diacylglycerol acyltransferase1 (dgat1) is a key enzyme in synthesis of triglycerides. a transition mutation resulting substitution of guanine by adenine in dgat1 gene and substitution of lysine by alanine in diacylglycerol-acyltransferase enzyme in cattle has a major effect on milk yield and milk composition traits. in this research, the polymorphism of the region spanning exon 3 to exon 17 of...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Mastitis is a serious disease of dairy animals causing great economic losses due to a reduction in milk yield as well as lowering its nutritive value. The application of somatic cell count (SCC) and alkaline phosphatase activity in the milk for diagnosis of mastitis in buffalo is not well documented. Therefore, the present study was conducted to observe the SCC and alkaline p...

Lactose intolerance is frequently encountered in children with persistent diarrhoea (PD). Selection of an appropriate milk-based formulation is a major management problem in the developing world. In a consecutive series of studies, we evaluated the role of feeding a traditional rice-lentil (khitchri) diet alone (KY) or in combination with either soy formula (KY-Soy) a dilute buffalo milk (KY-B)...

More than 40 million households in India depend at least partially on livestock production. Buffaloes are one of the major milk producers in India. The prolactin receptor (PRLR) gene and peroxisome proliferators activated receptor-γ coactivator 1-alpha (PPARGC1A) gene are reportedly associated with milk protein and milk fat yields in Bos taurus. In this study, we sequenced the PRLR and PPARGC1A...

diacylglycerol acyltransferase1 (dgat1) has been introduced as a strong potential candidate gene for milk fat content in cattle. dgat1 gene plays a key role in the final step of triglyceride synthesis. in this study, the genetic variability in the region spanning exon 1 to exon 2 of the buffalo dgat1 gene was investigated by dna sequencing. two hundred buffaloes belonging to three indigenous po...

Two type of adulterants i.e. soybean oil (SO) and buffalo depot fat (BDF) along with pure cow and buffalo milk fats, collected and prepared after every two months of interval for a complete one year, were analyzed for their fatty acid composition using gas liquid chromatography. Both the adulterants were added individually at 5, 10 and 15 percent levels (v/v) as well as in their combinations at...

The water buffalo is vital to the lives of small farmers and to the economy of many countries worldwide. Not only are they draught animals, but they are also a source of meat, horns, skin and particularly the rich and precious milk that may be converted to creams, butter, yogurt and many cheeses. Genome analysis of water buffalo has advanced significantly in recent years. This review focuses on...

in this research, buffalo production was studied from view points of housing, feeding, milk production and reproducrion in rural area of shoushtar, khuzestan. the results of this study revealed that in a herd 66.7 , 8.3 and 25 % were breeders (adult females), adult bulls and valves. each breeder female buffalo had 3-17 parturation in whole life. first service was done at 18 month after birth an...

Mastitis is a highly morbid disease that requires detection at the subclinical stage. Tropical countries like India mainly depend on milch buffaloes for milk. The present study was conducted to investigate whether the trace minerals viz. copper (Cu), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), cobalt (Co) and manganese (Mn) and enzyme activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and aspartate ...
