Correct option is C
The correct answer is: (C) 5.5 – 7.2
Explanation:
The Surti buffalo, native to Gujarat, is known for moderate milk yield with relatively high fat content in its milk.
The fat percentage in Surti buffalo milk typically ranges from 5.5% to 7.2%, which makes the milk rich and suitable for producing dairy products like ghee and butter.
Information Booster:
- Surti buffaloes are medium-sized animals, primarily found in Anand, Kaira, and Baroda districts of Gujarat.
Their milk production averages 1500–1600 liters per lactation with good milk fat content, which contributes to high-quality dairy output.
Knowledge Booster :
(4.2 – 4.5%): This fat range is typical for cow milk.
(4.7 – 5.0%): This fat percentage is relatively low for any buffalo breed and more aligned with crossbred cows.
(7.0 – 8.0%): This range is too high for Surti buffalo; such high fat content is seen in breeds like Banni or Jaffarabadi under certain feeding conditions.
