this study was conducted to evaluate histochemical alterations of river buffalo’s uterine wall acid andalkaline phosphatases (alp and acp), lipase and carbohydrate ratio during follicular and luteal phases.forty apparently healthy and non pregnant river buffalos were considered for removal of the uterus aftersacrifice in slaughterhouse. all dissected uteri were divided into two luteal (by obser...

The sequence of the ribonuclease from the ancestor of swamp buffalo, river buffalo, and ox, corresponding approximately to Pachyporrux lutidem, an extinct ruminant known from the fossil record, has been reconstructed using the rule of ‘maximum parsimony’. This protein and two sequences that may have been intermediates in the evolution of modern ribonuclease have been constructed in the laborato...

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a rapid method with high specificity and efficiency under isothermal condition using a set of four specifically designed primers that recognize six distinct sequences on the target gene. In this study, a LAMP method was developed for specific detection of Babesia orientalis in water buffalo (Bubalus babalis, Linnaeus, 1758). Four primers were des...

DOMESTIC BUFFALOES ARE DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUP BASED ON CYTOGENETIC CHARACTERISTICS AND HABITATS: the "river buffaloes" with 2n = 50 and the "swamp buffaloes", 2n = 48. Nevertheless, their hybrids are viable, fertile and identified by a 2n = 49. In order to have a better characterization of these different cytotypes of buffaloes, and considering that NOR-bearing chromosomes are involved in the r...

Combined sewer overflows (CSOs) negatively affect water quality in urban river and lake systems worldwide by contributing thermally enhanced waters, particulates, and various organic and inorganic contaminants. Cities that utilize CSOs must reassess aging sewer systems or minimize the impact overflows have on water quality. The Buffalo River, which drains into northeastern Lake Erie, receives c...

In situ hybridization technique was applied using a tritiated (3H) bovine IFNG cDNA probe to regionally localize the gene on river and swamp buffalo chromosomes. The hybridization signals peaked on the 4q23-->q26 bands in river buffaloes and on the 1p24-->p26 bands in swamp buffaloes. The results are compared to the localization of the same gene in cattle. Possible evolutionary conservation in ...

The water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is considered an efficient converter of poor quality forages into high quality milk and meat. This species is ubiquitous, with prevalence though in Asian and Mediterranean countries. From a genetic standpoint, the species is characterized by two main subspecies: river and swamp type. The former to be found predominantly in Mediterranean countries, whereas the...

The buffalo is an important livestock resource in several countries of South Asia and the Mediterranean regions. However, reproductive efficiency is compromised due to known problems of biological and management origins, such as lack of animal selection and poor nutrition. Under optimal conditions puberty is attained at 15 to 18 months in river buffalo, 21 to 24 months in swamp buffalo and is i...

This study was conducted to investigate the scenario of buffalo production and reproduction under different farming systems at Subarno Char, in the coastal area of Bangladesh. A total of 14 farms were randomly selected and studied for various traits live weight (LW); daily milk yield (DMY); lactation length (LL); lactation production (LP); calving interval (CI); gestation length (GL); post part...
