Abstract: The objective of this study was to determine the body shape of 5 pure Dehong buffalo(D), 5 Dehong×Ni-li buffalo(ND) and 5 Dehong×murrah buffalo(MD) at the age of 35.8±0.4 months on pasture system. Compared with D buffalo, the withers height, hip croop height, hucklebone width of ND buffalo respectively increase 5.5%, 7.4%, 9%, the withers height, hip croop height, hucklebone width of MD buffalo respectively increase 5.9%, 8.0%, 11.9%. The shank length index of MD buffalo was higher than that of D buffalo. This experiment showed that crossbreeding have effect on improved the body shape of pure Dehong buffalo.
