About Manda buffalo

Manda buffaloes are native to Odisha and have ash grey and grey coat colour with copper colour hairs. The lower part of their legs up to the elbow is light-coloured with copper-colour hair at the knee. Some animals are silver-white in colour. These sturdy buffaloes are small-sized. They are found in the Eastern Ghats and plateau of the Koraput region of Odisha. The Manda are resistant to parasitic infections, less prone to diseases and can live, produce and reproduce at low or nil input systems. Manda buffaloes mature at around 3 years and drop the first calf at around 4 years. Every 1.5 to 2 years they give birth to a calf for the whole life of around 20 years.
