  1. RAISING CATTLE AND BUFFALO IN HERDS (ECONOMIC VALUE AND REPRODUCTION) A.Mamdouh Osman Assiut University

  2. Introduction

  3. Introduction • Value of Herd Breeding : Milk Dual Meat • Disadvantage of Individual Breeding • (Poor Breeding)

  4. Introduction Small Herd (Not less than 20 lactating cows) Size of Herd MediumHerd ( 50 Lactating cows) Large Herd ( More than 100 lactating cows) Huge Herd ( Thousands)

  5. The largest single unit herd in the world included 35,000 Buffalo in Landhi – India • In Egypt, most farmers ( 90%) raised from 2-10 Head in a poor condition. • DISTRIBUTION OF CATTLE IN THE WORLD • World Cattle Population 1.4 Billion Head • Asia 32 % • South America 20 % • Africa 15 % • North America 14 % • Europa 10 % • Neozealand, Australia and Others 9 % • FAO Report (1998)

  6. Recommended requirement of Animal Protiento Human. NewZealand 103 g/Day Argentina 93 “ USA 71 “ Germany 64 “ Japan 51 “ Brazil 23 “ Egypt 17 “ China 8 “ India 6 “ Bengaladish 5 “ Standard Requirement Not less than 35 g/Day FAO Report (1993)

  7. CHANGES IN WORLD POPULATION DURING 30 YEARS Man 70% Cattle 52% Buffalo 48% Pigs 181% Equine - 10%

  8. Animals In the World • FAO Report (1999) Cattle 1336 (Million) Buffalo 165 Pigs 902 Sheep 1059 World Human Population 5.9 Billion with a growing rate of 1.33% • Population in Egypt 67 Million • with a growing rate of 2.1%

  10. Role of Reproduction and Veterinarian in Animal Improvements • Reproduction is the basic foundation for any successful breeding in the farm • Gynecological care improved reproductive efficiency of any herd through • Reduced calving interval (Record System) • Improved milk and meat production by selection and proper scientific handling.

  11. SCIENTIFIC ASSOCIATIONS RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPROVING LIVESTOCK IN THE WORLD • Cattle : Very large numbers ,may be more than 1000 Associations • Buffalo : Very few and as follow : • Brazelian Buffalo Breeding Association (1961) • International Buffalo Information Center (1981) Thailand • Argentina Buffalo Breeding Association (1983) • International Buffalo Federation (1985) World Buffalo Congress • American Buffalo Breedrs Federation (1987) • (South Ameica) • Egypt Buffalo Consultation Group (2002) • Egypt Prof. MSS.
