Non-Murrah Group Buffalo Breed
Which of the following buffalo does NOT fall under the category of Murrah group?
- Nili Ravi
- Mehsana — Correct Answer
- Godavari
- Kundi
Explanation:
Correct Answer: Mehsana
Mehsana does NOT belong to the Murrah group — it belongs to the Gujarat group of buffalo breeds (Table 12). Mehsana is a mixture of Murrah and Surti blood but is classified under the Gujarat group.
Buffalo Breed Groups (Table 12)
- Murrah group: Murrah, Nili Ravi, Kundi

- UP group: Bhadawari, Tarai

Why Other Options Are Wrong
- Nili Ravi: IS part of the Murrah group.
- Godavari: Belongs to Central India group (not Murrah group), but the question asks which is NOT Murrah group among the options — Mehsana is the answer per answer key.
- Kundi: IS part of the Murrah group.
