Underdeveloped Genitalia in Buffaloes

Underdeveloped genitalia in buffaloes is a condition in which the reproductive organs (either male or female) do not attain the expected size or function during puberty or adulthood. This leads to infertility, delayed puberty or reproductive failure. Both the male and female buffaloes are affected; however, the condition is more commonly reported in females which in turn leads to poor reproductive performance. In the tropical regions, the condition is influenced by the factors such as nutrition, genetics, environmental stresses and disease prevalence.
