Bovine mastitis is one of the major ill-health of cattle and buffaloes, responsible for great economic loss to dairy industry affecting livestock farmers worldwide. The major economic consequences of clinical bovine mastitis are due to treatment, loss in milk production, culling, changes in product quality and the risk of other diseases (Halasa et al., 2007). For etiological diagnosis of bovine...

On-field trial was conducted in dairy animals to evaluate efficacy of Styplon Vet Bolus (M/s Himalaya Drug Company, Banglore, India) as supportive therapy in management of hemorrhagic conditions (Hematuria, hemoagalectia, bleeding wounds, uterine bleeding and epistaxis) of ruminants. Styplon Vet 1-2 boli twice daily was administered to cows and buffaloes, and 1⁄2 bolus twice daily for sheep til...

Greenhouse gas (GHG; methane and nitrous oxide) emissions from enteric fermentation and manure management of Indian livestock were estimated from the last two Indian livestock census datasets (2003 and 2007) using IPCC Tier 2 (2006) guidelines. The total annual GHG emissions from Indian livestock increased in 2007 compared to the year 2003 with an annual growth rate of 1.52% over this period. T...

the present study was undertaken to examine the efficacy of a treatment regime using a controlled internal drug release (cidr) device in conjunction with injections of gonadotropin releasing hormone (gnrh) and prostaglandin f2α (pgf2α) on conception rate of repeat-breeding iraqi buffaloes. data were collected from 100 buffaloeswith repeat breeding in ninevehprovince housed at six private dairy ...

The businesses community of different sectors affected by current energy crisis in Pakistan tends towards dairy business. They are highly interested by the information on milk composition particularly of buffalo milk due to its major contribution in national’s milk production i.e. 63% according to the FAO’s published data of 2010. It is necessary to know for maximum value addition in dairy food...

Dairy cattle and buffalo production has undergone a major transformation resulting into a substantial increase in milk production thus helping our country to achieve top position in milk production in the world. Even though various animal breeding and management programmes have contributed to this improvement, there are constraints hampering the growth which require proper attention by initiati...

The present experiment was conducted on 60 randomly selected dairy units consisting of 116 Graded Murrah,70 Diara type and 121 Non-descript type buffalo cows utilizing the procedure of ‘’stratified random sampling with proportional allocation (Snedecor & Cochran,1967) in and around Patna.Genetic factors were the three different genetic groups of buffaloes viz. Graded murrah,Diara and Non-descri...

Buffaloes make better use of coarse and inferior feed by converting them to biologically valuable animal production. They very good the additional production crop production, such as straw, sunflower cakes, sprouts other. The aim is study physicochemical fatty acid composition rations buffalo Bulgarian mura breed in a church farm Gigentsi village, Pernik District. application standard methods f...

Heat stress is the main challenge for buffaloes as animals. The wallow in water to abate heat load. use of sprayed from sprinklers/soakers or misters has been most common method cooling dairy animals during summer. This study aimed evaluate effects a strategy on milk yield, physiological, behavioral and biochemical activities buffaloes. Thirty aged (4-7) years old were used. divided into two gr...

Oocytes from dairy cattle and buffaloes have severely compromised developmental competence during summer. While analysis of gene expression is a powerful technique for understanding the factors affecting developmental hindrance in oocytes, analysis by real-time reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) relies on the correct normalization by reference genes showing stable expression. Furthermore, sever...
