Abstract：Swamp-type buffaloes, the dominant buffalo species in China, have a high dietary adaptability and good disease
resistance, are easy to raise, and hold promising potential for meat and dairy production although growing slowly. In the country,
buffaloes are always used for traditional plough farming, which, however, have been gradually switched to dairy and meat
production in recent years. This paper analyzes the current status of China’s buffalo industry with respect to inventory, breeding
economics, regional distribution of various breeds, slaughter performance as well as genetic breeding and meat quality. Some
existing problems are pointed out and corresponding suggestions and countermeasures are put forward.
