Study was carried out to find out the association between physical traits and production characteristics in 25 Surti buffaloes.

None of the other characters studied showed any association with milk yield or fat percent in Surti buffaloes.

Chaudhry, Ahmad Munir
The incidence of twinning in Nili-Ravi buffaloes was observed in 1,340 calvings at the Livestock Experiment Station, Bakadurmagar district, Okara, during a period of 9 1/2 years. The twinning rate was found to be 0.298 % and the incidence of twin birth had no adverse effect on subsequent post-partum productive and reproductive performance. However, twinning in buffalo is undesirable due to reduction in female progeny
