Farm trial was undertaken at farmer’s field to assess the effectiveness of bypass fat on overall performance of milch buffalo during 2022-23. Twenty lactating Murrah buffaloes reared under farmer’s field were selected and distributed equally in two groups of ten buffaloes in each group, i.e. T1 (control) and T2 (supplementation bypass fat @ 100g/day/ buffalo beside the farmer practices). The results of study revealed supplementation of bypass fat had significantly increased the production parameters in milch buffalo. The mean milk production during supplementation period was found to be 10.19 ±0.36 and 11.29±0.34 l/day in group T1 and T2, respectively; which was 10.78 percent higher in group T2 than the control. The average length of the postpartum estrus cycle (67.70±6.20 days) and service period (91.43±8.33days) was significantly (P<0.05) reduced in supplemented group than control (86.40±11.57days and 131.00±12.33days, respectively) at farmer’s field. AI per conception was also observed to be significantly (P<0.05) higher in non- supplemented group than the supplemented group. The number of AI per conceptions in supplemented group and control group was recorded 1.57±0.40 and 2.71 ±0.44, respectively. It can be deduced from the findings that incorporating bypass fat into the diet had a significant (P<0.05) positive impact on both milk yield and postpartum reproductive performance in milch buffalo when implemented at a farmer's field.
