A total 919 buffaloes from 38 dairy farms Kasur, Punjab, Pakistan were included in this study. Milk per annum for grazing, non-grazing partial grazing category B. recorded with a minimum value 1808, 1856 1780 liters, ...

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 ...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Suboestrus constitutes the largest factor responsible for poor reproductive efficiency in buffaloes. Therefore, oestrus synchronization (OS) and fixed-time artificial insemination (AI) is considered an alternative approach to enhance reproductive efficiency in buffaloes. Thus, the present study was carried out to study the efficacy of modified Ovsynch protocol with fixed time...

The present study was conducted to assess the interrelation between teat anatomy and machine milking in dairy buffaloes raised in Switzerland. A 3-min pre-stimulation induced milk ejection before cluster attachment in most cases and caused an optimal milk removal during machine milking. In an additional experiment, longitudinal cross-section ultrasound was obtained before and after a 3-min pre-...

Weaning is one of the important management practices, which mostly followed at organized dairy farms in India and abroad. Generally breeding programme buffalo focusses on milk production, however weaning can additionally boost total production farm, apart from increasing reproductive potential adults promoting scientific rearing young calves.
