Aim: The present study was carried out to examine the relationships among frozen-thawed semen fertility, physical parameters, seminal quality, and testosterone concentration in Murrah buffalo bulls. Materials and Methods: A total of 30 breeding Murrah buffalo bulls (either progeny tested or under progeny testing program) were randomly selected from two government bull farms in Punjab. None of t...

This study compared the composition, yield, and freezing point of buffalo colostrum milk collected on 30th, 60th, 90th day lactation from purebred Murrah its crosses with Philippine Carabao. A total 133 samples were 36 buffaloes (20 16 “Murrah x Carabao” crosses) evaluated for fat, protein, lactose content, solids non-fat (SNF), solids, point. Colostrum contained significantly (p<0.05) more ...

Murrah is a predominant milch breed of buffalo in India with superior genetic potential for milk production. Estimation parameters production and reproduction traits prerequisite making breeding plan efficient management decisions. This work was undertaken to understand the influence on performance by various factors (genetic non-genetic) along assessment buffaloes. The were figured using mixed...

The present investigation was undertaken to estimate the effect of non-genetic factors on different production traits Murrah buffaloes maintained at Buffalo Research Centre, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, India. A total 1128 lactation records 326 buffalo were targeted explore factors. considered for study yield (LY), length (LL), 305 days milk (305 MY), peak (PY)...

We carried out this study to assess the quality of semen regarding seasonal and geographical variability Murrah buffalo breeding bull in Nepal. aimed access seme n murrah considering help standardize producing protocol concern. A total eight bulls were used. Semen collection was done at once week two ejaculations considered an interval 30 minutes during Summer (June August), Autumn (September N...

BACKGROUND Buffaloes are silent heat animals and lacunae in their estrus detection results a substantial economic loss in developing countries. Many advanced tools to aid heat detection have been developed but are neither affordable nor easily interpretable by marginal farmers. AIM The present investigation was made to develop a cost-effective estrus detection model by combining several known...

Previous studies suggested a close relationship between ruminant gut microbes and the mammary gland. In this study, shotgun metagenomic sequencing was used to reveal the differences in the intestinal microbiome potentially related to milk components in Murrah buffaloes and Chinese Holstein cattle. A PCoA based on the weighted Unifrac distances showed an apparent clustering pattern in the struct...

The data pertaining to variable production and reproduction traits of Murrah buffaloes (1980 lactation records of 698 Murrah buffaloes) were collected from the Central Cattle Breeding Farm, Alamadhi, Tamil Nadu, India. The overall leastsquares means (± SE) for peak yield, days to attain peak yield, 305-day milk yield, lactation length, lactation milk yield, service period, calving interval and ...
