INTRODUCTION

India possesses best breed ofmilch buffaloes in the world. Buffalogenetic resources in India arerepresented by 10 well defined breedsof buffalo, apart from non- descripttype which constitutes around 60 percent buffaloes. Though the Nagpuri

breed is common in Vidarbha regionbut now days Murrah buffaloes arekept by most of the buffalo owners for

milk production.

The Murrah breed is well adopted

to their native tract but it appears thatno proper attention has been given tostudy the Murrah buffaloes on scientificbase in Vidarbha region. Identifying theimportance of this breed in other thanhome tract present study was carriedout to know the productive and

reproductive traits of Murrah buffaloesin Nagpur tahsil with followingobjectives.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Source of dataThe data used for present investigation

was collected from Nagpur tahsil of Nagpuridistrict (Fig.1) of Maharashtra state. 10 villagesin Nagpur tahsil was selected by nth number ofrandom sampling method. Collection of data

The data was collected by directobservation on 200 adult Murrah buffaloesbelonging to different age groups from 10selected villages in Nagpur tahsil. The data was

categorized in the following age groups.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

The averages of productive traits in Murrahbuffaloes showed significant results in Nagpurtahsil when compared with the other breeds of

buffaloes.

The overall averages of daily milk yield, peak milkyield and lactation milk yield observed as 7.33

0.19, 12.11 0.27 and 2134.39 52.97 kg washigher and lactation length and dry periodobserved as 291.83 2.60 and 158.61 2.70days respectively was moderate when compared

with other Indian buffalo breeds.
