Abstract:	The study was carried out at three different sites of the research command areas of Agriculture Research Station, Lumle. The result of concentrate supplementation on rice straw, wheat straw and maize stover based diet revealed that milk yield of lactating buffaloes increased by 36.0%, 63.5% and 27.4%, respectively as compared to control group during the supplementation period. The increment in the yield of the treatment (supplemented) groups were 61.6%, 57.6% and 21% compared to the yield of same groups before supplementation on rice, wheat and maize stover based diet, respectively. In addition, milk fat percent increased from 5.9 to 7.5, 5.7 to 7.8 and 5.8 to 6.0 on concentrate supplementation in rice straw, wheat straw and maize stover based diets, respectively. The chemical analysis of these crop residues showed that the highest N content was found in maize stover followed by rice straw and wheat straw.
