“…In the current study, the daily milk yield was improved by antioxidant supplementation (SOD, Zn, and Se). These results agree with findings by Singh et al [ 30 ], who found that the antioxidant supplementation (Cu, Zn, and vitamins A and E) improved milk production in buffaloes. Moreover, Kantwa et al [ 36 ] and Tanwar et al [ 37 ] reported a significant increase in the milk yield of buffaloes supplemented with chelated mineral mixture.…”

“…Milk somatic cell count and milk somatic cell score were not affected by the antioxidant treatment, as already reported in other studies [ 30 , 31 , 38 ]. Somatic cell count was lower than the values reported by Tripaldi et al [ 45 ] (314 × 10 3 cells/mL) and by Pasquini et al [ 48 ] for buffaloes bred in the Marche region (from 152.84 ± 25.22 to 199.73 ± 23.43 × 10 3 cells/mL) and was higher compared with mid-lactating Murrah buffaloes in India [ 34 ].…”

“…The results of the present study showed that antioxidant supplementation, SOD, Zn, and Se, in the diet of lactating buffaloes positively influenced milk yield and improved the milk clotting properties (MCP). The addition of an organic source of mineral antioxidant supplement did not affect dry matter intake, as well as in other studies carried out in buffaloes [ 30 ] and in dairy cows [ 16 ], and it had no effect on the chemical characteristics of the milk.…”

“…In contrast, De Andrade et al [ 44 ] reported that Se supplementation reduced SCC, fat, and protein percentages in buffalo milk. In a study by Singh et al [ 30 ], supplementation of antioxidant micronutrients in buffaloes improved milk fat and protein content and had no effect on the lactose content.…”

Buffaloes are raised mainly to obtain milk that is nutritionally very rich. The technological characteristics of buffalo milk are optimal for processing into cheese, and it is mainly used to produce mozzarella cheese. Under stressful conditions, buffaloes, like other animals, produce milk qualitatively poorly. The stressors that can affect the quality of production are, in addition to other factors, deficiencies in nutrients such as vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals. In this study, we evaluated the effect of antioxidant supplementation on the quality of buffalo milk. Sixty-six buffaloes were enrolled and subdivided into two balanced groups of 33 each. The ZnSe group received 0.2 kg/head/day of Bufalo Plus® containing antioxidants and barley meal, CaCO3 and MgCO3 mix; the control group was supplemented with 0.2 kg/head/day of barley meal, CaCO3 and MgCO3 mix. The two groups were fed ad libitum with a total mixed ration (TMR). The amount of diet distributed was recorded daily, and the residue in the trough manger was recorded three times per week. TMR samples were taken every two weeks for each group. Daily milk yield was recorded twice a week. Milk samples were collected every four weeks and analysed for chemical and technological properties. Furthermore, milk total antioxidant capacity was determined. The results obtained showed that the antioxidant supplement had no effect on feed intake, feeding behaviour, and feed efficiency. The treatment positively influenced milk production while it did not affect the chemical characteristics of the milk. In addition, the supplement of antioxidants improved the milk clotting properties (MCP). The supplement did not affect the antioxidant activity of the milk.

“…In another study, the relationship of blood metabolic changes and average daily gain with feed conversion efficiency were assessed in Murrah Heifers (Murrah buffalo) through a machine learning approach [20]. Another group of researchers conducted research using antioxidant micronutrient supplementation in Murrah buffalo, enhancing udder health and milk production [21]. Semen parameter and fertility potency were performed using cloned water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) in a study [22].…”

The bovine species buffalo was domesticated from its wild strain Bubalus arnee and is widely used livestock in southern Asia. There are two distinct types of Buffalo- the swamp buffalo (B. bubalis kerebau) and the river buffalo (B. bubalis bubalis), which diverged from the wild Asian water buffalo and then evolved in separate geographical regions. Several research studies performed on buffalo, like- characterization of trait-specific Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP), genetic and phenotypic diversity, gene prediction and function annotation, mapping of the draft genome, have helped our understanding of the buffalo genome. Some advanced discovery as identification of Single Nucleotide Variant (SNVs), Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) marker and their association with various phenotypic traits, MicroRNA's expression profiling, whole-genome sequencing, etc. have also enabled us to track the chromosomal evolution, physiological processes, and gene expression of buffalo. Proper enhancement of these traits can lead us to apply multi-omics-based tools for better animal health and production. Recent advancement in genomic research on buffalo is being accelerated with the association of modern tools like- Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS), genotyping by sequencing, epigenomic screening, microRNA's expression profiling, microarray technology, and whole-genome sequencing. All these tools bear great significance in breed up-gradation, identification of the phylogenetic relationship between species in proteome and genomic level, study gene expression level, diagnose diseases or developmental stages, phenotypic diversity, etc. All this knowledge paved the way for better optimization of production efficiency, product quality, and resistance to certain health hazards.
