Objective: Diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 is a microsomal enzyme that catalyzes the final step of triglyceride synthesis. The objective of this project is to check out the polymorphism at the exon 8 region of DGAT1 gene using PCR-SSCP technique in Iranian water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis). Recent activities have shown that a significant association between lysine at amino acid positi...

To assess the effect of probiotic (having Lactobacillus acidophilus) supplementation on pre-ruminant (0-3 months age) buffalo calves, total eight buffalo calves were divided into two groups of four calves in each with completely randomized design (CRD) according to their body weight. One group was the control while the other group was supplemented with bacteria Lactobacillusacidophilus-containi...
