Six apparently healthy, non-lactating and non-pregnant Sahiwal cows and Murrah buffalo each above two years of age were selected to evaluate the effect of seasonal variations on hematological parameters. Blood samples were collected aseptically by jugular vein puncture during peak winter and peak summer seasons. The present investigation revealed the mean values of Hb, PCV, TEC, neutrophils, MC...

A capillary isoelectric focusing (CIEF) method under denaturing condition has been developed for separation of a-keratins, highly cross-linked biomacromolecules, in horns of rhinoceros and buffalo. The a-keratins were denatured in 8 M urea and separated in the presence of ampholytes with applicable pH ranges of 3-7 or 3-10. In the preliminary results, it was demonstrated that the o~-keratins in...

| The study was carried out to examine the pathological lesions in lungs of slaughtered cattle and buffalo carcasses in Chittagong Metropolitan area. A total of 882 (660 cattle and 222 buffalo) were examined in three different slaughterhouse where 128 (14.51%) cases were found with different pathological lesions in lungs. Among 128 (cattle 105 and buffalo 23) cases with lung lesions, the freque...

The objective of the present study was to compare the impact of ovsynch and progesterone-based ovulation synchronization protocol on ovarian response and conception in buffalo (n=19) exhibiting subestrus during low-breeding season (maximum ambient temperatures and relative humidity ranging from 36-45°C and 30-80%, respectively). Group I buffalo (n=10) were administered ovsynch protocol (d 0 and...

To assess the effect of probiotic (having Lactobacillus acidophilus) supplementation on pre-ruminant (0-3 months age) buffalo calves, total eight buffalo calves were divided into two groups of four calves in each with completely randomized design (CRD) according to their body weight. One group was the control while the other group was supplemented with bacteria Lactobacillusacidophilus-containi...

We report a P nuclear magnetic resonance (P-NMR) investigation of buffalo milk, milk ultrafiltrate, and phospholipids from milk fat; for comparison corresponding data were also acquired for cow milk samples. In buffalo milk samples, we identified glycerophosphorylcoline, glycerophosphorylethanolamine and inorganic orthophosphate resonances, together with a broad peak assigned to serylphosphate ...

The aim of the study was to compare the minerals and lactic acid profile of Cheddar cheese prepared from cow and buffalo milk. Milks standardized at 4% fat level were used to prepare Cheddar cheese. The cheese was prepared and stored for 120 days ripening at 4°C. Chemical composition and minerals contents were determined at one month intervals during ripening. Lactic acid concentration was esti...
