This research paper aims to investigate the pre-calving care practices implemented by dairy farmers in the rearing of buffalo calves in the Tapi district of South Gujarat. The study focuses on understanding the various pre-calving management techniques employed by farmers to ensure the well-being and reproductive health of the dam, ultimately leading to healthier offspring. A mixed-methods approach was utilized, combining surveys and interviews to gather data from a representative sample of dairy farmers in the region. The study highlights the significance of pre-calving care and its impact on the overall productivity and profitability of buffalo calf rearing. The findings shed light on the common practices, challenges faced, and areas for improvement in pre-calving management within the Tapi district, providing valuable insights for dairy farmers, researchers, and policymakers alike.
