The maximum percentage of fat in the milk of ‘Bhadawari’ buffalo is:

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) 8.0%

Explanation:

• The average fat content in Bhadavari buffalo milk is generally around 8.0%.
• However, it is famous for its wide range, and fat content can sometimes reach up to 13.0% in specific individuals.
• In most agricultural competitive exams, 8% is used as the standard benchmark for this breed's average.
• This high fat content makes the breed extremely desirable for ghee production.
• The milk is thicker and richer compared to most other cattle or buffalo breeds.

• Buffalo milk generally contains higher fat and solids-not-fat (SNF) than cow milk.
• The Murrah buffalo usually has a fat content of about 7.0%.

• While this is the *maximum possible* recorded in individual cases, it is not the typical maximum for a herd's average.
