More than 40 million households in India depend at least partially on livestock production. Buffaloes are one of the major milk producers in India. The prolactin receptor (PRLR) gene and peroxisome proliferators activated receptor-γ coactivator 1-alpha (PPARGC1A) gene are reportedly associated with milk protein and milk fat yields in Bos taurus. In this study, we sequenced the PRLR and PPARGC1A...

Pharmacokinetics and urinary excretion of an intravenous dose of 5 mg.kg-1 ofloxacin were investigated in water buffalo calves. Plasma concentrations of ofloxacin were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. Ofloxacin was rapidly distributed from the central to the peripheral compartment as evidenced by a short distribution half-life (0.09 h ± 0.003 h) and high K12 (4.7 h(-1) ± 0....

the indian riverine buffaloes are more susceptible to variations in the environment. these variations affect seminal plasma proteins, which in turn affect fertility. this study was conducted to evaluate variations in the indian bubalus bubalis seminal plasma protein profile using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2d-page) during winter and summer seasons, and its relation with...

River buffalo, Bubalus bubalis is a large bovine species frequently used livestock in southern Asia. It is believed that the river buffalo was domesticated from Bubalus arnee, the wild buffalo of mainland Asia, a few thousand years ago, probably during the period of Indus Valley civilization. However, the domestication history of the river buffalo has been the subject of debate for many decades...

When buffalo were fed once daily, significant diurnal variations in concentration of rumen ciliates and occurrence of dividing protozoa were found. Differences in proportions of dividing Entodinium- and Diplodinium-type ciliates were also observed. Results obtained suggest that the range of diurnal fluctuations in rumen protozoa concentration may be related to the percentage of dividing cells i...

1 To determine the nationwide status of persistent BVDV infection in different members 2 from Bos taurus and Bubalus bubalus in China and compare different test methods, a 3 total of 1379 serum samples from clinical healthy dairy cattle (Chinese Holstein), beef 4 cattle, yaks (Bos grunniens), and water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) were collected in 5 eight provinces of China from 2010 to 2013. The...

Muhammad G. , M. Saqib, M. Athar: Fatal Actinobacillosis in a Dairy Buffalo. Acta Vet. Brno 2006, 75: 247-250. The present report describes a case of fatal actinobacillosis in a dairy buffalo (Bubalus bubalis). Clinical signs included a large multilobular, firm abscess located caudo-ventral to the right ear base, submandiblar and prescapular lymphadenopathy, fever and dyspnoea. Haemogram reveal...

River buffalo genome analyses have advanced significantly in the last decade, and the genome sequence of Bubalus bubalis will be available shortly. Nonetheless, large-insert DNA library resources such as bacterial artificial chromosomes (BAC) are still required for validation and accurate assembly of the genome sequence. We constructed a river buffalo BAC library containing 52,224 clones ...
