Buffaloes can become aggressive in hot and dry weather, says breeder


TANAH MERAH: The current dry weather in the state has raised concern among buffalo breeders as the animals can become aggressive when waterholes they wallow in dry up.

Cattle breeder Nik Yakob Awang Ahmad, 67, said he had to get water from a nearby river for his two buffaloes as drinking water as well as to wash the buffaloes twice a day to prevent overheating and ensure they remain healthy.
