“…Though the information is important for the development and improvement of genetic quality of local buff alo as part of the development of national buff alo, information genetics of Indonesian buff aloes is very low. This might partly be due to the lower performance of buff aloes with respect to economic important traits when compared to ca le, limiting the interests in buff alo genome analysis in the developed countries (Kierstein et al, 2004). However, the domestic buff alo holds a great economic potential in the developing countries.…”

Pit-1 gene has been identifi ed as the pituitary specifi c transcription factor that regulates the expression of the growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) genes in the anterior pituitary. The use of polymorphic markers in breeding programmes could make selection more accurate and effi cient. A total of 320 Indonesian buff aloes from four populations and 45 FH cows from nine populations were genotyped for polymorphism of Pit1|Hinf1 gene by the polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) methods. The gene polymorphism was detected only in FH ca le. The frequency of AA, AB, and BB genotype was 2%, 44%, and 53% respectively. The frequency of A allel was 25% and B allel was 75%, but no polymorphism was detected in 320 Indonesia buff aloes.

Bubalus bubalis (water buffalo) is an agro-economically important livestock species due to its multipurpose use in India and other Asian countries. The aim of this study was to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from buffalo genome. Genomic DNA was isolated from 24 blood samples of three Indian buffalo breeds and subjected to targeted pyrosequencing, followed by variant calling and annotation. Target probes for enrichment were designed from exome and 5 and 3 untranslated regions of cattle genome. By targeted pyro-sequencing and variant calling from 3.92 Gb data, 923,964 high-quality SNPs were identified. Many SNPs were identified in regulatory regions, leading to conformational changes in factor-binding sites, which play a role in gene expression as in the case of LPL gene from low-milkproducing samples. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment and clustering, resulted in the enrichment of GO terms involved in milk production and transport, and fertility-related categories. Around 75% of SNPs were located on cattle quantitative trait loci, supporting trait-wise sample collection approach. Further, PCA analysis from the identified SNPs also supported sample selection strategy based on contrasting trait performance.

Thirteen male river buffaloes, 119 females with reproductive problems (which had reached reproductive age but had failed to become pregnant in the presence of bulls) and two male co-twins underwent both clinical and cytogenetic investigation. Clinical analyses performed by veterinary practitioners revealed normal body conformation and external genitalia for most females. However, some subjects showed some slight male traits such as large base horn circumference, prominent withers and tight pelvis. Rectal palpation revealed damage to internal sex adducts varying between atrophy of Mullerian ducts to complete lack of internal sex adducts (with closed vagina). All bulls had normal karyotypes at high resolution banding, while 25 animals (23 females and 2 male co-twins) (20.7%) with reproductive problems were found to carry the following sex chromosome abnormalities: X monosomy (2 females); X trisomy (1 female); sex reversal syndrome (2 females); and free-martinism (18 females and 2 males). All female carriers were sterile.
