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)...

Present study was undertaken in buffalo neonates born to vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocopherol acetate) -supplemented and non-supplemented Murrah buffaloes. Calves from vitamin E-supplemented buffaloes [n= 10; VeC (vitamin E-supplemented calves)] and non-supplemented buffaloes [n= 10; CC (control calves)] constituted the treatment and control groups respectively. Sampling of blood was done on day 0 (b...

Twelve healthy lactating Murrah buffaloes of similar parity (3rd) between 90 and 120 days of lactation, selected from the herd of National Dairy Research Institute (Karnal, India) and maintained at managemental practices as followed at the Institute they were included in this experiment. The animals were divided into two groups based on their production level in previous lactation. The average ...

Present study was carried out on forty four apparently healthy Murrah buffaloes of different age groups of both sexes to investigate the effects of sex steroids on cell mediated immunity in vitro. Estrogen inhibited proliferation in mitogen-stimulated lymphocytes from prepubertal but not post pubertal buffaloes of either sex. Estrogen at 100 pg/mL concentration stimulating the proliferation sig...

Staphylococcus aureus has been reported as a major pathogen in dairy animals. The pathogenic potential of S. aureus isolates is attributed to a combination of extracellular factors and invasive properties that are controlled at the genomic level. In order to elucidate patterns of pathogenic genes, 346 isolates of S. aureus were recovered from Sahiwal, Karan Fries (cattles) and Murrah (buffalo) ...

This study investigates the effects of supplementation basal diet with concentrate and rumen bypass fat on dry matter intake (DMI), growth performance, blood metabolites hormonal changes, feeding cost feedlot water buffaloes. Thirty-six healthy, three- to four-month-old male Murrah crossbred (n = 18) Swamp buffaloes a similar average initial body weight 98.64 ± 1.93 kg were each randomly alloca...

The body conformation traits, which support higher production and longer productive life are very important to breed future dairy buffaloes. Bayesian multiple-trait analysis was performed in biometric traits of Murrah buffaloes estimate the (co)variance components using an animal model Gibbs sampling. included fixed effects parity, season calving, period age group at time recording traits. Rand...
