Abstract

The present study was undertaken on 180 buffalo owners selected from three districts of Punjab to ascertain their awareness regarding buffalo feeding and healthcare practices. It was observed that majority of the respondents had high level of knowledge regarding importance of colostrums feeding to newly born calves followed by balance feeding and importance of mineral mixture feeding to dairy animals. They had poor knowledge about legume and non-legume fodders, quantity of concentrate mixture for pregnant dry buffalo and hay- silage making. Similarly in case of healthcare practices the respondents had maximum knowledge about symptoms of sick animal (68.33%) and symptoms of mastitis (65.28%) of buffalo. They had low level of knowledge regarding preventive measures to keep buffalo healthy (33.89).
