Lysozyme, a low-molecular weight basic protein, is an important component of the antibacterial system in milk. Lysozyme activity is higher in buffalo milk (60±3.9r 10 units/ml) than in bovine milk (29.1±1.5r10 units/ ml). Buffalo colostrum contains five-times more lysozyme activity than mature milk (Priyadarshini & Kansal, 2002a). Lysozyme activity in buffalo milk is not influenced by the parit...

BACKGROUND Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) existing in two interconvertible forms, xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) and xanthine oxidase (XO), catabolises xanthine to uric acid that is further broken down to antioxidative agent allantoin. XOR also produces free radicals serving as second messenger and microbicidal agent. Large variation in the XO activity has been observed among various species. Both...

East coast fever is a disease of cattle caused by Theileria parva and is transmitted by the tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus. Buffalos are a natural reservoir of the parasite. The objectives of this study were to determine the T. parva infection in buffalo and cattle field samples, to identify genotypes of T. parva infecting cattle and buffalo and finally to investigate the presence of buffalo...

The major aim of this study was to compare the morphology and activity of rumen protozoa of Khuzestan water buffalo and Holstein cow using in vitro digestibility and gas production parameters of steam treated sugarcane pith. Rumen fluid obtained from two buffalo and cow steers fed the same diet, 30:70 concentrate: forage. To separate rumen protozoa, antibiotic solution and fungicides were added...

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...

Materials and Methods The estimate of world buffalo population is approximately 185.29 million dispersed in 42 countries, out of which 97% (179.75 million) are found only in Asia [1]. India has approximately 57% (105.3 million) of the total world buffalo population. The water buffalo ( ) contributes immensely to the agricultural economy through milk, meat, hides and draught power [2]. Share of ...
