Extract

Buffaloes have important role in Khuzestan agricultural economy in Iran. They are adapted to harsh environmental conditions in the area. They are well resistant against ticks and disease and used to eat low quality feeds. In order to establish a breeding plan, estimation of genetic parameters is necessary. The objective of this study was to explore production and genetic capacity of Khuzestan’ buffalos.
