Milk production from Asiatic swamp buffalo is a new enterprise in Laos. As yields are limited, provision of high-quality cow-calf molasses nutrient blocks containing 10% urea (UMNB10) may improve productivity. A trial recently established commercial dairy examined dietary supplementation lactating cows with UMNB10, three groups nine mid-lactation randomly selected. Two received ad libitum acces...

Background: Biplot simulation using factor analysis with Promax kappa rotation of 90 is used to determine the coordinates length and body circumference dimensions male female mud buffalo in two-dimensional space. So that it can be known which have fast, medium, slow growth rates, also find out at what age rate fast or slow. Methods: This study 3 buffaloes aged 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 months, so ...

Maternal protein components change markedly during mammalian oogenesis. Many of these proteins have yet to be characterized and verified. In this study, a proteomics approach was used to evaluate changes in proteins during oogenesis in the Swamp Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis). Proteins from 500 immature oocytes and 500 in vitro matured oocytes were subjected to two-dimensional electrophoresis, and m...

Reproductive biotechnologies continue to be developed for genetic improvement of both river and swamp buffalo. Although artificial insemination using frozen semen emerged some decades back, there are still considerable limitations. The major problem appears to be the lack of efficient methods for estrus detection and timely insemination. Controlled breeding experiments in the buffalo had been l...
