Background: Marker assisted selection based strategies are essential to identify superior quality bulls at an early age for frozen semen production. The present study aims determine the genetic variants in Y-chromosome specific genes, sex determining region on (SRY) and testis protein Y-encoded (TSPY) association with production traits Murrah buffalo bulls. Methods: genomic DNA extracted from b...

The data on 171 Murrah buffaloes sired by 49 pertaining to lifetime performance traits were collected from history cum pedigree sheets maintained at Buffalo Research Centre (BRC), Lala Lajpat Rai University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Hisar over a period of 20 years from 1990 to 2009. Analysis of variance done by restricted maximum likelihood method of Harvey (1990) using mixed linear re...

The present study was designed to investigate the effect of acute heat stress on some hematological parameters in which young and adult Murrah buffaloes (n=6) were exposed to 40°C, 42°C, 45°C for 4 h duration in climatic chamber and thermoneutral temperature (22°C). Blood samples were collected by jugular vein puncture in sterile vacutainer tubes containing ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (E...

The present study was undertaken to examine the incidence of Eimeria species infection in Murrah buffalo calves and evaluate therapeutic management disease. In November 2019, 9 10 buffaloes up 3 months age showed symptoms diarrhoea, loss appetite, poor weight gain at an organised dairy farm. Based on history, faecal samples were collected from 20 subjected standard qualitative coprological exam...
