The buffalo species represents the mainstay of the rural economy of small farmers in many developing countries, and is also an important source of protein. Because of its area of origin, it shows some peculiar characteristics regarding protein requirements and nitrogen balance. Therefore, this review aims at clarifying some aspects of protein digestibility and, consequently, manure management in buffalo cows.
