https://kuojs.lib.ku.ac.th/index.php/BufBu/article/view/3982
<p>This study was conducted to determine the effects of the dam’s milk yield and composition on birth weight, 6-month, and 12-month live weight (LW) of Anatolian buffalo calves born in 2017 and 2018 years in Çorum province, Türkiye. Calving age had a significant impact on daily milk yield (DMY) (P=0.031), lactation milk yield (LMY) (P=0.048) and solids-not-fat (SNF) (P=0.034). DMY (P=0.022) and fat content (P=0.005) were affacted by calving season. Suckling period and calf sex had no significant impact (P>0.05) on DMY, LMY, fat content, and solids-not-fat (SNF) (P>0.05). The dam’s calving age had a significant impact on birth weight (P=0.029), except for 6-month and 12-month live weight (LW). Calving season affected 6-month (P=0.002) and 12-month LW (P=0.012) without birth weight. The suckling period and calf sex were not significantly affected on the birth weight, 6-month, and 12-month LWs (P>0.05).</p> <p>The highest 6-month LW (P=0.025) was determined in the calves of high DMY buffaloes (>6.50 kg). The DMY of the dam had no effect on the birth weight and 12-month LWs (P>0.05). The calves of buffaloes with the highest LMY (>1300 kg) were observed the highest birth weight (P=0.040) and 6-month LW (P=0.046). The dam’s fat and SNF content had no effect on the birth weight, 6-month, and 12-month LWs. To conclude; “higher milk yield resulted in higher birth weight” means that better dams give better calves, suggesting that buffalo keepers should feed buffalo cows sufficiently to get heavier calves at least. </p>Özlem AkkulakErtuğrul Kul

https://kuojs.lib.ku.ac.th/index.php/BufBu/article/view/3987
<p>The current investigation was conducted on one hundred and eighty Murrah buffalo male calves from the age of one to thirty months, to investigate the correlation of age with body weight and testicular biometry. Six animals were included in each month. The body weight (b. wt) of the male calves was recorded on the weight bridge balance and the circumference of scrotum was measured by inch tape. The testicular dimensions were measured ultasonographically. Mean body weight from one to thirty month ranged between 57.0±1.99 and 433.0±9.81 kg. It increased 12.52 kg per month. The mean testicular circumference at 1, 12, 18 and 30 months was 9.00±00, 20.25±0.64, 21.42±0.64 and 26.67±0.42 cm, respectively. The overall increase in testicular circumference from one to thirty months was 0.59 cm per month. The mean length of right testes at one month was 2.89±0.15 cm and at eighteenth month was 6.87±0.27 cm. It increased in parallel pattern with b.wt and age. The width of right testes ranged between 1.01±0.05 to 4.53±0.211 cm. The length of left testes from one to eighteen month ranged between 2.73±0.19 to 6.49±0.10 cm with an increase of 0.21 cm per month. Similarly, the mean width of left testes ranged between 1.12±0.02 to 4.61±0.17 cm and significantly increased 0.12 cm/month. The data obtained in the current extensive study may serve as reference values for Murrah buffalo bulls.</p>Lal Chand RangaRamesh Kumar ChandoliaLaxman SinghRavi Dutt

https://kuojs.lib.ku.ac.th/index.php/BufBu/article/view/3989
<p>The aim of this study was to determine the presence of <em>Chlamydia</em> spp. in a dual-purpose zebu and water buffalo-mixed herd cohabitating in a ranch located in southern Mexico. The zootechnical purpose of this herd is milk and cheese production. A total of 52 vaginal exudate samples were obtained from clinically healthy water buffaloes, less than one month after parturition, and two vaginal exudate samples were taken from cows that had recently aborted. L929 cells were used for bacterial isolation. Two of these cultures were infected, confirmed by direct immunofluorescence. Total DNA was extracted for analysis with two types of real-time PCR, a <em>Chlamydiaceae</em>-specific real-time PCR and another species-specific real-time PCR for <em>C. abortus, C. psittaci</em> and <em>C. pecorum</em>. Two <em>Chlamydia</em> isolates were obtained, one from a water buffalo positive to <em>C. abortus</em> and <em>C. pecorum</em>, the other from a cow positive to <em>C. abortus. </em>This is the first report of the presence of <em>C. abortus</em> and <em>C. pecorum</em> in water buffaloes in Mexico. <em>C. abortus</em> was also detected in one cow living in the same herd as the water buffaloes.</p>Magdalena Limón-GonzálezRigoberto Hernández-CastroGabriela Palomares ReséndizEnrique Herrera LópezEfrén Díaz Aparicio

https://kuojs.lib.ku.ac.th/index.php/BufBu/article/view/4314
<p><em>Haematobia exigua, </em>the buffalo fly, is a common ectoparasite of buffaloes and cattle in India causing economic losses and underlines the necessity of effective control strategies against them. The present study was planned to evaluate larvicidal activity of few methods for physical and biological control for integarated management of <em>Haematobia exigua</em> flies. Out of four bacterial bio-control agents evaluated by <em>in-vitro</em> assay and Probit analysis, two bacteria i. e. <em>Bacillus thuringiensis </em>var<em> israelensis </em>and<em> Bacillus thuringiensis </em>var<em> kurstaki </em>showed excellent larvicidal activity against <em>H. exigua </em>with LC<sub>50 </sub>value of 134 and 135 mg per liter of water respectively. Whereas, other two bacteria i. e. <em>Bacillus weihenstephanensis</em> WSBC and KBAB4 failed to show desired larvicidal activity. It can be concluded that <em>B ti</em> and <em>B tk</em> have future as effective bacterial agents (BCAs) in the control and integrated management of buffalo and horn fly. An experiment was conducted in the laboratory and on field for judging the efficacy of a physical method of tightly covering dung pats with polythene sheet for control of larvae of <em>H. exigua. </em>The laboratory result showed only 14.73% larvae were survived and developed per 100 gm of the faeces in the pot covered with polythene sheet as against significantly higher number 78.33% in the control group. During field trial, average larval count from dung pits before the experiment was 86.33 per 250 gm of faeces and it has been significantly reduced to 11.80 after covered with polythene sheets for two weeks. It indicated that physical method of covering the dung pits works immensely and thus can be inducted in IPM program as one of the effective physical control alternatives.</p>Jagdish GudewarBabasaheb NarladkarSantosh MoregaonkarGajanan Chigure

https://kuojs.lib.ku.ac.th/index.php/BufBu/article/view/4454
<p>This study was aimed to decipher the inter-relationship peripheral hormones [Insulin-like growth hormone (IGF-1), testosterone and growth hormone] with body weight, body condition score and scrotal circumfermnce across age-groups in male buffalo. Male buffalo (n=20) of different age groups viz. Group 1 (0 to 8 months), 2 (9 to 16 months), 3 (17 to 24 months) and 4 (25 to 32 months) were selected and Blood was collected along with body weight, body condition score and scrotal circumference. Significant difference (P<0.05) in the body weight, body condition core and scrotal circumference was observed between the groups. Peripheral IGF-1 level increased with age, highest in Group 4 (202.4±9.36 ng/ml). Similarly, testosterone was different between Group 1, 2 and 4, highest in Group 4 (1.73±0.02 ng/ml). Growth hormone, differed (P<0.05) between Group 1 (3.65±0.50 ng/ml), Group 3 (3.65±0.50 ng/ml) and Group 4 (8.56±1.96 ng/ml). Postive correlation (P<0.05) between various parameters (body weight, body condition score and scrotal circumference, testosterone and growth hormone) was observed. In conclusion, this study reports the age-related variations and inter-relationships of peripheral hormones with body weight, body condition score and scrotal circumference in male buffalo.</p>Amit KumarGyan SinghJerome AndonissamyPradeep KumarArjun VenkateshappaRenu BalaNisha VermaChandra Shekhar PatilRakesh Kumar Sharma

2023-12-312023-12-3142446747710.56825/bufbu.2023.4244454Comparison of ultrasonographic measures of reproductive tract in Thai swamp buffalo heifers and cows
https://kuojs.lib.ku.ac.th/index.php/BufBu/article/view/5554
<p>Although artificial insemination (AI) technology is widely used in buffalo breeding in Thailand, AI in buffaloes has a lower conception rate compared to AI in beef cattle. It is crucial to understand the development of the ovary and reproductive system of buffalo heifers and cows. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the reproductive tract characteristic using ultrasound measurements during the luteal and follicular phases in Thai swamp buffalo heifers and cows. The studies of reproductive tract were conducted in buffalo cows (n=8; BCS=3.38) and heifers (n=8; BCS=3.25). The reproductive tract was evaluated by measuring the size of the ovary, dominant follicle, CL, uterine horn, cervix, and vulva. The buffalo cows had larger diameter of the cervix and vulvar width (P<0.05) compared with those of heifers. In the follicular phase, buffalo cows had a mean ovarian diameter (ipsilateral POF) of 2.35 cm, and heifers had a mean ovarian diameter of 2.24 cm (P>0.05). The average preovulatory follicle diameter was 1.29 cm in buffalo cows and 1.18 cm in heifers (P>0.05). In the luteal phase, the mean ovarian diameter (ipsilateral CL) of buffalo cows was significantly larger than heifers (P<0.05; 2.46 vs. 2.09 cm, respectively). The diameters of the CL in buffalo heifers and cows were 1.27 and 1.47 cm, respectively (P>0.05). Buffalo cows and heifers have no differences in ovarian components in the follicular and luteal phases, but there are differences in the size of the reproductive tract, which reproductive tract of buffalo cows is larger than heifers.</p>Sutisa MajaruneWisut MaitreejetPumrapee TanjaichonArthit PanyasakChakrit BorirakTaweeporn RaungprimAnuchai PinyopumminSukanya Rattanatabtimtong

https://kuojs.lib.ku.ac.th/index.php/BufBu/article/view/3808
<p>The present study was aimed to assess the type and prevalence of gross and microscopic lesions in ovaries of buffaloes obtained from abattoir. The prevalence of abnormalities of uterus were highest (17.02%; 181 samples) followed by ovaries (7.98%; 85 samples) among ten different types of anatomic abnormalities with overall prevalence of 29.83% (317/1062). Among the 85 ovarian lesions, the most observed lesions were sub active ovaries (34.11%), par ovarian cyst (20%), ovarobursal adhesion (20%), and cystic ovary (20%).</p> <p>To decipher ovarian hypofunction and other abnormalities, per-rectal examination and transrectal ultrasonography is used with variable degree of success to diagnose unilateral small sized pathological affections. In addition to visualize reproductive organs, ultrasonography also helpful to assess morphotype, localization, number, and size as well as shape of internal formations. The project sought to procure basic data for further investigation that would enable providing scientific support for methods to boost production through full utilization of the bubaline genetic potential.</p>Sushant SrivastavaVijay GautamPushkar SharmaSaurabh VermaRajesh KumarRabindra Kumar

https://kuojs.lib.ku.ac.th/index.php/BufBu/article/view/4312
<p>The aim of this study to assess the biometric parameters of abattoir derived testicles of Murrah buffalo bull. Thirty-six pair of Murrah buffalo bull testicles were collected immediately after slaughter from different abattoir, packed in ice chest (4oC) and transferred to DFS Laboratory, College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Ayodhya, UP, India. The tests were processed within six hours of collection. Various biometric parameters testes (testicular length, circumference, diameter, volume, and weight) epididymis (weight, length and width of caput and corpus as well as length and circumference of cauda) was measured. The epididymal semen was harvested and measured; Volume (0.43±0.02 to 0.52±0.05 ml), concentration (1708±105.2 to 1958±126.8 million/ml) and total sperm output (804.2±30.73 to 931.7±103.2 million) was estimated. All biometric parameters were significantly higher in left testicles than those of right contemporaries. Present findings suggest that aforementioned biometric parameters can be used to judge the normality of testis, furthermore, epididymal semen can be harvested from meritorious Murrah buffalo bulls with sudden or unexpected death.</p>Kumar AshotoshSushant SrivastavaRajesh KumarPramod Kumar

https://kuojs.lib.ku.ac.th/index.php/BufBu/article/view/3937
<p>The aim of current study is to check the health status and the quality of milk by counting somatic cells. Total 50 samples of fresh raw buffalo milk were gathered and divided into five groups on the basis of lactation stages i.e early, mid, late, buffalo at parturition and post parturition (colostrum). Fresh samples were collected and assessed with quality assessment test i.e. pH analysis, lactometer reading test, clots on boiling (COB), alcohol precipitate test (APT) and acidity % age test and the somatic cell count (SCC) through Neubauer chamber under light microscope. Data were evaluated by the stage of lactation with the SPSS programme. The total mean values of pH, Lr and acidity % at each lactation stages were (±6.96, ±31 and ±0.19). Significant effect of SCC on different stages were observed (P<0.05). The average SCC was determined to be 10.1000±5.8121 cells/ml. The effects lactation stages on the SCC value between group were statistically significant (P<0.05). The mean SCC values for early, mid, late, parturition and post parturition stages were (±6.4750, ±5.7500, ±10.8750, ±16.2750 and ±11.1250). The significant differences recognized between the groups indicates that there is a fluctuation of somatic cells at different lactation stages. The number of somatic cells increase from early stage, then decrease gradually in mid stage and starts increasing till the end of lactation and have no significant difference (P<0.05), whereas the mean comparison is highly significant in parturition and colostrum stage.</p>Samreen RanaAneesa SohailSalman SaeedMisbah MushtaqMubasher HassanAbdul AhadSyed Zeeshan Haider Naqvi

https://kuojs.lib.ku.ac.th/index.php/BufBu/article/view/4269
<p>The present study was conducted to evaluate two <em>S. aureus</em> vaccines in 100 mastitis free lactating buffaloes, dividing into 2 equal groups (B<sub>1</sub>, B<sub>2</sub>). The animals of B<sub>1</sub> and B<sub>2</sub> were administered with 2 shots of live attenuated and Dextran sulphate adjuvanted <em>S. aureus</em> vaccine at 15 days sequentially. The evaluation was done with different parameters i.e., serum and whey antibody titers, somatic cell count, milk fat %, milk protein, milk yield, vaccine efficacy, cost-benefit analysis, and colony count. There was a peak of geometric mean antibody titer 291 and 58 in LSAV while its climax 363 and 90 in DSAV at 2 and 6 months of study. In whey this level almost remained the same in both groups. In B<sub>1 </sub>and B<sub>2</sub>, somatic cell count kept on decreasing from day zero to the end of study. There was a non-significant difference in milk yield and fat percentage between the 2 groups. Milk protein concentration was significantly different between these groups and was better in B<sub>1</sub> than B<sub>2</sub>. The surf field mastitis test-based quarter point prevalence decreased at 180 days in LASV and DSAV. In California mastitis test based, a significant decreased value was shown in both groups. Pre-vaccination and post-vaccination colony count of <em>S. aureus</em> was more in LSAV than in DSAV. Moreover, the preventative efficacy and cost benefit ratio of DSAV was more excellent as compared to LSAV.</p> <p> </p>Muhammad KashifAmar NasirMuhammad RizwanAsghar HussainUasman WaheedAziz -ur-RehmanArbab SikandarKhizer Muhammad Khizer Aziz

https://kuojs.lib.ku.ac.th/index.php/BufBu/article/view/5440
<p>The article presents the results of studying the karyotype of the Ukrainian buffalo population. With the help of routine and GTG methods of analysis of metaphase plates of chromosomes, it was established that in the studied animals the diploid chromosome set was equal to fifty chromosomes (2n=50), which consisted of 5 pairs of meta- and submetacentric and 19 pairs of acrocentric autosomes and one pair (XX) or (XY) sex chromosomes. The total number of chromosome arms (FN) was 60, which correspond to animals of the water buffalo species (<em>Bubalus bubalis</em>), a subspecies of the river buffalo (<em>B. b. Bubalis</em>). Cytogenetic control revealed wide intraspecies limits of spontaneous somatic mutagenesis: absence of constitutive chromosomal disorders; the frequency of metaphases with aneuploidy, the average value (M±m) of which was equal to 10.5±0.13%, polyploidy (M±m=0.7±0.25%), asynchronous separation of the centromeric regions of chromosomes - (M±m=5.3±2.00), chromosomal breaks (M±m=0.7±0.24%), the proportion of cells with micronuclei (M±m=2.5±0.39‰), binucleated cells (M±m=2.6±0.32‰) and mitotic index (M±m=4.8±0.65‰). It has been established that Ukrainian river buffaloes are characterized by high karyotype stability.</p>Lyubov StarodubNataliia Mokhnachova

2023-12-312023-12-3142459760410.56825/bufbu.2023.4245440The changing role of water buffalo in rural Vietnam
https://kuojs.lib.ku.ac.th/index.php/BufBu/article/view/4195
<p>Vietnam is rapidly industrializing, and many of the rural agriculturally-based communities in the periphery are no exception. On the flatter lands around Hanoi and more heavily populated areas in some of the provinces to north of the capital for example, the gasoline powered tractor is replacing the labour of the water buffalo. Additionally, as the population demands more meat in its diet, water buffalo are now raised for human consumption, often in pens, rather than for power needed for agricultural cultivation. Indeed, as in the case of Chiem Hoa district in the Tuyen Quang province, what was once the plough has become a marketable and commodified brand of meat. Stated otherwise, an animal that was once common-place, interacted with daily, prized for its intelligence, decried for its stubbornness, and was considered by many across the countryside as another working member of the family, now seems somewhat exotic or has been reduced to simply another source of consumable protein.</p> <p>This chapter centres the water buffalo as a living framework to explore the complex social, cultural, environmental, and economic histories of the people of Chiem Hoa district in the Tuyen Quang province and by inference rural Vietnam. While the trope of economic progression dominates the academic literatures of rural development, this study focuses on structural changes in the economy notwithstanding. This present that agriculture in Vietnam is mechanizing and industrializing, and as it does generations of shared history between rural people and their most valued animal is being altered forever.</p>Rebecca ChungLe Minh TuNguyen Quang TinhNguyen Thi Minh ChauKieu Thi Thu HươngNguyen Thi Huong GiangDinh Hong LinhAaron Kingsbury

https://kuojs.lib.ku.ac.th/index.php/BufBu/article/view/4266
<p>The minor surgical intervention and safe restraining requires sedation and analgesia especially in furious animals like buffaloes which can be achieved by using proper combination of sedative and analgesic drugs. The combination of xylazine with opioids is an effective way to achieve sedation and analgesia in cattle and horses. Six apparently healthy buffaloes having minor wounds were included in the present study. The sedation was accomplished by fentanyl (5 µg per kg b.wt) plus xylazine (0.05 mg per kg b.wt) intravenously. Physiological, hematobiochemical and electrocardiographic parameters were observed at different time interval after the administration of drugs. Following the administration of medicine, there was a significant reduction in heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial blood pressure, hemoglobin, and packed cell volume. Respiration rate increased significantly at 30 minutes interval. PR interval and QT interval increased significantly at 20 minutes and 15 minutes respectively of the observation period, whereas a significant increase in the duration of ST segment was noticed from 15 minutes to 30 minutes. The present study revealed that the drug combination has no deleterious effects on cardiopulmonary, hematobiochemical and physiological parameters during the observation period.</p>Gyan Dev SinghAnil GattaniAjeet KumarAnil Kumar

https://kuojs.lib.ku.ac.th/index.php/BufBu/article/view/4792
<p>Uterine torsion is a common obstetrical emergency in buffaloes. It is termed as the rotation of uterus around its longitudinal axis. The incidence of uterine torsion is very common in buffaloes in the advance stage of gestation. Parturition is the most important event in the lifetime of buffalo. Uterine torsion results in unsuccessful parturition which might be associated with the death of fetus in the late gestation. This review discusses about the definition, types, incidence, etiology, hematological changes, biochemical changes, treatment, and management of uterine torsion.</p>Rishipal YadavPooja YadavGyan Singh
