Description A study was carried out to find out the housing management practices of buffaloes in Yanam region, Union Territory (UT) of Puducherry. A total of 150 respondents were selected at random for the study. The study revealed that 88.0 per cent of the farmers housed their buffaloes in kutcha type sheds with thatched roof (74.8%) and mud flooring (89.4%). Manger was provided by (85.3%) of the respondents. Majority of the buffalo farmers were heaping dung on the land and later used as farm yard manure.
