Abstract
A study was carried out to assess the housing management practices of buffaloes in Thiruvallur district of Tamil Nadu. A total of 60 buffalo units were interviewed by oral appraisal and observation. The study revealed that 88.7 per cent of farmers housed buffaloes in pucca shed with 80.19 percent floored with cement concrete, 22.3 per cent of the farmers followed dried Vitex Negundo leaf fumigation once in a week, majority of the sheds possessed aluminium tin roofing. But none of the farmers followed proper manure management. The study suggested that capacity building among the farmers would aid in better management leading to considerable monetary sustenance.
