This experiment comparatively studied of meat production performance and economics return between swamp buffalo and crossbred brahmans with native cattle (1-2 year of age). The result showed that the average daily gain of buffalo (0.58 kg/day) significantly higher than cattle. Total feed intake average per day of buffalo significantly higher than cattle but total feed intake average per day of body weight for buffalo and cattle were not significant different (P0.05). Feed conversion ratio of buffalo and cattle not significant different (P0.05). Warm carcass percentage, lean percentage, bone percentage and fat percentage of cattle significantly higher than buffalo (P0.01). Total internal organs percentage of final weight of buffalo significantly higher than cattle (P0.05), head percentage and skin percentage of final weight of buffalo significantly higher than cattle (P0.01). Levels of concentrate supplementation were significantly (P0.01) all parameters. The economics return of buffalo less than cattle. Average net income from buffalo received concentrate supplement 1.0 percent BW was highest in group of buffalo (-2202.76 Baht/head) and average net income from cattle received concentrate supplement 1.0 percent BW was highest in group of cattle (395.99 Baht/head).
