Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the socioeconomic status of the buffalo farmers and production performance of non-descriptive buffalo in the selected coastal belt of Bangladesh. Randomly selected 150 farmers from three upazilas in the Bhola districts participated in face-to-face interviews. The level of schooling of the farmers was up to primary (65.33%) and secondary (26.00%). Around half of the farmers (45.33%) were aged below 30 years, and among them, 84.00% of the farmers were male. Agriculture (79.33%) was the main occupation of the farmers. Most of the farmers (94.67%) used river/canal water to wallowing of their buffaloes. In this area, 85.33% of buffaloes were fed through grazing. Average milk production was 1.59 l/day/buffalo. The average lactation length was 184.54 day. Total milk production was 269.03 l/lactation period. Farmers did not keep a record of their buffalo (100%). In conclusion, better husbandry practices are essential for improving the performance of non-descriptive buffaloes in the coastal belt of Bangladesh.
