The prevalence and incidence of Trypanosoma evansi infections in village buffaloes in Central Java were estimated using parasitological tests, two antigen-detection ELISAs (2G6 Ag-ELISA and Tr7 Ag-ELISA), an antibody-detection ELISA (IgG ELISA) and a card agglutination test (CATT). Of 2387 village buffaloes tested in five districts, 4 % (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 3 %, 5 %) were positive wi...

The buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is an important contributor to milk, meat, power, fuel and leather production in many developing countries. Buffaloes can be categorized into Asian and Mediterranean buffaloes. Asian buffalo includes two subspecies known as Riverine and Swamp types. Riverine (water buffalo) and Swamp buffaloes possess different genetics (50 vs. 48 chromosomes, respectively), morpho...

b a ckground: there is a little or no data available on the natural babesia bovis ( b . bovis ) infection in water buffaloes( buba l u s bubalis ) comparing to the available one for cattle. this study was conducted to investigate the natural b. bovis infection in water buffaloes in comparison to crossbred cattle under field conditions in egypt. m e t hods: a total of 35 buffaloes and cattle wer...

Lipids in liver wet and dry matter, liver moist and dry matter and their relationships were investigated based on species, sex and age in cows, buffaloes, sheep and goats. Mean percentage of lipids in liver wet and dry matter and liver dry matter in cows were 3.60%, 1.10%, 29.70%, and for buffaloes were 5.30%, 1.55%, 29.20%, sheep 3.00%, 0.83%, 27.90%, and goats 2.910%, 1.55% and 28.40%, respec...

AIM The aim of this study was to assess the effect of microclimate alteration on temperature-humidity index (THI), milk yield, and milk composition of Murrah buffaloes during summer for a period of 90-day from March to May-2014 at Buffalo Research Station, Venkataramannagudem, Andhra Pradesh, India. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 40 lactating Murrah buffaloes were selected having similar bo...

This study compared the composition, yield, and freezing point of buffalo colostrum milk collected on 30th, 60th, 90th day lactation from purebred Murrah its crosses with Philippine Carabao. A total 133 samples were 36 buffaloes (20 16 “Murrah x Carabao” crosses) evaluated for fat, protein, lactose content, solids non-fat (SNF), solids, point. Colostrum contained significantly (p<0.05) more ...

The temperature–humidity index (THI) has been commonly used to analyse heat stress in dairy cattle, but little is known about its effects on buffaloes. In this study, daily milk yield (MY), fat percentage (FP), protein (PP) and somatic cell count (SCC) data from 808 buffalo cows plus environmental temperature relative humidity were investigate the consequence of stress. Two mixed models evaluat...

The present research was carried out to study the bio-ecological aspects and density of Haematobia exigua flies in cattle buffaloes. total length life cycle from laying eggs emergence adult recorded as 10 days, 15 days 12 respectively during monsoon, winter summer season. Cattle Konkan region having highest fly followed by North Maharashtra, lower Vidarbha, Western Maharashtra lowest Marathwada...

The purpose of this study was to determine the G>C mutation on exon 9 (G21234C) Bovine Smoothened (SMO) gene polymorphism by using Cfr13I restriction enzyme with PCR-RFLP method in both Anatolian Black cattle and Water Buffaloes. According SMO gene, results showed that there were three genotypes such as GG, GC CC cattle, but only one genotype GG Allele frequencies estimated 0.35 0.65 for G C...
