India’s US$4 billion buffalo meat export industry relies mainly on the slaughter and processing of females that have stopped lactating. The potential for fattening of male buffalo calves (MBCs) for quality meat production was identified in 1995 in a report of the National Dairy Research Institute (Sharma et al. 1995): “Underfed MBCs after weaning are either starved to death or pushed to the slaughterhouse. Such malnourished calves, weighing 60 to 80 kg, yield only 30 to 35 kg carcasses of inferior quality. These calves, if reared on high energy diets up to a live body weight of 350 kg, may yield 180 kg carcasses of good quality”. The rearing of MBCs could augment meat exports and provide raw material for the domestic leather industry, thereby developing a new avenue for rural employment.
