    Buffaloes are mostly found in canal areas of Pakistan and require access to water. The Nilli-Ravi breed is known for high milk production. Buffaloes provide 70% of Pakistan's milk and have high-fat milk, but their potential is not fully exploited due to mismanagement and inefficient systems.

    BUFFALOES

    MUHAMMAD YOUSUF MEMON


     Buffaloes are found mostly in canal fed areas of Pakistan, especially the
    doab between Ravi and Sutlej.
     Nilli-Ravi breed is found in Punjab, which is known for its high milk
    production.
     In Sindh, Kundi breed is found along both banks of Indus but mostly in
    Northern and central Sindh.
     Other breeds are found in areas of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa
     Presence of water is very important as this animal needs to cool itself by
    smearing mud on its body.
     Water is also used for drinking and for cleaning the farm etc.
     A lot of fodder is also required (which becomes expensive to buy in non-
    agricultural areas) and thus buffaloes are not found in Balochistan as this
    would be too uneconomical.
     There are less urban areas there and thus les demand for beef.
     Buffaloes are considered to be black gold of Pakistan because the milk they
    produce has a higher fat content than that of cows and goats etc.
     At present, buffaloes provide almost 70% of the milk produced in Pakistan.
     Also, their meat is white and desirable due to the low cholesterol level as
    compared to cow’s meat
     However, it must be noted that still there is ample room for improvement.
     Pakistan is the 2nd largest buffalo milk producer in the world after India.
     Also, Pakistan has one of the best breeds for producing milk (like Nilli and
    Ravi) but due to mismanagement, inefficient marketing system, old livestock
    technique, exposure to heat, shortage of fodder and late age of maturity
    mean that this potential is yet to be exploited

     Important cattle breeds are Red Sindhi and Sahiwali, which are
    internationally recognized for their milk production.
     Another important Breeds are bhagnari (Imp for draft power found in
    Punjab and sindh), Dhani (Imp for draft power found in N.Areas)
     Cattle are spread in Northern, central and Southern Punjab.
     In Sindh mainly in areas of Tharparkar desert.
     In Balochistan they are found in district of Hab and in Northcentral parts of
    Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa
     The yield of dairy animals in Pakistan is around 1/5 to 1/7 as to what yields
    are achieved in Europe and United States of America.
     If our yields can be improved this can save us from import of milk and
    related products, which costs around 20 million dollars annually.
