Abstract
Buffaloes are the main milk producing unit, rearing somewhere in
villages of India and back bone of Indian milk Industries.
Buffalo require some peculiar management. They should be managed
age group wise, so that the estrus buffaloes can easily be
identified. It is proved that majority of buffaloes show peak
sexual activity during late evening or in early morning. So
deploying extra labour or providing the incentives to
supervisors/ animal attendants should be done to identify
majority of estrus buffaloes. Some of the peculiar
characteristics of estrus aids of its diagnosis and reproductive
physiology and related problems are highlighted and discussed in
this paper.
