Genetic polymorphism of buffalo Bubalus bubalis bubalis by cytogenetic and molecular markers

A STUDY OF PROTEASE INHIBITOR GENE POLYMORPHISM BUFFALO (Bubalus bubalis)

Protease inhibitor (PI) genes belong to the superfamily of serine protease inhibitors that includes C1 esterase, antithrombin, and α1antichymotrypsin, among others. The primary role of PI is to protect tissues against proteolytic digestion by neutrophil elastase. PI is also found to be associated with increased milk and fat yields, increased productive life and decreased somatic cell score. The...

Storage of buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) semen.

Characteristics of buffalo semen, diluents used for liquid storage, aspects involved in freezing and thawing of semen are reviewed, and fertility results after artificial insemination (AI) with frozen-thawed semen are given.

Congenital Malformations in River Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)

The world buffalo population is about 168 million, and it is still growing, in India, China, Brazil, and Italy. In these countries, buffalo genetic breeding programs have been performed for many decades. The occurrence of congenital malformations has caused a slowing of the genetic progress and economic loss for the breeders, due to the death of animals, or damage to their reproductive ability ...

Isolation and characterization of luteal cells in buffalo (Bubalus bubalis).

The objective of the study was to evaluate the morphological and functional characteristics of luteal cells isolated from buffalo ovary. Luteal cells exhibited columnar morphology and contact inhibition at the stage of confluence. Protein concentrations increased linearly from Day 3 to Day 7 of culture. DNA concentrations increased from Day 3 to Day 5 and then declined to Day 7 of culture. PGF2...
