ABSTRACT: The fluorescence polarization assay (FPA), two variants (V) of the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent (I-ELISA) and competitive (C-ELISA) were evaluated in buffaloes to detect antibodies against Brucella spp. V1 I-ELISA identifies them through monoclonal (M23) anti-bovine IgG (I-ELISAM23) V2 ProteinA / G (I-ELISA-A/G). Serum samples 862 (Bubalus bubalis) from Northeast Argentina (NE...

The present study was carried out at Livestock Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat to investigate the effect of parity on milking parlour behaviour, temperament and welfare postpartum Surti buffaloes. Fourteen buffaloes were selected grouped based as primiparous multiparous (2nd 5th lactation). behaviour experimental animals observed day calving, 7th, 15th, 30th,...

Male Indian buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) calves were submitted to Schistosoma mansoni infection by percutaneous, oral and subcutaneous routes. No worms or eggs were found in four of the animals tested. Bubalus bubalis appears to be refractory for S. mansoni.

Bubalus bubalis (Ruminantia: Bovidae, Bovinae) is an economically important animal of many Asian countries, making significant contribution to milk and meat production. Sub clinical infection of the reproductive tract is one of the important causes for reduced reproductive efficiency in dairy herd of buffaloes. Antimicrobial peptides are component of innate immune system which helps in augmenti...
