Buffalo milk carries substantially more fat than cow milk, and producing it costs the animal considerably more energy. Feeding a buffalo a standard cattle ration is one of the most common and most expensive mistakes on an Indian dairy farm — the animal simply cannot eat enough volume to cover the deficit. Buffalo Special Feed raises crude protein to 25% and pairs it with rumen-protected fat, delivering concentrated energy without depressing fibre digestion or risking acidosis. The result is an animal that holds its condition through peak lactation instead of milking off its own back.
