The study was performed on Iraqi buffaloes in 4 different location from governorates with a number of 120 animals within 6 buffalo breeder farms and taking 20 buffalo from each breeder with the purpose of fixation some morphological characters in Iraqi dairy buffaloes and correlation coefficient within these treats and result are : 1.

The overall mean for chest girth , barrel girth , chest and barrel depth , the all body length and body length (slanting ) were 232.02 , 262.8 , 81.39 , 80.86 , 244.85and11947 cm respectively .

2.

Also, overall mean for height at shoulder , height at tail attachment , distance between shoulder and femurs , tail length and horn length with height of udder from earth were : 147.66 , 145.8 , 45.65 , 61.41 , 40.39 , 100.85 and 63.26 cm respectively.

3.

The effected of parity for first five treats were significant (p < 0.01) besides to horn length and height of udder from earth .

4.

Most of correlation coefficients for different body dimension were positive and highly significant , while hight of udder fromearth with other characters were nagetive and not significant.

5.

The effect of lactation was highly significant for body length ( slanting ) , distance between femurs, horn length and hight of udder from earth and significant ( p < 0.05 ) for chest girth , the all boy length an hight at shoulder , since all other characters look significant .

So, they required more studies on this animal and are intensifying efforts between breeders and researchers to highlight the economic importance and non – negligible because it is the task of national wealth in animal resources.
