Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) is caused due to respiratory distress the fetus during or before parturition. As a result of asphyxia, fetal gasping causes meconic amniotic fluid entry into air passages and pulmonary complications, sometimes death newborn. In present study, two cases MAS in murrah buffalo calves born full term by assisted delivery died after few hours were received for routi...

The objective of the present study was to study the effect of zinc supplementation (ZnSO4) on sperm morphometry of the Murrah buffalo bulls. Eight apparently healthy, sexually mature and clinically normal Murrah buffalo bulls of similar body weight and age group (nearly 3.0 to 6.5 years) were randomly divided into two groups: control and ING groups. The Diet for both the groups was the same exc...

The frame size of a buffalo is influenced by several morphometric variables. Large sizes are expected to have more meat than small frames. There many morphological studies swamp in Indonesia, but meta-analysis has never been carried out see the genetic potential based on morphometrics. Data obtained from various publications stored Microsoft Excel. Body length, wither height, and chest girth wa...

Growth hormone, a protein hormone, has a remarkable role in growth, reproduction and milk production. The present investigation was aimed at studying the genetic variation in growth hormone gene locus 4th exon, 4th intron and 5th exon in Murrah buffalo bulls by PCR-RFLP. The growth hormone gene was amplifi ed by PCR using oligonucleotide primers standardized for Bos taurus species. A 428 bp fra...

A seven-year-old, advance pregnant graded Murrah buffalo was presented with sudden onset of profuse salivation, anorexia, severe tympany and generalized discomfort. Palpation revealed enlarged cervical esophageal mass pain gagging reflex. Plain lateral radiography neck showed presence obstructed in lumen. The removed via esophagotomy under deep sedation local infiltration anaesthesia uneventful...

AIM The aim of the present investigation was to optimize the age at first use (AAFU) of semen of Murrah breeding bulls, which will help in early selection of bulls under progeny testing program for improving the reproductive performance in the herd. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data on AAFU, conception rate based on first A.I. (CRFAI), overall conception rate (OCR), and birth weight (B.WT) of 57...

A study was undertaken to investigate the effect of melatonin supplementation on heat shock proteins (HSPs) (HSP 60, HSP70, HSP 90 and 110) expression profile in buffalo calves under summer stress. Twelve healthy Murrah male 6 month 1 year age group were taken for study. Buffalo divided into control (CG) treatment (TG) group. In TG, Melatonin (18mg/50 kg BW) injected subcutaneously, two times a...

Six breeds of riverine buffalo viz. Murrah, Mehsana, Jaffrabadi, Nagpuri, Nili-Ravi and Bhadawari were characterized using FAO-recommended cattle specific microsatellite markers. Among the total of twenty microsatellite markers screened to explore genomic variability of six buffalo breeds, only ten were polymorphic in nature. Four out of ten polymorphic microsatellite loci were rated as informa...

A pluriparus full-term exhausted murrah buffalo aged about 8 years, in its 3rd parity escorted to the TVCC, College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, ANDUAT, Ayodhya, India, with history straining since last 12 h. On per vaginum examination, this case was diagnosed as dystocia because true Schistosoma reflexus. successful per-vaginal management due Schistosomus reflexus monster by tra...

Activation of innate immunity initiates various cascades of reactions that largely contribute to defense against physical, microbial or chemical damage, prompt for damage repair and removal of causative organisms as well as restoration of tissue homeostasis. Genetic polymorphism in innate immune genes plays prominent role in disease resistance capabilities in various breeds of cattle and buffal...
