The aim of the present study was to explore relationship between feeding patterns and milk production Bubalus bubalis (Buffaloes) using Geographic Information System (GIS). A total 919 buffaloes from 38 dairy farms Kasur, Punjab, Pakistan were included in this study. Milk per annum for grazing, non-grazing partial grazing category B. recorded with a minimum value 1808, 1856 1780 liters, ...

AIM This study was designed for clinical and laboratory evaluation of intestinal obstruction (IO) in buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) with special emphasis on the diagnostic value of ultrasonographic findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total number of 30 buffaloes were included in the study and divided into 2 groups: Healthy (n=10) and diseased group (n=20). Diseased buffaloes were admitted to the V...

Plasma concentrations of LH, progesterone and oestradiol were measured in 5 cyclic swamp buffaloes. Progesterone levels began to increase after Day 5 (Day 0 = the day of oestrus) and reached a plateau after Day 10. A rapid decrease in progesterone levels occurred during the 5 days before oestrus, followed by a sustained increase in oestradiol concentrations. Basal LH levels decreased towards th...

Serum progesterone and estradiol-17β levels were estimated in Nili Ravi buffaloes (n=190) with and without fetal membranes retention in three agro-ecological zones of Punjab. The results showed that serum progesterone concentration was significantly higher (P<0.05) in buffaloes with retention of fetal membranes (RFM) compared to buffaloes without retention of fetal membranes (NRFM). The compari...

The water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is an important natural host for Neospora caninum. Serologic responses to N. caninum were studied in experimentally and naturally infected water buffaloes in Brazil. Antibodies were assayed by the indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) using a cut off value of 1:25. Six buffaloes were each inoculated subcutaneously with 5 x 10(6) live culture-derived tachy...

This study aimed to describe the normal ultrasonographic image of the gastrointestinal tract and spleen in Egyptian buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis). The obtained results were compared to the normal reference values that had been previously established in cattle. This study was carried out on thirty healthy buffalo. Complete clinical examination, hematological pictures profiling, blood biochemical a...
