Abstract
This article exposes the principles and foundations of
the production and genetic parameters of the characteristics
related to the growth of the buffalo species. At
the same time, we describe works made all over the
world concerning the characteristics of economic importance
and the mathematic functions applied to animal
growth. The studies consulted on the matter suggest that improvement programs can be implemented
for better genetics in buffaloes, due to the wide genetic
variation under which several populations of buffaloes
have been classified. In Colombia there are not many
studies made in order to estimate the production and
genetic parameters of buffaloes. However, some recent
suggest that this species have a great potential
for its exploitation under the local conditions.
