| 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. |
