Abstract : Effect of rbST on Serum Biochemical Values During Various Physiological and Weather Conditions in Kundhi Buffaloes
|
|
Abstract: This study was performed to investigate the effect of rbST treatment on some biochemical parameters in addition to values of thyroid hormones in Kundhi buffaloes. Sixteen Kundhi buffaloes were divided into two groups. Group-A (N=8) served as control and Group-B (N=8) was treated with 250 mg of rbST fortnightly for 1st lactation. Blood samples were collected weekly during lactation period from day one to 60 as pre-treatment values and then from day 61 to completion of 1st lactation in Kundhi buffaloes as post-treatment values. The findings revealed overall non significant variation in the serum biochemical and thyroid hormone values between control and rbST treated buffaloes, whereas, significant differences were observed during various physiological and weather conditions in both groups. Glucose and uric acid values were observed higher during parturition and winter season in Kundhi buffaloes. Protein level was higher in rbST treated buffaloes during open days.

Abstract : In Vito Fertilization in Buffaloes: A Review
|
|
Abstract: This is the review of original data concerning the effect of some factors on oocyte development in vitro of buffaloes. In vitro fertilization is a multi – step process: oocytes maturation, fertilization and embryo culture. In vitro fertilization is strongly influenced by events occurring during oocyte maturation, fertilization and the subsequent development of the fertilized oocytes. With the advancement of IVF procedures, variability in developmental rate and viability of in vitro produced buffalo embryos so, improving the efficiency and identifying the sources of variations between IVF systems are more important when routinely producing blastocysts from individuals of high genetic merits. Also, the development of specific culture regimes capable of supporting in vitro maturation (IVM), in vitro fertilization (IVF) and in vitro culture (IVC) to the blastocyst stage is highly desirable in breeding systems. This paper discusses the technical aspects ofthe procedures involved in in vitro fertilization of buffaloes. Keywords: In vitro, buffaloes, fertilization, IVF.Download Full Article |
Abstract : Isolation and Characterization of Mannheimia varigenafrom a Murrah Buffalo
|
|
Abstract: The present study was aimed to isolate and characterize phenotypically as well as genotypically bacterialstrain from tracheal froth of a Murrah buffalo on the Government livestock farm (GLF) located at Hisar, Haryana. The isolate showed the cultural, morphological and biochemical properties of Mannheimia haemolytica as per Bergey’s manual of determinative bacteriology and as confirmedby GENIII microplate (biolog). However, the isolate was further confirmed as Mannheimia varigenaby 16S rRNA sequencing. Keywords: Mannheimia,16S rRNA sequencing, Murrah buffalo, phenotypic characterization.Download Full Article |
Abstract : Factors Affecting Performance of Indian Murrah Buffalo: A Review
|
|
Abstract: Murrah is one of the best buffalo breed in India. The success of Indian dairy industry is much dependent on productivity and efficient reproduction performance of Murrah buffaloes. The environmental factors are generally influenced the Murrahs' performance as well as other breeds. The performance traits reviewed were first lactation 305-days or less milk yield, first lactation length, first lactation average daily milk yield, dry period, growth, age at first calving, first service period, calving interval, age at maturity, age at calving, days to first service, number of services per conception, breeding interval, breeding efficiency, conception rate and daughter pregnancy rate of Murrah buffalo. All the productive and reproductive traits were affected by herd, year and season of calving. Keywords: Age at first calving, breeding efficiency, environmental factors, first service period Murrah buffalo.Download Full Article |
Abstract : Arthrodesis of a Distal Interphalangeal Joint in a wild African Buffalo (Syncerus caffer)
|
|
Abstract: Intensification of wild ruminants has resulted in more lameness cases that are presented for medical and surgical intervention. Claw problems in these wild and often dangerous animals, although similar to those seen in domestic bovines often require quick decisions and speedy adaptations of generally accepted treatment and procedure protocols. The arthrodesis of the pedal joint in a buffalo cow is one such example. Keywords: Wild, ruminant, claw, fusion, stability.Download Full Article |
