Dairy
Bhadawari
B tier
Bhadawari buffaloes of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh are copper-brown dairy animals celebrated for extremely high butterfat—sometimes topping other Indian breeds on fat percentage even when daily yield is moderate. The milk is exceptionally rich, almost cream-like in full-fat form, and treasured for ghee and luxury sweets. Smaller commercial footprint than Murrah means pure Bhadawari milk is a connoisseur or regional product. Cooks should expect rapid browning in reductions and outstanding mouthfeel in rabri. Conservation herds keep the genetics alive against Murrah upgrading pressure.
