Abstract:	The study on Gaddi buffalo (Bos bubalis) including phenotypic and genetic aspects was implemented in the far-western region of Dedeldhura and Baitadi districts in order to get adequate records for conclusive results. More emphasis was given on the Karyotyping work of Gaddi buffalo. There are mainly three native buffalo breeds, they are Lime, Parkote and Gaddi that have been identified. The Gaddi buffaloes are heavier in size j}-om Lime and Parkote. The average body length, heart girth, barrel girth, height at wither and height at hip bone ofGaddi buffaloes of far· western region of the country are 141.0±1.61, 195.0±1.80, 231.0±2.51, 131.0±1.10 and 123.0±1.07 em, respectively. The average body length, height at wither, height at hip bone, height at barrel and heart girth of Gaddi buffalo of far western region of the counhy are 118.9±1.61, 129.4±2.08, 119.6±0.933, 48.9±0.604 and 194.9±1.64 em, respectively. The results of K01yotyping revealed that Gaddi buffaloes were riverine consisting of 50 (2n =50) chromosome. The average daily milk yield was 2.9 litters. The overall age at first calving, gestation length and calving interval was found to be 55.5±1.3 months, 311.8±0.4 days and 644.8±14.6 days, respectively. it was observed and experienced that number of Gaddi buffaloes are decreasing due to indiscriminate breeding practices (they are being crossed with Murrah) and if the process continues Gaddi buffalo will be extinct in near future. It is therefore essential to promote and conserve the breed for their better and sustainable production.
