The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth curve of 525 monthly body weight data of 19 males (n=313) and 8 females (n=212) swamp buffaloes (Bubalus b. carabanensis), from birth to slaughter age (25 months). The nonlinear models used were: logistic, Gompertz, Von Bertalanffy and Brody. The parameters were estimated by NLIN procedure, and the criteria used to evaluate the adjustment given by the models were Akaike’s information criterion (AIC), Bayesian information criterion (BIC) and coefficient of determination (R2). The results indicated that the better fit of Brody model than the Logistic, Gompertz, and Von Bertalanffy models to our data. The parameters estimate for Brody model [WT = α * (1-βe-k*AGE)] were α = 902.00±45.9912, β = 0,9727±0.0089, k = 0.0483±0.0044, R2 = 0.9748. The estimation of birth and slaughter weights were 24.6596±8.8367 and 639.6467 6.4019 kg, respectively as well as the maturation rate (k) to achieve the mature weigh (α) of 902.00±45.9912 kg was 0.0483±0.0044. Growth curve of weight vs. age of swamp buffalo rearing under intensive system from birth to 25 months old adjusted to the Brody nonlinear model showed growth in a sigmoid-curve model and more accurate in expecting the birth weight of these animals.

Native Sikkimese yak in Sikkim state of India is a pastoral treasure being raised through centuries-old transhumance practices and has evolved in response to natural and man-made selection. Currently, the population of Sikkimese yak is at risk with about ve thousand total headcounts. Characterization is essential for taking appropriate decisions for conservation of any endangered population. In an attempt to characterize the Sikkimese yaks, this study recorded phenotypic morphometric traits information viz. body length (LG), Height at withers (HT), Heart Girth (HG), Paunch Girth (PG), Horn Length (HL), Horn Circumference (HC), Distance between Horns (DbH), Ear Length (EL), Face Length (FL), Face Width (FW) and Tail Length with Switch (TL) on 2154 yaks of both sexes. Multivariate approach used to analyze the recorded data revealed high positive correlations between HG and PG in both the sexes and three principal components (PCs) were found to explain more than 70 percent of the population variance cumulatively. Subsequently, discriminant analysis indicated an overall genetic uniformity within Sikkimese yak population. Phenotypic characterization of Sikkimese yaks can further pave the way for preparing future conservation strategy.
