The indigenous buffaloes of Assam are basically Swamp type. No study has so far been made to ascertain the number of chromosomes in these buffaloes. The crossbreds of Riverine buffaloes where chromosome number is 2n=50 adn swamp (2n=48) buffaloes reported to have exhibited reporductive disturbances which are more pronounced in males. As the hybrid females reported to be less affected in their fertility, hybridization can be carried out be carefully designing the breeding programme and exploiting the males for draught or meat purpose. A study was made for karyotyping of chromosomes of Swamp buffaloes of Assam to ascertain their chromosomes numbers for its possible implication in formulating the buffalo breeding policy.
