Morphological characteristics of foetal membranes of swamp buffaloes of Assam

چکیده
The present investigation was undertaken to study the morphological characteristics of foetal membrane of swamp buffaloes of Assam. Animals were calved normally and no cases of retention of placenta were recorded. The average expulsion time, weight, length, width and number of cotyledons of foetal membranes were 241.20+ 22.05 minutes, 3.47+0.12 kg, 171.87+ 2.99 cm, 30.83+ 0.73 cm and 114.83+ 5.56 respectively. A highly significant (P<0.01) positive correlation between birth weight of the calf and weight and width of the foetal membranes and a significant (P<0.05) positive correlation between birth weight and number of small cotyledons of foetal membranes were recorded in the present study. There was no significant effect of parity on various characteristics of foetal membranes except the number of large cotyledons. The number of large cotyledons was significantly (P<0.05) higher in animals of third to fifth lactation than in animals of first and second lactation. The sex of calves had no significant effect on various characteristics of foetal membranes.

An attempt has been made to analyze the distribution of the beta-lactoglobulin genotype in swamp buffaloes and Murrah buffaloes utilizing polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP). Blood samples were taken from 50 swamp buffaloes and 50 Murrah buffaloes. The DNA was extracted by the phenol-chloroform method. The PCR-RFLP was performed using beta-lactoglobulin ...

This research was conducted to estimate the amount of microbial protein synthesis in Iranian buffaloes' rumen. Four male swamp buffaloes with average live body weight of 140±10 kg were used in this study. Four diets of 0 (control diet, 100% forage), 15, 30 and 45% concentrate in a 4 × 4 Latin Square were tested. The results indicated that by increasing the concentrate level in the diet of swamp...

The complete coding region sequence of the SRY gene in Chinese swamp buffalo was determined by PCR product sequencing. Comparison of swamp and river buffalo SRY gene sequences revealed a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP, C/G) at the 202 bp site of the coding region. Further, a total of 124 male domestic buffaloes were genotyped at this SNP site using the PCR-SSCP method, and it was found tha...
