The survey was conducted under watershed area for 200 dairy farmers rearing Marathwadi,
Pandharpuri and Surti buffaloes by personal interviews and judging the udder, teat and milk vein

Medium size fore udder (66.00 per cent) and large size rear udder (56.50 per cent) was recorded maximum in all buffaloes. The cylindrical teat shape (53.50 per cent), wide placement of teat at back (52.50 per cent) and medium size milk veins (61.50 per cent) were mostly recorded in all breeds of bufiloes. In the surveyed area Marathwai buffaloes (54.50 per cent) population was higher as compared to Pimdluirpuri (37.00 per cent) and Surti (8.50 per cent)
