Abstract:
... The growing global population and rising demand for meat increasingly pressures the world's resources. Edible insects are a promising alternative protein source to unsustainable conventional meat. Despite this, disgust and neophobia are cited as significant barriers to the adoption of these novel foods in Western diets. The primary aim of this study was to assess the effects of providing three typ ...
... The current study aimed to investigate the monitoring behaviors of the NEDAP system in buffaloes, to evaluate the validation, accuracy, and precision over visual observation and video recording. The NEDAP neck and leg tags were attached on the left side of the neck and left front leg of multiparous dairy buffaloes (n = 30). The feeding, rumination, lying, and standing behaviors were monitored by t ...

Abstract:
... Granulosa cells (GCs) play a crucial role in follicular development and atresia. Previous studies have showed that GCs in the form of monolayer influenced in vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes. However, the effects of GCs in the form of conditioned medium and monolayer on IVM and development competence of buffalo oocytes remain unclear. In the present study, we examined the impacts of GC‐conditione ...

Abstract:
... In Pakistan, theileriosis is the main hemoparasitic disease in large and small ruminants. The present one-year study from Oct 2017 to Sep 2018 was designed to calculate the prevalence and risk factors associated with theileriosis in livestock of ten areas of Malakand Division. A total of 1437 blood samples (n = 240 sheep, n = 658 cow, n = 340 buffalo, n = 199 goat) were collected. The overall prev ...

Abstract:
... Milk and derivatives are a very important part in the diet of the world population. Products from goat, buffalo, and sheep species have a greater economic value than the cow ones, therefore, authenticity frauds by improperly adding cow's milk occur frequently: dairy products are among the seven more attractive foods for adulteration. Milk from each of the above‐cited animal species has its own def ...

Abstract:
... The current study aimed at estimating the direct (condemned offal) and indirect (meat, milk, and fecundity losses) production losses due to cystic echinococcosis (CE) in water buffaloes in Turkey. A spreadsheet loss model was constructed, and the mean prevalence ratio of CE was accepted as 3.8% in male and 21.7% in female buffaloes. The annual financial losses were estimated with official and prev ...

Abstract:
... Buffalos are increasingly used for milk production, but milking them is challenging due to their temperament and strong cow-calf relationship. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the milking behaviours and temperament score in Anatolian buffaloes and the effects of milking temperament score on the milking traits of cows. The study was performed on 43 lactating primiparous and mu ...
... The aim of the present study was to understand the role of Wnt signal in ovarian oestradiol synthesis in various size categories of ovarian follicles. A six‐day cell culture system was adopted to test the effect of a Wnt inhibitor i.e. Inhibitor of Wnt response (IWR) on the ovarian granulosa cell oestradiol synthesis and associated genes related to oestradiol synthesis and Wnt signalling (CYP19A1, ...
