Functional genome profiling of Murrah buffaloes ( Bubalus bubalis ) was performed for milk-production trait by whole blood transcriptome analysis comparing RNA-seq data assembled from high and low milk producing multiparous (5 -6 parity) animals. These reflected the genetic merit inherited as daughters born to extremely high- low-end bulls evaluated under a progeny testing scheme ranked estimat...

The Mannose-binding lectin (MBL1) gene is an important component of immune response system. It plays vital role in activation the complement system and act as chief defense molecule host cell to provide protection against various diseases. In recent study, six novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), at 2689G>C, 2751A>G, 4822T>C, 4853A>G, 4855T>C, 4978T>C resulted 2 non s...

Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) is caused due to respiratory distress the fetus during or before parturition. As a result of asphyxia, fetal gasping causes meconic amniotic fluid entry into air passages and pulmonary complications, sometimes death newborn. In present study, two cases MAS in murrah buffalo calves born full term by assisted delivery died after few hours were received for routi...

The present study reports kinetics of anti-P. multocida antibody (Ab) response at monthly intervals in Murrah buffaloes different age groups vaccinated against combined Foot-and-mouth disease+haemorrhagic septicaemia (FMD+HS) vaccine. A total 60 three having 20 animals each: calves, heifers and adults were used to monitor Ab using single dilution indirect ELISA. percentage adult protected found...

the study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of an estradiol-17β + cidr based protocol with the conventional ovsynch + cidr based protocol for synchrony of wave emergence and ovulation in murrah buffalos. in group i (n=25), on day 0 (beginning of experiment), buffaloes were administered a cidr device (1.38 g p4) and concurrently received 1.5 mg e-17β. on day 9, the cidr was removed and a pr...

The effect of post milking teat dipping on somatic cell count (SCC) of milk was determined in 20 Crossbred cows and 20 Murrah buffaloes selected from institute’s herd. The animals were divided into two groups of 10 each. Animals of Group I (control) were teat washed with water before the milking while Group II animals were applied teat dipping solution after the completion of milking. The cows ...
