The domesticated buffalo

) in Malaysia is represented
mostly by the swamp type. The total population of the animal is less than
130,000 heads with 59% in Peninsular Malaysia, 35% in Sabah and 6% in
Sarawak. Rear

, both

The
availability of grasses, legumes, shrubs and tree fodders under the plantation
environment offer tremendous opport
