Murrah buffalo is one of the finest dairy buffalo breed in India. The success of any dairy farm depends upon efficient productive and reproductive performances of a dairy animal. Different genetic and non-genetic factors influence its performance potential. All the productive and reproductive traits of murrah buffalo under the present study will serve as standard and hence can be used as a reference or standard at a glance to compare the performances of Murrah Buffalo reared under different agro-climatic zones of India. Therefore, performance traits like 305- days, peak milk yield, lactation length, average daily milk yield, dry period, birth weight, calf mortality rate, age at first calving, service period, calving interval, number of services per conception and conception rate of Murrah buffalo are reviewed here.
