Assess body weight estimation, reproductive and nutrition of buffaloes at Ba kelalan

The buffaloes have contributed greatly in many aspects of socio-economic livelihood of rural farmers in the country. For example, they provide meat, milk, labour for the wet paddy farmers by ploughing the fields, and weeding the fields by eating out the grasses and paddy stalks after harvesting....
