The present investigation was focused to study genomic diversity of Indian swamp buffalo populations through reduced representation approach (ddRAD). The heterozygosity (F) among the swamp buffaloes was 0.11 between Assam and Manipuri; 0.20 between swamp (Manipuri) and riverine buffaloes; 0.30 between swamp (Manipuri) and cattle. The average observed and expected heterozygosity in swamp buffalo populations was 0.254 and 0.221 respectively. The Inbreeding coefficient (F) value was 0.02 among the swamp buffaloes. PCA and structure analysis revealed Manipuri swamp buffalo was genetically distinct and closely related to Nagaland swamp buffalo and least to Assam swamp buffalo. Identification of selective sweeps revealed 1087 regions to have undergone selection related to immune response, adaptation and nervous system. A total of 3451 SSRs were identified in the genome of swamp buffaloes. The study evidenced the genomic diversity in the swamp buffalo populations and its uniqueness in comparison with riverine buffalo and cattle.

The people of New York have long benefited from the state's diversity of ecosystems, which range from coastal shorelines and wetlands to extensive forests and mountaintop alpine habitat, and from lakes and rivers to greenspaces in heavily populated urban areas. These ecosystems provide key services such as food, water, forest products, flood prevention, carbon storage, climate moderation, recreational opportunities, and other cultural services. This chapter examines how changes in climatic conditions across the state are affecting different types of ecosystems and the services they provide, and considers likely future impacts of projected climate change.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers sequenced 470 genomes of domesticated river and swamp buffaloes and their wild ancestors to investigate the genetic factors influencing domestication and productivity in Asian water buffaloes.* -
  • Wild swamp buffaloes maintain ancestral morphology, while river buffaloes show distinct traits, yet both have genomes that align closely with wild counterparts; genetic diversity varies significantly across regions.* -
  • Key findings indicate that artificial selection has led to significant genetic adaptations in traits like reproduction, milk production, and coat color, highlighting how domestication affects evolutionary changes in these animals.*

Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of using multivitamins in different estrus synchronization hormone protocols on estrus response, estrus onset, estrus duration, estrus intensity, and pregnancy rate in swamp buffalo.

Materials And Methods: This study used 30 post-partum adult buffalo, with three estrus synchronization methods treated: 1. Conventional plus Prostaglandin F2 α (PGF2α-PGF2α + multivitamin)-AI; 2.

Background: Indigenous buffaloes, as the important livestock species contributing to economy of the country, are the lifeline of livelihood in Nepal. They are distributed across diverse geographical regions of the country and have adapted to various feeding, breeding, and management conditions. The larger group of these native buffalo breeds are present in narrow and stiff hilly terrains.
