Oct 26, Kathmandu- Experts in Nepal have succeeded in providing non-seasonal breeding of buffaloes reared for milk and meat. Chief researcher of Prada Bhuminandan Devkota said that the research conducted by the University of Agriculture and Forestry for a long time on non-seasonal breeding of buffaloes has been successful.

Prof. Dr Devkota, a buffalo expert who is also the chairman of the organizing committee of the Asia Buffalo Conference in Chitwan, said, “We have succeeded in breeding off-season buffaloes. In the last five years, research has been done on 200 buffaloes in different parts of Nepal and we have succeeded in breeding 94 buffaloes out of season. That's 47% of the total fertility."

The main breeding season for buffalo, which is considered as cash livestock, is from July to December. At this time, buffalo breeding season is considered as it is easy to play in the rainy season with green grass and nutritious food. Built buffaloes breed in 10 months. The dry season from February to April is considered unseasonable for buffalo breeding.
