This study compared the composition, yield, and freezing point of buffalo colostrum milk collected on 30th, 60th, 90th day lactation from purebred Murrah its crosses with Philippine Carabao. A total 133 samples were 36 buffaloes (20 16 “Murrah x Carabao” crosses) evaluated for fat, protein, lactose content, solids non-fat (SNF), solids, point. Colostrum contained significantly (p<0.05) more ...

Murrah is a predominant milch breed of buffalo in India with superior genetic potential for milk production. Estimation parameters production and reproduction traits prerequisite making breeding plan efficient management decisions. This work was undertaken to understand the influence on performance by various factors (genetic non-genetic) along assessment buffaloes. The were figured using mixed...

The present investigation was undertaken to estimate the effect of non-genetic factors on different production traits Murrah buffaloes maintained at Buffalo Research Centre, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, India. A total 1128 lactation records 326 buffalo were targeted explore factors. considered for study yield (LY), length (LL), 305 days milk (305 MY), peak (PY)...

BACKGROUND Buffaloes are silent heat animals and lacunae in their estrus detection results a substantial economic loss in developing countries. Many advanced tools to aid heat detection have been developed but are neither affordable nor easily interpretable by marginal farmers. AIM The present investigation was made to develop a cost-effective estrus detection model by combining several known...

Previous studies suggested a close relationship between ruminant gut microbes and the mammary gland. In this study, shotgun metagenomic sequencing was used to reveal the differences in the intestinal microbiome potentially related to milk components in Murrah buffaloes and Chinese Holstein cattle. A PCoA based on the weighted Unifrac distances showed an apparent clustering pattern in the struct...

The data pertaining to variable production and reproduction traits of Murrah buffaloes (1980 lactation records of 698 Murrah buffaloes) were collected from the Central Cattle Breeding Farm, Alamadhi, Tamil Nadu, India. The overall leastsquares means (± SE) for peak yield, days to attain peak yield, 305-day milk yield, lactation length, lactation milk yield, service period, calving interval and ...

The current experiment was conducted to reduce the cost of superovulation by reducing the dose of FSH by partial replacement with PMSG. Five elite, multiparous, Murrah buffaloes, 80 to 120 days postpartum, were included in multiple-ovulation embryo transfer (MOET) schedule. The estrus was synchronized with one injection of prostaglandin. Superovulatory treatment was started from day 10 of induc...

This srudy was conducted to investigate the effect of washing on motility, liveability (hours) and absolute index of liveability of buffalo bull spermatozoa at 37°C. Five pooled (1st and 2nd ejaculate) samples from each of the two buffalo bulls were collected. Each pooled ejaculate was divided into five aliquots (A, ro E). Of these, B to E were centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 15 minutes. The semina...

The present study was designed to see whether adding glutathione to tris-citric egg yolk extender improves the quality of buffalo bull spermatozoa stored at 5°C for five days. Semen collected from Nili-Ravi buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) bulls (n = 5) was diluted (37C; 10 x 10 motile spermatozoa per ml) with extender having glutathione (0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0mM). The extended semen was cooled fr...
