槟榔江水牛是近年在我国发现的河流型水牛类群,主要分布于云南省腾冲县。该牛产奶量高,可以向奶用方向继续选育,是我国发展奶水牛业的宝贵遗传资源。为了更好地对其进行选育利用,本文对该水牛的品种形成历史及发展、产地分布及数量、生产性能和遗传基础等方面进行了深入调查和研究,以进一步揭示其种质特征。
Binglangjiang water buffalo, which is a river-type buffalo breed discovered in China recent years, mainly distributes in Tengchong County of Yunnan Province. Due to its high daily milk yield, Binglangjiang water buffalo can be selected and used as dairy buffalo. It is an important genetic resource in the south of China to develop dairy buffalo husbandry. In order to better utilize and improve Binglangjiang buffalo, it is necessary to have background information on its population characteristics and history. In this paper, we investigated the history of formation, distribution and size about its population and also carried out some studies on its genetic background and product performance.
