This work describes the fatty acid and glyceride structures of Indian buffalo milk and depot fats. Only three other an4lyses of buffalo milk fat exist in the literature (Bhattacharya & Hilditch, 1931; Heiduschka & Cicekdagi, 1940), in only one of which was an examination made of the glyceride configuration, while no analysis of buffalo depot fat has so far been reported. The work below was ther...

The Asian buffalo or the Water buffalo is classified in the genus Bubalus, species bubalis. Taming occurred at recent times (5,000 years ago) compared to taming of Bos Taurus and Bos Indicus (10,000 years ago). Asian buffalo includes two subspecies named also types: the River and the Swamp, the morphology and the purposes of which are different as well as the genetics. The River buffalo has 50 ...

The present study was conducted to study the effect of fortified soymilk as milk replacer on growth performance and feeding economics of Murrah buffalo calves. Twenty four Murrah buffalo calves of (5 days age) were randomly distributed to four dietary treatment groups (T1, T2, T3 and T4). T1 was control group in which calves were reared on buffalo milk only. In T2 and T3 groups calves were fed ...

conclusions to avoid unfair competition and to assure consumers of accurate labeling, using this method is recommended for regulatory agencies. results the limit of detection of cow’s milk in buffalo’s milk, yogurt and cheese is 1, 2 and 4%, respectively. undeclared presence of cow’s milk was detected in 70% of the milk samples, 64% of the yogurt and 52% of the cheese samples. in 10% of the yog...

The aim of this study was to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in buffaloes associated with milk yield and content, in addition to somatic cell scores based on the cross-species transferability of SNPs from cattle to buffalo. A total of 15,745 SNPs were analyzed, of which 1562 showed 1% significance and 4742 with 5% significance, which were associated for all traits studied. After...

This study investigated the effect of milk composition (cow-, buffalo-, and mixed- milk) on color, textural, rheological, microstructural sensorial attributes chhana (Indian cottage cheese). Principle component analysis cluster were used to correlate quality attributes. Instrumental properties descriptors for that contributed most textural sensory identified. Chhana containing 100% 75% cow foun...

BACKGROUND Indian cattle (Bos indicus) and riverine buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) give a poor yield of milk but it has a high fat and protein percentage compared to taurine cattle. The identification of QTLs (Quantitative Trait Loci) on BTA14 and BTA6 and its subsequent fine mapping has led to identification of two non conservative mutations affecting milk production and composition. Our objective ...

Osteopontin, a glycoprotein, is expressed in several tissues including the mammary gland. The gene has been reported to be associated with milk and its constituents in various livestock species. This gene was sequenced in buffalo and it coded for the protein of 280 amino acids with the conserved GRGDS domain. The sequence was confirmed from the cDNA sequence derived from the mammary gland of bu...

A total of 200 milk samples from cattle (n = 86) and buffalo (n = 114) were evaluated using milk ring test (MRT) and indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (i-ELISA). The overall prevalence was found to be 3% and 8.5% in cattle and buffaloes using MRT and i-ELISA, respectively. The prevalence was 4.6% and 1.7% in cattle and buffalo using MRT, respectively, while i-ELISA exhibited 20% and 0%...

UĞURLU, M., I. KAYA and M. SARAY, 2016. Effects of some environmental factors on calf birth weight and milk yield of Anatolian Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis). Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 22: 995–998 This research was conducted to determine the effects of some environmental factors on calf birth weight, milk yield and lactation length in Anatolian Water Buffalo. The data on birth weight of 1006 buffa...
