The present study was designed to see quality of raw buffalo milk in four districts of Chhattisgarh and the effect of different location, stage of lactation and parity on milk components of buffaloes. Total 112 milk samples were collected, comprised of four different districts and from lactation stage (early, mid and late) and from varying parity of (1, 2, 3 and 4 above) for the study. Overall milk fat, solid not fat (SNF), protein, lactose, density, freezing point and ash were observed to be 6.50±0.05, 8.88±0.03, 3.71±0.03, 4.90±0.06,1.030±0.002, -0.534±0.002and 0.81±0.004%, respectively. Durg districts reported highest for milk at and SNF than other districts. Mean fat content was in FSSAI prescribed level but SNF content is recorded below FSSAI level. Stage of lactation had also significant effect on milk components; milk fat and protein percent increased significantly with the advancement of lactation stage significantly (P<0.05). Milk fat during early, mid and late lactation was 6.31±0.09, 6.55±0.07and 6.61±0.09%; protein was 3.61±0.05, 3.65±0.05 and 3.83±0.06% respectively (P<0.05).Milk fat and protein levels were more in advance parities indicating significant effect of parity on milk composition. Data on levels of milk constituents varying over the lactation stages, parities and correlation between milk constituents in buffaloes were important phenotype indices for developing genomic selection programme in buffaloes.
