Banni Buffalo

The Banni Buffalo is a special breed of buffalo found mainly in the Banni grasslands of Kutch, Gujarat, India. Known for its distinctive white or pale-colored coat, it thrives in the arid, saline environment of the region. These buffaloes are valued for their high-quality milk, which has a rich, creamy flavor, used for making traditional dairy products like ghee and cheese. Adapted to harsh conditions, Banni Buffaloes play an important role in the local livelihood, supporting pastoral communities with their milk production and resilience in a challenging ecosystem.
