Recognizing the importance of establishing one systematic database on buffalo information, the Philippine Carabao Center, an attached agency of the Department of Agriculture of the Philippines, takes the initiative to develop the International Buffalo Knowledge Resource Service (IBKRS), as a web-based electronic source of information on selected quality technical buffalo researches.

Its geographic coverage is international in scope with emphasis on countries with long years of established and reputable buffalo research information facilities.

IBKRS an information resource center designed and dedicated to facilitate the compilation, organization and dissemination of information on all areas relevant to buffalo production, breeding and genetics, reproductive biotechnologies, feeding management, animal husbandry and health, dairying and dairy technologies, and enterprise development.
