To evaluate different levels of energy for optimum growth in Iranian regional buffalo male calves, a completely randomized study was conducted, using 27 yearling buffalo male calves with initial live weight of 201 ± 14 kg. Three diets were formulated to provide 90%, 100%, and 110% energy level requirements equivalent to those of steers derived from NRC beef cattle recommendations and they were ...

diacylglycerol acyltransferase1 (dgat1) is a key enzyme in synthesis of triglycerides. a transition mutation resulting substitution of guanine by adenine in dgat1 gene and substitution of lysine by alanine in diacylglycerol-acyltransferase enzyme in cattle has a major effect on milk yield and milk composition traits. in this research, the polymorphism of the region spanning exon 3 to exon 17 of...

background: lactoperoxidase (lpo) is one of the most heat-stable enzymes in milk and its inactivation has been proposed for monitoring thermal processes. the aim of this study was to provide information on activity and thermal inactivation behavior of lpo in iranian cow and buffalo milk and whey. methods: sixty cow and buffalo milk samples were collected. the lpo activity was measured using spe...

identification of selection targeted genomic regions is one of the most challenging areas of research in animal genetics, particularly in livestock. we carried out a genome-wide scan for signatures of positive selection to identify genomic regions that had been under selection in iranian khuzestani and mazandrani buffalo breeds. a total of 148 water buffalo from khuzestani (n=121) and mazandran...
