“…LE). The current findings are similar to [37], who reported no effect of prepartum diet on milk yield in buffaloes. Our findings are also similar to [38,39], who reported that prepartum diet manipulation did not exert any influence on milk production during early lactation in cows.…”

“…Body weights did not change during pre and postpartum period for the LE, ME or HE diets fed buffaloes. These results are similar to [37], who reported no change in body weight due to prepartum concentrate supplementation during pre and postpartum period in buffaloes. The birth weights of the calves were higher for buffaloes fed the HE diet compared with ME or LE diet.…”

“…In addition, improved feeding during prepartum period is responsible for subsequent fertility [41,51]. Our findings are in contrast to [37], who reported high fertility with low and medium concentrate compared with high concentrate supplementation during prepartum in primiparous Nili Ravi buffaloes. Differences might be due to parity (primiparous) and duration of dietary treatment as they started feeding at 150 days of pregnancy.…”

“…In addition, HE diet improved the birth weights in buffaloes [40,41,51]. These results are in contrast to [37], who reported no effect of prepartum concentrate supplementation on birth weights of buffalo calves. Differences might be due to dietary treatments and they offered diet during close up period of 3 weeks prepartum, while in the current study buffaloes were fed 9 weeks prepartum.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of prepartum dietary energy level on postpartum production and reproduction in Nili Ravi buffaloes (n = 21). The buffaloes were offered low energy (LE: 1.31 Mcal/kg DM NEL (net energy for lactation)), medium energy (ME: 1.42 Mcal/kg DM NEL) or high energy (HE: 1.54 Mcal/kg DM NEL) diet for 63 days prepartum, and received the same lactation diet (LD: 1.22 Mcal/kg DM NEL) during 14 weeks postpartum. The effects of dietary energy level and week were analyzed with Proc GLIMMIX model. Dry matter intake (DMI) was lower in buffaloes fed the LE diet compared with buffaloes fed the ME or HE diet. Calf birth weight (CBW) was higher in buffaloes fed the HE diet compared with buffaloes fed the ME or LE diet. Milk production was similar in buffaloes fed the HE, ME or LE diet within 14 weeks postpartum and throughout the lactation. Milk fat was higher in buffaloes fed the LE diet compared with buffaloes fed the ME or HE diet. Milk protein and lactose yields was high in buffaloes fed the HE diet compared with buffaloes fed the ME or LE diet. Body condition score was high in HE and was affected by diet × week interactions during pre and postpartum period. The concentrations of β-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) and triglycerides in serum was lowest in buffaloes fed the HE diet compared with the buffaloes fed the ME or LE diet. The buffaloes fed the HE diet had early uterine involution (UI), first estrus, short dry days, and calving interval (CI) compared with buffaloes fed the ME or LE diet. None of buffaloes fed the LE diet exhibited estrus during the first 14 weeks postpartum compared with buffaloes fed the ME or HE diet. In conclusion, prepartum feeding of high energy diet can be helpful in improving the postpartum productive and reproductive performance in Nili Ravi buffaloes.

“…Several studies have linked the role of the mineral Ca to reproductive disorders in livestock, including puberty which is always affected by changes in the Ca : P ratio (Bindari et al 2013). According to Saadullah et al (2020), the supply of total nutrients in feed ingredients in NIli-Ravi Buffaloes affects the age of puberty and post-puberty.…”

This research aimed to identify the reproductive characteristics of Gayo buffaloes in the Mesidah Sub-district, Bener Meriah Regency. There were three locations of the current study namely Perumpaken Benjadi, Wer Tingkem, and Simpur, which were determined using the purposivesampling technique. A survey was used as the research method to obtain primary data and secondary data. Primary data were collected throughdirect interviews with buffalo livestock owners. They were asked a set of questions that had been prepared in a questionnaire. Secondary datawere obtained from related agencies in Bener Meriah Regency. The number of respondents was 92 from four villages in the Mesidah Sub-district,Bener Meriah Regency. Breeders as respondents were selected using a purposive sampling method, with minimum requirements that they hadraised two buffaloes that had given birth more than once and that the breeders had at least four years of farming experience. The research datawere analyzed using descriptive statistic. The results showed that the Gayo buffaloes in the Mesidah Sub-district, Bener Meriah Regency, had reproductive characteristics that met the standards. This can be seen from the obtained data which were almost the same as the average age of the reproductive characteristics of buffaloes in Indonesia. Gayo buffaloes in the Mesidah Sub-district experienced the first estrus (puberty) at 33.83 months old, first mating at 34.61 months old, and first calving at 45.29 months. The average gestation period was 10.51 months, the calving interval was 15.5 months, and the average service period was 3.66 months, while maintenance management was carried out extensively. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the reproductive characteristics of Gayo buffaloes in the Mesidah Sub-district, Bener Meriah Regency, still meet the standards. The average reproductive characteristics of Gayo buffaloes are generally the same as the average characteristics of other buffaloes in Indonesia.
