“…Considerable parallels exist in uterine gross anatomy between B. taurus, B. bubalis [15] and S. caffer (this study). Caruncular arrangement in S. caffer in two mesometrial and two antimesometrial rows along most parts of the uterine horns and orientation of ovoid caruncles of the non-pregnant uterus in parallel to the longitudinal axis of the uterine horns are in accordance with descriptions in B. taurus [9] and [16] and B. bubalis [17].…”

Histo-morphology of the Uterus and Early Placenta of the African Buffalo (Syncerus caffer) and Comparative Placentome Morphology of the African Buffalo and Cattle (Bos taurus)

Differences exist in reproductive physiology between African buffalo (Syncerus caffer), cattle (Bos taurus) and water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis). The aim of this study was to histo-morphologically compare the anatomy of non-pregnant and pregnant uteri of buffalo and cattle. Two non-pregnant uteri and placentae of six pregnant African buffalo were used. Early placentome formation (fetal crown rump length (CRL): 2-17.5 cm) in S. caffer and B. taurus was compared. The endometrium of buffalo uteri comprises round to ovoid, dome-shaped and gland-free caruncles. A predominantly simple columnar epithelium of non-ciliated cells covers caruncular tissue, while, additionally, ciliated cells occur in the epithelium of the intercaruncular areas and within the simple columnar or pseudostratified epithelium of the endometrial glands. During early gestation, multiple placentomes develop. Unlike the placentomes in cattle at similar CRL, buffalo placentomes do not develop a caruncular stalk. The sessile, dome-shaped buffalo placentome has simple, slightly conical villi branching less than in cattle, thus indicating different and less complex feto-maternal interdigitation than seen in the latter. A synepitheliochorial interhaemal barrier can be expected in the buffalo placenta, as the occurrence and ultrastructure of trophoblast giant cells resemble those described in cattle.

“…Plasma progesterone levels on day 10 offer an important indicator, with progesterone levels elevated in pregnant animals, while remaining low in non-pregnant animals (Kamonpatana et al, 1981). The progesterone test is particularly useful with buffalo as oestrous may be difficult to determine (Dobson and Kamonpatana, 1986).…”

The world's first cloned swamp buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) derived from adult ear skin fibroblast has been reported. Donor fibroblast cells were produced from biopsies taken from adult male ear skin and in vitro matured oocytes obtained from a slaughterhouse were used as cytoplasts. A total of 39 blastocysts and 19 morulae fresh embryos were transferred into 12 recipient buffaloes. Progesterone assays indicated establishment of pregnancy in 10 of the 12 buffaloes (83.3%) after 45 days, with six animals still pregnant at 3 months. One recipient maintained pregnancy to term and naturally delivered a 40 kg male calf after 326 days of gestation. DNA analysis showed that the cloned calf was genetically identical to the donor cells. Genotype analyses, using 12 buffalo microsatellite markers, confirmed that the cloned calf was derived from the donor cell lines. In conclusion, the present study reports, for the first time, the establishment of pregnancy and birth of the first cloned Thai swamp buffalo derived from adult ear skin fibroblast cells.

Effect of supplemental light on growth, prolactin, progesterone and luteinizing hormone in water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)

Data on conception of heifers were obtained within 6 mo of the end of the study.Day-light ambient temperatures and relative humidity generally were > 27 C and < 70%, respectively. Heavy precipitation during the 11th and 12th wk interrupted the drought. S group animals had 5.8% heavier (p < 0.01) BW, 6.1 kg net BW gain (p < 0.01), higher mean Prl (42.6 ± 0.2 vs 40.1 ± 0.2 ng/ml; p < 0.01), a Prl increase (35.5 ± 2.0 ng/ml to 46.0 ± 1.8 ng/ml vs 41.7 ± 2.3 ng/ml to 42.8 ± 2.2 ng/ml; p < 0.01), High rainfall and humidity adversely affected (p < 0.01) BW. The S heifers had a greater rate of weight loss at rainfall above 60 mm than did C heifers. Rainfall had a negative effect on Prl and LH. Further investigations should be conducted to evaluate the optimum age range and environmental characteristics which affect supplemental light administration.
