A 1.3 kb satellite DNA from a size defined genomic library of mammal Bubalus bubalis was cloned and sequenced. The clone pSB1 is AT rich with 447 A (33.6%), 262 C (19.7%), 240 G (19.0%) and 383 T (28.8%). There were about 1400 copies of contig in the bubaline genome but it did not uncover allele length variation when used as probe in conjunction with a number of restriction enzymes. The contig ...

The Malaysian water buffalo, Bubalus bubalis, has traditionally been an important livestock for the local people of Sarawak. Buffalo, other ruminants, and non-ruminants are essential industry as they supply largest source protein entire nation. Cattle provide production in at 0.2%, followed by including goats (0.1%), sheep (0.04%), buffalo (0.03%). Water or 'kerbau sawah' it is locally known, o...

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...

The incidence of parthenogenetic development of oocytes in routine IVF practices i.e. without any chemical stimuli, was assessed. After 24 h of maturation while washing and transferring to fertilization medium nine (1.39%) oocytes out of 646 oocytes were found cleaved. All those parthenotes (cleaved oocytes) were transferred to embryo culture medium instead of fertilization medium for observing...

The world buffalo population is about 168 million, and it is still growing, in India, China, Brazil, and Italy. In these countries, buffalo genetic breeding programs have been performed for many decades. The occurrence of congenital malformations has caused a slowing of the genetic progress and economic loss for the breeders, due to the death of animals, or damage to their reproductive ability ...

The bovine species buffalo was domesticated from its wild strain Bubalus arnee and is widely used livestock in southern Asia. There are two distinct types of Buffalo- the swamp (B. bubalis kerebau) river bubalis), which diverged Asian water then evolved separate geographical regions. Several research studies performed on buffalo, like- characterization trait-specific Single Nucleotide Polymorph...

ABSTRACT: This study presented relevant aspects about the Amazonian environment and how it impacts thermal comfort of domestic buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) raised in Eastern Amazon. Furthermore, strategies for monitoring mitigating animal heat stress are presented, based on research results with species. Although considered adaptable animals, exposure to intense solar radiation causes discomfort...
