“…Anatolian water buffaloes (AWBs) also hold an important place in Turkish food culture. A portion of the production of buffalo milk is used to meet the nutritional needs of local owners, and the rest is sold to the dairy sector to produce yogurt and kaymag (Degirmencioglu et al, 2015). The milk productivity of AWB is low because of traditional feeding based on pasturing.…”

Abstract. In this study, the effects of a diet including fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seed on feed consumption and milk performance were examined. A total of 24 buffaloes were randomly divided into two groups (12 animals each). The diet containing ground fenugreek seed (GFS) improved total dry matter (13.17-14.00 kg day −1 ) (P < 0.05) and daily concentrated feed consumption (2.90-3.81 kg day −1 ) (P < 0.01) and significantly increased milk production (7.34-8.01 kg day −1 ) (P < 0.01) in Anatolian water buffaloes (AWBs). In future work, the use of other herbs in AWB may be investigated.

“…These results clearly showed that in intensive production systems, buffaloes have higher lactation milk yield and lactation length than in traditional production systems. Degirmencioglu et al (2015) reported that daily milk yield of Anatolian water buffaloes reared in sub-intensive and intensive production systems were 4.42 and 7.34 kg, respectively.…”

The objective of this study was to define the lactation milk yield and milk composition, and the weights at birth, at 180 and 365 days of age in Anatolian buffaloes reared in Bitlis province of Turkey. The animal material of the study consisted of 1448 Anatolian buffaloes having different ages. The lactation milk yield and lactation length were calculated from monthly milking records during the lactation period. The least squares means for lactation milk yield and lactation length in Anatolian buffaloes were 763.99±18.66 kg and 262.63±8.37 days, respectively. Dry matter, protein, fat, lactose, ash contents and pH value of the milk of Anatolian buffaloes were 16.08 ±1.54%, 3.40 ±0.67%, 7.09±1.38%, 4.57%±0.81, 0.67±0.30%, and 6.68±0.40, respectively. The weights at birth, at 180 and 365 days of age were 29.28±0.56, 97.51±1.56 and 142.16±1.50 kg, respectively. As a result, the values found for the lactation characteristics and the body weights of Anatolian buffaloes were low compared to genotypes raised in intensive production systems, but the potential of genetics of buffaloes reared in traditional production systems can be understood providing of adequate environmental conditions and planning of effective selection programs.

“…Although the milk and meat yields of buffaloes are lower than those of cattle, they provide some advantages such as feeding on poor quality roughage and then converting them into yields, producing at a low cost and selling products at a higher price [14]. Buffalo raisers use the buffalo milk firstly to meet their own needs and then give the rest to the dairy union to which they belong and they are used by the small-scale food producers to produce yoghurt and cream [13]. The buffalo milk's containing a higher amount of dry matter and fat compared to those of farm animals is considered to be a superior and distinctive feature of this milk [15].…”

“…Organic production focuses on quality and health rather than quantity [28]. On the other hand, a considerable development can be achieved in milk yields through adequate and regular feeding, lactation period monitoring and quality feed selection in the rations of buffaloes [13].…”

“…However, the low milk yields of the AWBs should not mean that their performances are inadequate. Low milk yields can be increased by selecting quality feeds, feding them adequately and regularly and following their lactation periods [13]. In this review, some information was given about the role and importance of AWB in organic livestock breeding.…”

Abstract-Organic animal production is a form of production which provides humans with healthy and reliable products, is environmentally friendly and increases animal welfare. Nowadays, consumers' increasing income and education levels have increased the demand for organic products. For this reason, animal holdings are turning towards producing animals which can be an alternative in organic livestock production. In recent years, the use of nontransgenic, disease-resistant animals, which are likely to produce healtful products, has risen to prominence. In fact, a lot of harmful changes which may occur in the milk (bacteria and somatic cell counts) can also naturally be prevented in the milk of the Anatolian water buffaloes (AWB) thanks to their feeding based on meadow, their diets' including non-synthetic feed additives, their being resistant to diseases and their milks's including an excess of lactoferrin and their having narrow breast channels. Since the buffalo's meat is rich in protein and poor in fat, its products are becoming more important. In this review, some information was given about the role and importance of AWB in organic livestock breeding.
