Investigation of the feed resource for buffalo

Abstract

Buffaloes make better use of coarse and inferior feed by converting them to biologically valuable animal production. They make very good use of the additional production of crop production, such as straw, sunflower cakes, sprouts and other. The aim is to study the physicochemical and fatty acid composition of the rations of buffalo of the Bulgarian mura breed in a church farm in Gigentsi village, Pernik District. The application of standard methods for the nutrition of buffaloes in separate periods - pastured with succulent fodder, winter (indoor) with coarse fodder, through which the ruminants are provided with the necessary nutritional components, allows to obtain high quality milk as a basic raw material for the production of dairy products. The use of succulent fodder and the incorporation of root crops into the feed instead of the buffalo concentrate provides them with respect to linoleic and alphalinolenic fatty acids, which are substrates for the synthesis of CLA (anticancer action) in rumen of ruminants.

“…MEPE, in particular, is thought to be strongly positively selected in herbivorous mammalian lineages and plays a crucial role in promoting the formation and mineralization of dentin, thus contributing to the strength of tooth structure [ 47 ]. Notably, buffaloes are known to efficiently utilize coarse feed, such as straw, sunflower cakes, and sprouts, and convert them into valuable animal products [ 10 , 48 , 49 ]. Recombination hotspots may provide genetic diversity to these tooth-related genes, but further experimental validation is required to confirm their functional roles.…”

“…Their strong bodies are capable of enduring the heavy work in the field. However, high-quality food is often in short supply in its living environment[ 10 ], which may have contributed to the buffalo's higher digestibility of crude protein and fiber [ 11 , 12 ]. Along with the boost of agricultural mechanization, buffaloes are optimized for meat or milk production [ 13 , 14 ].…”
