best dairy buffalo breeds in India. The success of any dairy farm depends upon efficient productive and reproductive performances of its dairy animals. Various factors like genetic and non-genetic factors influence its performance potential of Murrah buffalo. Performance traits like 305 days milk yield, peak milk yield, lactation length, dry period, birth weight of calf, calf mortality rate, age at first calving, service period, calving interval, number of services per conception and conception rate of Murrah buffalo under the present study were reported as 1370±51.40 kg, 8±1.15 kg, 315±6.5 days, 180±16.5 days, 38±0.55 kg, 7-10%, 52±1.20 months, 150±15.5 days, 480±20 days, 1.4±0.50 and 80%, respectively. All the productive and reproductive traits of Murrah buffalo under the present study will serve as standard and hence can be used as a reference at a glance for Murrah buffalo farming in Assam.
