Buffalo breeding is gaining popularity in Mexico for its sustainable practices and the nutritional benefits of its meat and milk. The meat has less fat and cholesterol, and the milk has a higher energy value and is used to produce cheese more efficiently compared to cattle. The breeding is also economically accessible and sustainable due to the animals' adaptability to various climate and soil conditions. The species, which was introduced in Mexico in 1991, has a gestation period of 281 to 334 days and can weigh over 500 kilograms at maturity. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (Sader) is supporting the industry's growth, and the animals are rotated periodically to reduce environmental impact. The meat must be slaughtered in Federal Inspection Type slaughterhouses for traceability.
