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 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.

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...
