AIM The aim of this study was to assess the effect of microclimate alteration on temperature-humidity index (THI), milk yield, and milk composition of Murrah buffaloes during summer for a period of 90-day from March to May-2014 at Buffalo Research Station, Venkataramannagudem, Andhra Pradesh, India. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 40 lactating Murrah buffaloes were selected having similar bo...

in order to determine the incidence of buffaloes on enteric ch4 emissions, information about animal production and farm management was analyzed and the ch4 emission factor estimated using the ipcc tier 2 model. ch4 emission factor for the category of buffalo cattle and buffalo bulls was estimated for the period 2000-2007, in italy, europe and worldwide. during 2007, the ch4 emission factor for ...

Milk pudding can be defined as a soft kind of cooked dish, commonly prepared with sugar, milk, fruits and stabilizers. Addition helps to render good flavour increases its palatability nutritive value. The starch used in the formulation has an important role for providing essential properties product, imparting body mouth feel. was from buffalo milk (standardized 6 % fat 9 SNF) constant level su...

BACKGROUND Immunoglobulin E-mediated allergy to cow's milk protein represents a major problem for infants who are not breast fed. A search for substitute milks revealed a cross-allergenicity to milk derived from goat and sheep but not to milk from a mare. We noted that the cow, goat and sheep species are both artiodactyls and ruminants, defining them as kosher animals, in contrast to the mare. ...

AIM The present study was undertaken with the prime objective of isolating and identifying Listeria spp. from various foods of animal origin sold at retail market outlets in the city of Navsari, Gujarat. MATERIALS AND METHODS Total 200 samples comprising of milk, milk products, meat, and fish (50 each) collected aseptically from local market which were subjected first to pre-enrichment in hal...

objective: diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 is a microsomal enzyme that catalyzes the final step of triglyceride synthesis. the objective of this project is to check out the polymorphism at the exon 8 region of dgat1 gene using pcr-sscp technique in iranian water buffaloes (bubalus bubalis). recent activities have shown that a significant association between lysine at amino acid position 232 wi...

Melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) is associated with feed intake, growth, fatness, and carcass composition in many domestic animals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in MC4R with milk production traits in water buffalo. Eight SNPs were identified by direct polymerase chain reaction sequencing of samples from 18 buffaloes. SNPs were the...

Buffalo milk and mozzarella cheese produced in the Caserta and Salerno areas in Campania region have been investigated on the presence and the levels of polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs). Seven congeners, six non dioxin-like (NDL-PCBs nos. 28, 52, 101, 138, 153 and 180) and one dioxin-like (DL-PCB n. 118), were detected. PCBs were found at detectable levels in the 83% of the buffalo milk and in the 10...

The objective of the current study was to isolate and identify phenotypes of Staphylococcus spp. strains derived from buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) milk. A total of 548 milk samples from 137 buffalo were cultured in Columbia agar enriched with 5% defibrinated sheep blood. Determination of the capacity of Staphylococcus aureus to produce enterotoxins A-D and toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) was...
