Best Feed for Buffalo Milk Production
Updated 26 Aug 2026 • By Falah Nutrition Desk, Animal Nutrition Advisor
Buffaloes are not just big cows - their digestion, metabolism and milk are different. Buffalo milk is prized for its high fat (6-8% or more), and protecting that fat percentage requires buffalo-specific feeding. Generic cattle feed often costs buffalo farmers milk fat without them realising it.
आम लक्षण
- Buffalo milk fat percentage dropping at collection center
- Milk yield declining mid-lactation
- Buffalo eating well but producing below potential
- Poor body condition in lactating buffalo
संभावित कारण
- Feeding low-fiber feeds designed for cows - buffalo milk fat depends heavily on fiber (NDF) digestion
- Insufficient feed quantity for production level
- Heat stress - buffaloes suffer badly in hot weather
- Mineral deficiencies
किसान को क्या जाँचना चाहिए
- Daily milk yield and fat percentage records
- Is the feed buffalo-specific or generic?
- Is enough dry/green fodder fiber available alongside compound feed?
- Does the buffalo have water/shade access in summer for cooling?

Use buffalo-special feeds: Goka Buff 5000 for buffaloes producing 10-15 liters/day - its high NDF content keeps milk fat rich through the full 9-10 month lactation. For premium buffaloes above 15 liters/day, Goka Buff Power Pack provides the bypass fats and minerals heavy production demands. Quantity rule remains 1 kg per 2.5 liters plus 1 kg maintenance, split twice daily. Maintain good fiber fodder alongside - fiber digestion is the engine of buffalo milk fat.
