The developers at Giants Software continue to delight us with new and exciting details about the upcoming Farming Simulator 25. One of the significant additions, which will undoubtedly make the gameplay more engaging and diverse, is the introduction of water buffaloes to the range of animals available for your farm. In this article, we will take a closer look at what water buffaloes are, how they fit into the gameplay, and how they can be effectively used to enhance your farm's productivity.

Water Buffaloes: Features of the New Animal Species in FS25

Water buffaloes are large, strong, yet low-maintenance animals that make their debut in Farming Simulator 25. These animals are known for their ability to adapt to harsh conditions, making them ideal for the new maps inspired by regions of South and East Asia. With this addition, livestock farming will become even more interesting.

Let's explore all the advantages of water buffaloes and why they are worth raising for profit in FS25.

Unique Features of Water Buffaloes

• Adaptability to Harsh Conditions: Water buffaloes easily adapt to hot and humid climates, making them well-suited for the new Asian maps included in the game. This ensures that you don't have to worry about their survival and can confidently profit from keeping them.

• Low Maintenance Requirements: Despite their strength, water buffaloes do not require complex care, making them an excellent choice if you want to maximize returns with minimal time and resource investment. This is especially beneficial in the early stages of the game when your capital is still small, and you are just starting to develop your farming business. Raising buffaloes can be a successful start.

• High Productivity: These animals are excellent milk producers. Water buffalo milk is rich in fat, protein, and minerals, making it ideal for producing various dairy products such as mozzarella. This opens up new opportunities for players to expand their farming business, including the production of new types of products. As is well known, if you don't sell raw materials immediately but use them in a production chain, the final profit will be significantly higher. This also diversifies the gameplay.

• Breeding from Calves: Like any other animals in FS25, you can raise water buffaloes from calves. Yes, you can buy not only adult animals but also their young and care for them to grow them into adults. This process may take quite a bit of time, but it is incredibly engaging and will bring you a lot of enjoyment.
  
  

Thus, buffaloes in Farming Simulator 25 will become some of the easiest animals to maintain and highly profitable for breeding.

Milk Production and New Products

One of the key features of water buffaloes in FS25 is their ability to produce milk. You can sell it as raw material to special facilities and earn instant profit. However, it is much more profitable to use buffalo milk to produce products such as mozzarella. This is a new, highly profitable product that will appear in FS25, allowing you to earn significantly more.

The production process begins with keeping water buffaloes and collecting their milk. The milk can then be sent for processing to create various dairy products. The finished products can be confidently delivered to special sales points for sale.

Additionally, there will be an opportunity to sell adult buffaloes. If you buy buffalo calves, raise them, you can profit by selling the adult animals. However, keep in mind that this method of income is the least productive, as the profit earned will be minimal. It is much more effective to collect milk from the buffaloes and put it into production.

Buffalo Care Features

• Buffalo Care: To start producing milk, water buffaloes must reach maturity, which occurs around 18 months. After this, they begin producing milk and can give birth to offspring, allowing you to expand your herd and generate even more profit.

• Milk Collection and Processing: Milk can be collected and sent for processing at dairies, where various products, such as mozzarella, a new product in the game, will be made. You can produce and sell this product, expanding your farm's product range and increasing revenue.

• Social Interactions with Buffaloes: It is important to note that water buffaloes are social animals, so keeping them in a herd will encourage greater productivity. Additionally, new opportunities will arise for interactions with in-game characters, who will provide advice on buffalo care and offer various services.

New Mechanic: Using Buffaloes for Field Grazing

One of the interesting new mechanics introduced with water buffaloes is the ability to use them for pasture grazing. Buffaloes, like other animals, will graze on your fields, helping you maintain the grass level. This not only adds realism to the gameplay but also allows you to use the animals for natural grass cutting, reducing the need for machinery. Thus, you get a double benefit — on one hand, the animals are fed and produce milk, and on the other, you don't have to spend money and time mowing the grass.

In conclusion, the addition of buffaloes to the gameplay will give players more opportunities in livestock farming. The game will become much more interesting with new mechanics and unique productions that were previously unavailable. Breeding buffaloes promises to be an engaging and profitable activity. We look forward to more details about Farming Simulator 25.
