Milk Production of buffalo.
China is home to 22.76 million buffalo – not Bison like we have in America – that collectively produce 2.65 million tons of milk annually, according to experts attending the Asian Buffalo Congress in China. Proponents of the buffalo milk contend that it contains more fat and protein than typical bovine fluid, thereby providing an ideal raw material for cheese production.
Comparison of cow and buffalo milk production
production
In China, buffalo dairy farming began about 60 years ago, and there are 23 million buffalo at present. Buffalo cheese is popular in several cities, including Guangzhou. Cheese from swamp buffalo is dearer than that from river buffalo because of its richer quality. Swamp buffalo yield less milk, but it is richer than the milk from river buffalo.
technology
To develop technologies and open markets for buffalo dairy farming, she and two foreign experts started the International Buffalo Federation in 1985. With over 1,000 members, including breeders, experts, researchers, business people, dairy and breeding industries, and freighters from four continents, they meet every three years.
Milking with machines
In order to obtain all the advantages with machine milking the correct technique must be used. Both milkers and buffalo must be familiar with the machines. If the buffalo are scared or feel uncomfortable they will withhold their milk and thereby yield less. This in turn will lead to economic loss for the farmer and eventually he will lose his faith in machine milking.
