The present investigation was carried out at Armori Tahsil of Gadchiroli Dist. during the year 2016–17 under sanctioned project by the Ministry of Science and Technology, Department of Biotechnology, New Delhi entitled as “Hope generation in livestock owners of tribal area under two blocks of Gadchiroli district through training and demonstration of scientific livestock management practices” to the Section of Animal Husbandry and Dairy Science, College of Agriculture, Nagpur. Dairy Farming Practices Adopted For Buffaloes Around Armori Tahsil, were evaluated in project implementing areas of Armori Tahsil of Gadchiroli Dist. Five villages namely, Thanegaon, Shivani, Waghada, Deulgaon and Akapur were randomly selected. The data on productive performance and quality of milk was collected by contacting with 200 buffalo owners and chemical quality in terms of fat, SNF and TS percentage in milk of buffaloes were evaluated and analysed statistically to see the productive performance and to know the chemical quality of milk. Average maximum weekly milk yield was recorded in Thanegaon village (59.28±0.69) and minimum in the Akapur village (58.87±0.84) buffaloes supplemented with Bypass fat mineral mixture. Average maximum weekly milk yield performance showing increasing trend with respect to weekly milk yield for a period of eight weeks from 1st to 8th week with peak milk yield was (63.60 lit.). Thereafter declining trend was upto 12th week of lactation. In relation to chemical quality the overall fat, SNF and TS were recorded as 8.44 %, 9.59% and 18.02% respectively. These three components in milk of buffaloes were greatly affected due to supplemented with Bypass fat mineral mixture in different selected villages. The results indicated that the milk production increased all selected village due to supplementation of Bypass fat mineral mixture. The chemical quality of milk of buffaloes in terms of fat, SNF and TS percentage also improved.
