“…Bovines have a large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in their genome. The current SNP database (dbSNP) of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) contains over 9.5 million bovine SNPs; yet, very few buffalo SNPs have been identified (Amaral et al, 2008;Michelizzi et al, 2010Michelizzi et al, , 2011. As buffalo and cattle are closely related, the large quantity of genetic/genomic resources developed for cattle might help with characterizing the buffalo genome, and in the genomic selection of these animals.…”

ABSTRACT. To define the best strategies for genomic association studies and genomic selection, it is necessary to determine the extent of linkage disequilibrium (LD) and the genetic structure of the study population. The current study evaluated the transference of genomic information contained in the Illumina BovineHD BeadChip from cattle to buffaloes, and assessed the extent of the LD in buffaloes. Of the 688,593 bovine single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that were successfully genotyped from the 384 buffalo samples, only 16,580 markers were polymorphic, and had minor allele frequencies greater than 0.05. A total of 16,580 polymorphic SNPs were identified, which were uniformly distributed throughout the autosomes, because the density and mean distance between markers were similar for all autosomes. The average minor allele frequency for the 16,580 SNPs was 0.23. The overall mean LD for pairs of adjacent markers was 0.29 and 0.71, when measured as for r 2 and |D'|, respectively. The 16,580 4203©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.br Genetics and Molecular Research 13 (2): 4202-4215 (2014) Water buffalo genome characterization polymorphic SNPs were matched to Bos taurus chromosome in the current bovine genome assembly (Btau 4.2), and could be utilized in association studies. In conclusion, the Illumina BovineHD BeadChip contains approximately 16,580 polymorphic markers for the water buffalo, which are broadly distributed across the genome. These data could be used in genomic association and genomic selection studies; however, it might be necessary to develop a panel with specific SNP markers for water buffaloes.

“…They are susceptible to most diseases, specially infectious and parasitic, that similarly affect cattle. However, the effects of these diseases in buffaloes are less deleterious than in bovine (Michelizzi et al 2010). Sarcocystis spp., Neospora caninum and Toxoplasma gondii are Apicomplexa protozoa that have worldwide distribution and require an intermediate and a definitive host to complete the life cycle and also have been reported in buffaloes (Dubey et al 1998, Silva et al 2010, Konrad et al 2013.…”

Antibodies against Neospora caninum, Sarcocystis spp. and Toxoplasma gondii detected in buffaloes from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

ABSTRACT.-Portella L.P., Cadore G.C., Lima M., Sangioni L. The presence of antibodies against Neospora caninum, Sarcocystis spp. and Toxoplasma gondii was evaluated in buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) from Rio Grande do Sul state (RS), southern Brazil. Serum samples (n=220) were analyzed for antibodies by indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT). Antibody presence was considered when the titers were equal or higher than 100 for these protozoa. A total of 60.5% (133/220) buffalo serum samples were positive for at least one of the protozoa evaluated in this study. Antibodies for N. caninum, Sarcocystis spp. and T. gondii were found in 36.4% (80/220), 25.5% (56/220) and 16.8% (37/220) of the buffaloes respectively, indicating a higher frequency of N. caninum infection (p=0.0133). The IFAT is a suitable method to diagnose N. caninum, Sarcocystis spp. and T. gondii infection in buffaloes for detecting IgG antibodies. This study demonstrates the presence of these three protozoa in buffalo herds in RS, Brazil, which may be source of infection to other animals. The high frequency of animals positive for N. caninum is important and could be related to reproductive problems. Additionally, the presence of Sarcocystis spp. and T. gondii in buffaloes can be a possible public health issue.

“…In particular, the fact that the water buffalo meat includes the higher protein, lower fat and cholesterol levels compared to beef has been increased the interest to water buffalo meat and its products in recent years [6][7][8] . There are many studies in the literature on the use of water buffalo meat in various meat products [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] .…”

Pastırma is a traditional Turkish meat product which produced by using whole meat pieces obtained from water buffalo and beef carcasses. Although there are many studies on the general characteristics of the pastırma produced by using beef meat, the number of the studies on the pastırma produced from water buffalo meat is quite limited. In this study, different types of pastırma (sırt, bohça, kuşgömü, şekerpare and kürek) were made from water buffalo meat; and they were investigated in terms of physco-chemical, microbiological, sensorial and textural properties. There were no differences between pastırma types in terms of pH, redness (a*) value and the amount of non-protein nitrogenous substance (P>0.05). However, the lowest mean aw value (0.84±0.01) was determined in kuşgömü (P<0.05). Şekerpare showed the highest mean lightness (L*) value (P<0.05). While no significant difference was observed between the types of pastırma in terms of Micrococcus/ Staphylococcus count (P>0.05), the lowest count of lactic acid bacteria was found in kuşgömü (P<0.05). The highest mean odor score was determined in the sırt type of pastırma (P<0.05). Kuşgömü, which dries more quickly, also showed higher values in terms of firmness and chewiness compared to other types of pastırma (P<0.05). Furthermore, textural differences between the types of pastırma were observed more clearly with the principal component analysis (PCA) applied to textural properties.
