A seven-year-old, advance pregnant graded Murrah buffalo was presented with sudden onset of profuse salivation, anorexia, severe tympany and generalized discomfort. Palpation revealed enlarged cervical esophageal mass with pain and gagging reflex. Plain lateral radiography of neck showed presence obstructed mass in cervical esophageal lumen. The obstructed mass was removed via esophagotomy under deep sedation and local infiltration anaesthesia with uneventful recovery.

The study examines the performance of buffalo meat (HS-020230) trade globally and from India, assesses the export competitiveness of buffalo meat export, and identifies the determinants of export growth of buffalo meat from India. The study’s empirical finding reveals that India has approximately 54% of the world’s buffalo population and is one of the major buffalo meat suppliers to the international market. India’s proportion of worldwide buffalo meat exports has increased from 3.34% in 2000 to 11.23% in 2020. During TE 2020, India exported 3052.4 million USD worth of buffalo meat to the rest of the globe, and the single-largest reported destination for India’s buffalo exports was Vietnam, contributing 34% of India’s buffalo meat export. The study determines India’s competitiveness in the buffalo meat sector, and the results showed that China has RCA value greater than one, clearly indicating the strength of India in exporting meat to China. Buffalo population, total livestock population, and GDP of India have been identified as important determinants of the export of buffalo meat from India.

A rare case of conjoined foetal monster twin was delivered successfully by Caesarean section in a pluriparous buffalo which was presented with dystocia. The monster consists of two female foetuses of symmetrical twins (Diplopagus) with double head (Dicephalus), which were fully developed having four forelimbs (Tetrabrachius) and four hind limbs (Tetrapus), joined together from sternum to umbilical region and two separate pelvises with two individual tails (Dicaudatus). The monster can be classified as diplopagus sterno-omphalopagus.

Total six buffaloes of hydroallantois were reported during February to November 2019. All cases were examined thoroughly and decided to go for pregnancy termination. All cases were treated with synthetic prostaglandin, dexamethasone, and fluid therapy. Allontoic fluid was evacuated by passing metal mare uterine catheter per vaginally, however in one buffalo allantoic sac was punctured by the index finger resulted in gushing of amber coloured allantoic fluid. Removal of fluid was coupled with intravenous fluid therapy in order to prevent hypovolaemic shock. All six buffaloes were successfully terminated within 24 to 48 h of treatment with assisted delivery.

The frame size of a buffalo is influenced by several morphometric variables. Large frame sizes are expected to have more meat than small frames. There are many morphological studies of swamp buffalo in Indonesia, but meta-analysis has never been carried out to see the genetic potential based on morphometrics. Data obtained from various publications are stored in Microsoft Excel. Body length, wither height, and chest girth was analyzed using Orange 3.27.1 software to generate principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering. Indonesian swamp buffalo has a medium frame size compared to the crossbred Murrah buffalo and Azikheli except the Maluku buffalo which has a small frame size. Based on hierarchical clustering, there are four clusters for Indonesian swamp buffalo based on three morphometric variables. To produce Indonesian swamp buffalo with a larger frame size, it is advisable to mate male buffalo Aceh with female Southeast Sulawesi buffalo.

Authentication of origin of animal species is of paramount importance owing to economic, social, religious, forensic and public health considerations. In the present study, a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mPCR) was developed by designing unique species-specific forward and a common reverse primers flanking mitochondrial D-loop region for the authentication of cattle (Bos indicus / B. taurus) and buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) species. Novel mPCR amplified 382 bp product specific to cattle and 336 bp specific to buffalo. Possibility of cross amplification in other species was rules out by testing as many as 25 other animal species. The novel mPCR assay developed in this study for the authentic identification and differentiation of meats of cattle and buffalo could be applied for the differentiation of samples derived from cattle and buffalo in diagnostic laboratories thereby ensuring prompt labelling of products, protecting consumer sentiments and enforcement of laws.
由于经济、社会、宗教、法医和公共卫生方面的考虑,动物物种起源的认证至关重要。本研究通过在线粒体d环区两侧设计独特的物种特异性正向引物和共同的反向引物,建立了多重聚合酶链反应(mPCR),用于牛(Bos indicus / B. taurus)和水牛(Bubalus bubalis)物种的鉴定。新型mPCR扩增了382 bp的牛特异性产物和336 bp的水牛特异性产物。通过对多达25种其他动物进行检测,排除了在其他物种中交叉扩增的可能性。本研究中开发的用于牛和水牛肉的真实识别和区分的新型mPCR测定方法可应用于诊断实验室中牛和水牛样品的区分,从而确保产品及时标签,保护消费者情绪和执行法律。

Prolapse is a common ailment associated with parturition in cattle and buffaloes. An eight-year-old, non-descript buffalo with the history of aggressive assistance during parturition was presented at farmers doorstep for third degree complete uterine prolapse. The prolapsed mass haemorrhagic and soiled, the mass was cleaned maintaining all aseptic measures. Animal was restrained and using the three-step management reduction, reposition and retention of the prolapsed mass was undertaken. The blood parameters indicated anaemia, neutrophilia, and eosinophilia, while the serum profile indicated hypocalcaemia. The case was managed rationally by rehydration, supplementation of energy and calcium. The infection and trauma of uterus was managed with antibiotic therapy, analgesics and antiallergics. The animal recovered uneventfully without a relapse of the uterine prolapse.

Two pleuriparous Murrah buffaloes were presented with the history of artificial insemination 9 days back and since early morning animal exhibiting signs of estrus. Per rectal and ultrasonographical examination revealed presence of dominant follicle and CL on different or same ovary at the same time, uterus was toned and oedematous with scanty thick cervico vaginal discharge on back retching. To study the hormonal milieu serum progesterone estimation was done in both mid cycle estrus buffaloes and in other two animals with normal estrous cycle in same stage (Day 9 from the last date of A.I.). The diameter of CL was larger in buffaloes exhibiting midcycle estrus than that of true estrus. In this case study, during mid-cycle estrus secretion of estrogen was higher from dominant follicle of first follicular wave and due lower progesterone concentration from insufficient CL animal exhibit signs of estrum in mid lutel phase.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth curve of 525 monthly body weight data of 19 males (n=313) and 8 females (n=212) swamp buffaloes (Bubalus b. carabanensis), from birth to slaughter age (25 months). The nonlinear models used were: logistic, Gompertz, Von Bertalanffy and Brody. The parameters were estimated by NLIN procedure, and the criteria used to evaluate the adjustment given by the models were Akaike’s information criterion (AIC), Bayesian information criterion (BIC) and coefficient of determination (R2). The results indicated that the better fit of Brody model than the Logistic, Gompertz, and Von Bertalanffy models to our data. The parameters estimate for Brody model [WT = α * (1-βe-k*AGE)] were α = 902.00±45.9912, β = 0,9727±0.0089, k = 0.0483±0.0044, R2 = 0.9748. The estimation of birth and slaughter weights were 24.6596±8.8367 and 639.6467 6.4019 kg, respectively as well as the maturation rate (k) to achieve the mature weigh (α) of 902.00±45.9912 kg was 0.0483±0.0044. Growth curve of weight vs. age of swamp buffalo rearing under intensive system from birth to 25 months old adjusted to the Brody nonlinear model showed growth in a sigmoid-curve model and more accurate in expecting the birth weight of these animals.

Fetal anomalies and monstrosities are the most common cause of dystocia in bovines. Conjoined twins are usually monozygotic in origin and occur due to incomplete division of one embryo into two at the primitive streak of the developmental stage depending upon the site of fusion or non-separation. Reports on such anomalies in buffalo seem to be meager. A rare case of dystocia due to dicephalus, tetrabrachius, thoracophagus, tetrapus, dicaudatus, conjoined female calf was resolved with the use of six-way traction by considering the internal pelvimetry.
