Effects of feeding with diets (D1 and D2), Crude protein (CP) 17.82% and CP;19.18% contents on dry matter intake, milk yield, and composition were compared for 20 Anatolian Water buffaloes, distributed in two groups (T, E). Diets did not affect DM intake of concentrate and silage among buffaloes. Milk yield got improved (4.93 to 5.63 kg d-1) (P<0.05) in buffaloes fed by a diet D2 (CP;19.18%) as compared to diet D1 (CP; 17.82%). In general, D1 and D2 diets did not cause any difference in the milk compositions examined of buffaloes on the other hand, using of sunflower cake should be encouraged on the buffalo’s farm.

A total of 491 buffaloes (Murrah and non-descript) reared under unorganized system from semi-arid and arid areas of Rajasthan, India, were screened for their reproductive status. These were screened by history taking, rectal palpation, Ultrasonography and follow up. Out of these screened animals 65.59% were of normal reproductive status (Involved recently parturiated, pregnant etc. animals) while remaining included 11% cases of delayed puberty, 7.94% of delayed post-partum estrus, 5.5% of anestrus/ subestrus, 3.87% of repeat breeding, 2.85% of prolapse, 2.44% of infectious infertility and only 0.81% cases were of cystic ovarian degeneration (COD). Thirty animals were given bypass fat and area specific mineral mixture (ASMM) following parturition till 90 days postpartum, and results were compared with 20 animals from Control group. The uterus of animals given bypass fat and ASMM took significantly less time (24.50±0.34 mean days) for involution than Control group (33±0.61 mean days) also Experimental group took significantly less days (62.60±0.77 mean days) to show first estrus postpartum than Control group (87.00±0.44 mean days). First AI conception rate of Experimental group (60%) was also better than Control group (45%).

The present work intends to use a mPCR for simultaneous detection of Bos taurus, Bubalus bubalis and Salmonella spp. in samples commercially available on Marajó Island, Pará State, Brazil. For this purpose, a mPCR reaction with different concentrations of DNA and primers with different annealing temperatures was optimized. Next, 28 samples of ground meat marketed as being of bovine origin were collected and a mPCR for the determination of species and for the detection of Salmonella spp. were realized. The results demonstrated the efficiency of the proposed technique for identification of Bos taurus, Bubalus bubalis and Salmonella spp. We conclude that the proposed mPCR technique is efficient and that buffalo meat is marketed as bovine on the Island of Marajó and that such frauds violating the current legislation that normalizes the commercialization of ground beef.

The polymorphism in Melatonin receptor 1A (MTNR1A) gene and its association with reproductive cyclicity (cyclic, n=51; non-cyclic, n=50) during summer season and age at first calving (<3.5 years, n=38; >3.5 years, n=60) was investigated in buffaloes subjected to blood sampling. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of genomic DNA was carried out using three primers viz. 824 bp (primer pair 1), 856 bp (primer pair 2) and 268 bp (primer pair 3) corresponding to exon-II of MTNR1A gene. Restriction fragment length polymorphism was performed using PCR products of primer pair 1 and 2. The digestion of PCR product of primer pair 1 with restriction enzymes viz. MnII, RsaI or Eco3II generated total restriction sites respectively as 14, 4 and 5. Based upon differential restriction sites, six genotypes revealed in buffaloes using MnII were MM-1 to MM-6, four genotypes using RsaI were RR-1 to RR-4, and four genotypes using Eco3II were EE-1 to EE-4. The digestion of PCR product of primer pair 2 with MnII, RsaI or Eco3II generated restriction sites respectively as 13, 5 and 6. Based upon differential restriction sites, six genotypes revealed using MnII were mm-1 to mm-6, five genotypes using RsaI were rr-1to rr-5, and three genotypes using Eco3II were ee-1 to ee-3. For primer pair 3, single stranded conformational polymorphism analysis exhibited 5 genotypes viz. AA, BB, AB, CC and DD. The results revealed that the buffaloes during summer had polymorphic genotypes for MTNR1A gene as buffaloes showing reproductive cyclicity had MM-3, MM-4, RR-2, EE-3, mm-2, mm-4, rr-3, ee-3, CC and DD genotypes, whereas their non-cyclic counterparts had MM-2, MM-6, EE-4, mm-3, mm-6, AA, BB and AB genotypes. However, no such differences were recorded with respect to age at first calving. In conclusion, polymorphic genotypes of MTNR1A gene may be considered as genetic markers to identify buffaloes with better reproductive potential during summer season.

The study determined the response of diet supplemented with mustard oil on production performance in lactating Murrah buffaloes at Livestock Farm, College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, NDVSU, Jabalpur, M.P., India. A total of 12 advance pregnant Murrah buffaloes were selected 21 days pre-partum and randomly allocated in 2 groups of 6 each: CON as control with basal diet + no oil and MO as treatment with basal diet + mustard oil supplementation 200 ml/animal/day. The trial was continued for 90 days post-partum. Significant positive response (%) in the daily milk yield, milk fat percent and 6% fat corrected milk yield by 8.10, 9.14 and 14.47, respectively was observed in MO in comparison to CON. Besides, there were insignificant findings for DMI, milk solid not fat, protein and lactose per cent, peak milk yield, persistency of lactation and predicted lactation yield (PLY) between the groups. The study affirms that supplementation of mustard oil improves the production potential of lactating Murrah buffaloes and could be recommended to dairy farmers during transition period and early lactation to earn profits.

The aim of the study was to determine the relations of hygienic status and milk production of Anatolian buffaloes. Fifty milking buffaloes reared in two farms in the Middle Black Sea region of Turkey were used as the study material. To record hygienic status of the animals, udder and flank hygiene scores (UHS and FHS) of the animal’s bodies were evaluated using a scale with 1 to 4 points (1 = very clean, 2 = clean, 3 = dirty, 4 = very dirty). Hygiene index score (HIS) values were consisted of 60% UHS and 40% FHS. To eliminate environmental factors, two parity (1st and ≥2nd) and stage of lactation (SL1<100d and SL2≥100d) subgroups were constituted. The buffalo cows with first parity and later SL had more udder dirtiness (P<0.05) and, the buffalo cows those in SL1 had higher milk yield compared to the other subgroup. A negative and weak correlation (r = -0.227) was estimated between HIS and test day milk yield (TDMY) of milking buffaloes. Confirming these relationships using more data and keeping buffaloes within more hygiene is advised as beneficial approaches.

Present study was conducted to study the morphometric characteristics of slaughtered Murrah buffalo bull testis and its correlation with seminal attributes of epididymal semen. Total 56 pair of slaughtered Murrah buffalo bull testicles were procured from Allana, slaughterhouse, Arrora, and Mass agro food Pvt. Ltd. Unnao Uttar Pradesh, India; maintained at Deep Frozen Semen Laboratory, College of Veterinary science, and animal Husbadry, Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India. Various morphometric parameters of testes and epididymis were analyzed and their correlations with attributes of epididymal semen were evaluated. No significance difference in seminal attributes between 6 h and 12 h after collection of testicles is clearly indicated that semen can be collect up to 12 h after death of animal without any significance loss in quality of semen in Murrah buffalo bull. Significant strong positive correlation among important characteristics (motility, livability and HOS positive sperm) suggests that these test may be used as one of the test for predicting fertility of epididymal semen Murrah buffalo bull.

The study reported aimed to assess the effect of different rearing systems on behavioural responses to novel stimuli in Murrah buffalo calves. Calves in the experiment were grouped in three treatments in accordance with differed maternal interaction: dam-reared through fenceline (FMC; n = 8), restricted maternal contact (RMC; n = 8); no maternal contact (NMC; n = 8). FMC calves had permanent access to their mothers for first 5 days of birth and thereafter were housed in groups with fence line separation from their mothers and suckled twice a day. RMC calves had access to their mother only twice a day during the suckling hours. NMC calves were separated from their mothers within 24 h after birth and fed via bottle with nipple. Behavioral response of each calf toward novel object (a bright coloured ball) was evaluated on exposure during the test for three consecutive days across three months. The findings showed that buffalo calves that were given fence line contact with their mothers performed significantly (P<0.05) the best across all treatment groups in terms of response to a novel stimuli. Whereas the performance of calves with restricted contact with their mothers was superior to calves weaned at birth from their mothers, it was not on par with calves with full time fence line contact with their mothers, calves weaned at birth with no provision of maternal contact performed poorly in terms of behavioural response to novel stimuli.

Traumatic injury by a foreign body is a common cause of traumatic pericarditis (TP) and traumatic reticuloperitonitis in buffaloes. Both mimics almost the same clinical sign under field conditions. Clinical, hematobiochemical and ultrasonographic changes between TP and TRP cases in buffaloes were evaluated in the present study. From the period of January 2020 to December 2020, a total of twelve buffaloes were investigated with TP and TRP conditions. Six animals each suffering from TP and TRP were included along with six normal healthy animals as control. Different clinical signs, haemato-biochemical parameters and ultrasonographical findings were recorded in each group and comparative analysis was done. Brisket edema in TP affected buffaloes and arch back condition in TRP affected buffaloes was the common clinical finding. Ferroscopy was performed to confirm the location of foreign body. Jugular pulsation was noted in Group II as well as Group III buffalo. A significant increase in WBC count and a significant decrease in hematocrit was noted in Group III animals compared to healthy animals. SGOT and fibrinogen concentration was significantly increased in both group animals. Anechoic fluid accumulation in TP and thickening of the reticular wall in TRP were the most consistent ultrasonographic findings in buffaloes.

Brisket edema in TP affected buffaloes and arch back condition in TRP affected buffaloes was the common clinical finding. Ferroscopy was performed to confirm the location of foreign body. Jugular pulsation was noted in Group II as well as Group III buffalo. A significant increase in WBC count and a significant decrease in hematocrit was noted in Group III animals compared to healthy animals. SGOT and fibrinogen concentration was significantly increased in both group animals. Anechoic fluid accumulation in TP and thickening of the reticular wall in TRP were the most consistent ultrasonographic findings in buffaloes.","PeriodicalId":9393,"journal":{"name":"Buffalo Bulletin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41912005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the present study was to generate thermographic profile of foot region viz. body temperature (BTºC), coronary band temperature (CBTºC), hoof skin surface temperature (HSSTºC) and mean temperature difference (ΔTºC) in Murrah buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) and its relation with ambient temperature. A total of 60 hooves of lactating Murrah buffaloes (n = 15) maintained in a farm, were monitored once a day continuously for 15 days before evening milking using forward-looking infrared (FLIR) i5 camera. Total of 1125 thermograms were analyzed using FLIR Quick Report 1.2 image analysis software. The mean ± SD (°C) of BT, CBT, HSST and ΔT of all animals throughout the experimental period were 37.39±0.05, 34.93±0.13, 34.16±0.13 and 0.76±0.26 respectively. The CBT was around 0.5 to 1°C higher than HSST. Statistical analysis revealed that ambient temperature is highly and positively correlated with CBT (ºC) (r = 0.95) and HSST (ºC) (r = 0.99), indicating greater influence of ambient temperature on surface temperature of foot region. Therefore, CBT (ºC) and HSST (ºC) have a tendency to follow variations in ambient temperature (R2 = 0.91 and 0.98 respectively). However, significant difference was observed between BT vs. CBT, BT vs. HSST and CBT vs. HSST (ºC). The mean ± SD (°C) of ΔT of all animals, throughout the observation period was 0.96±0.41. A significant difference was observed in ΔT between animals (P<0.001). However, significant difference was not observed in ΔT between days and among four hooves within animal. It is concluded that, to the best of our knowledge this is the first report on baseline thermographic information on BT, CBT, HSST and ΔT differentials for buffalo and its clinical significance in monitoring hoof health and management.
