The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of buffalo milk from two farms in the Czech Republic with respect to farm origin and sampling period. A total of 73 individual and pooled milk samples were collected between May and October 2025. Antioxidant capacity was determined using the DPPH radical scavenging assay. Buffalo milk from farm B showed significantly (p < 0.05) higher antioxidant capacity than milk from farm A. Seasonal variation was observed at both farms, with the lowest antioxidant capacity recorded in October and the highest values in June (farm A) and September (farm B). These results indicate that both farm-related factors and production period significantly affect the antioxidant capacity of buffalo milk.
