“…In addition to the compositional changes in the liquids secreted, the MG undergoes various modifications during the productive life of the dairy buffalo cow from puberty through the onset of the reproductive cycle, gestation, birth, lactation, and, finally, involution during the dry period. This evolution entails a whole series of anatomical, physiological, biochemical, and neuroendocrine modifications [ 24 ]. The MG is made up of four complexes sustained by a suspensory ligament in the abdomen.…”

The present review aims to integrate the anatomical characteristics of the mammary gland and the neurophysiology of milk ejection to understand the milking capacity of the water buffalo. Since one of the main uses of this species is milk production, this article will analyze the controversies on the use of oxytocin as a stimulant during milking as well as the existing alternatives that farmers apply to promote correct stimulation during milk letdown. According to the available literature, the efficiency of the milking process, the quality of the milk, and the health of the animals are elements that require the consideration of species-specific characteristics to enhance the performance of buffaloes. The incorporation of technological innovations and competitive strategies could contribute to a better understanding of water buffalo in the milk industry.

“…This reduces the interalveolar pressure through the contraction of the myoepithelial cells that surround the alveolus, allowing the milk to flow towards the cistern of the udder for subsequent ejection. Oxytocin also aids in reestablishing normal mammary blood flow [ 84 , 85 ] ( Figure 10 ). If the calves are not used to stimulate milk ejection during mechanical milking ( Figure 8 ), then exogenous oxytocin must be administered to ensure milk ejection.…”

The purpose of this paper is to describe the characteristics of the dual-purpose water buffalo production based on the Mexican production system as a model in tropical wetlands. It includes a broad literature review emphasizing the most recent and specialized publications examining key findings to improve our understanding in the performance of the buffalo species (Bubalus bubalis). The complementary topics addressed include reproductive management, parturition, the dam–calf bond, milking routines, and models of confinement and management, in addition to aspects related to milk commercialization. This article summarizes the advances made to date in this production system and its current margins for improvement. The development of dual-purpose water buffalo production systems in Mexico’s tropical wetlands is a relatively recent phenomenon that has progressed and improved due to herd management. Buffaloes are an interesting alternative for dual purpose systems that offer several advantages. The lower milk production of this species compared to cattle is its main limitation. However, the properties of their milk allow one to obtain an added value and make this type of farms competitive. In synthesis, consolidating buffalo production in Mexico’s tropical wetlands will require broadening our knowledge of this species, and perfecting the most appropriate handling procedures. The activities of government agencies and processing enterprises will play vital roles in achieving the integral modernization of this potentially important economic activity.

“…Develerin laktasyon süresi 9 ila 18 ay arasında değişmekle birlikte elde edilen sütün miktarı ırk, hayvan sağlığı, laktasyon aşaması, yaşam koşulları gibi birçok faktöre bağlı olarak değişmektedir (4). Devenin süt verimi inek süt veriminden daha düşük ve kararsızdır ancak gelişmiş yem, su ve veterinerlik uygulamaları ile süt veriminin arttırılabileceği bildirilmiştir (6).…”
