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.

Characterization of Osteopontin gene of Bubalus bubalis.

Osteopontin, a glycoprotein, is expressed in several tissues including the mammary gland. The gene has been reported to be associated with milk and its constituents in various livestock species. This gene was sequenced in buffalo and it coded for the protein of 280 amino acids with the conserved GRGDS domain. The sequence was confirmed from the cDNA sequence derived from the mammary gland of bu...

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 ...

Histogenesis of the Spinal Cord in Indian Buffalo (bubalus Bubalis)

The caudal part of the neural tube developed into the spinal cord at 1.5 cm CVRL (35 days) with clearly differentiated ependymal, mantle and marginal layers. From 6.4 cm CVRL (57 days) onwards, cilia were present on the ependymal cells lining the central canal. At the same stage, the mantle layer appeared at the roof and floor plate. It showed different stages of developing neurons and supporti...
