Abstract:
Microclimate has profound effects on performance in animals, do so for buffalo. Besides macroclimate as a predecidng factor in livestock productivity, close ambience of animal dwelling plays further critical role in their performance indices. Effect of microclimate on alterations on growth, feed and water intake, physiological and behavioral parameters of various species of livestock have been well documented. This review paper specifically aims to gather the research findings of microclimatic effect on the growth and behaviour performance of buffalo in a presentable way and draws conclusions for enhanced productivity.
