Description
INTRODUCTION The socio-culture of Isan people in the past had water buffaloes as a greatly important part of agriculture. It has been said that water buffaloes are national animals. Humans and water buffaloes had close tie to one another as life partners, particularly in the area of 8 Changwat of Isan where water buffaloes were generally used for ploughing rice fields. They were these 8 Changwat Naknon Phanom, Sakon Nakhon, Nong Bua Lam Phu, Udon Thani, Khon Kaen, Ubon Ratehathani, Kalasin and Roi Et. The use of water buffalo manure as fertilizer on the rice farm plots could make the soils rich. Water buffaloes were risk insurance, decreased poverty problems, were assets or home banks, could help create the natural balance and community ecological system. The use of water buffaloes with the lack of indigenous knowledge could rapidly decrease the number of water buffaloes and the water buffaloes are being sold and are to disappear if there are no conservation and development of indigenous knowledge of the use of water buffaloes.
