“…The results of the nine qualitative parameters of the current study are highly variable in terms of combinations of results as was observed from the quantitative parameters and morphometric characteristics index. The body appearance and skin color of buffaloes in our study conform to publications from Thailand (Chantalakhana and Skunmum, 2002), South and East Kalimantan, Indonesia (Hamdan et al, 2010;Lita, 2009), North Sumatera, Indonesia (Sitorus and Anggraeni, 2008) and the United Arab Emirates (Presicce, 2016). The coat colors in the four regions (NK, EK, SK, and PT) agreed with studies from Europe (Cockrill, 1981) and Thailand (Nozawa and Na Phuket, 1974) that stated swamp buffalo coat was generally dominated by black to grayish black colors.…”

Kalang buffaloes (KBuf) are bred in swamplands, maintained in large cages, and originate from Kalimantan Island, Indonesia, hence, the local word “kalang”. KBuf and Thale Noi buffaloes (TBuf) are important biodiversity resources in Indonesia and Thailand which permeate areas of culture, religion, meat supply, and livelihood. This study aimed to observe phenotypic characteristics within breeds of KBuf and TBuf based on quantitative and qualitative performance to define diversity. A total of two hundred and forty buffaloes were observed from North (NK), East (EK), South Kalimantan (SK) provinces of Indonesia, and Phatthalung (PT) province of Thailand. The phenotypic characterization consisted of quantitative, qualitative, and morphometric index analyses. The phenotypic characterization showed that female TBuf demonstrated the highest value on the quantitative parameters which was significantly different (P<0.05) compared to KBuf. Among Kalimantan buffaloes, SK males had the highest value on the qualitative parameters which was significantly different (P<0.05) from EK and NK. According to the morphometric index, male buffaloes from SK and PT have shown close index values (P>0.05). Also, females from EK, SK, and PT had a close relationship (P>0.05) in the morphometric indices. Based on qualitative characters, buffaloes in this study exhibited high variation in body appearance, skin, coat, and foot colors, horn pattern, backline, chevron, and whorls in the head, back, and rump. It was concluded that KBuf and TBuf have high variability in phenotypic diversity, the distribution area affects the parameter values as potentially influenced by lineage factors and ability to adapt to the environmental and management conditions.

Little information is available on the risk of human subjects for acquisition of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) from aquatic environment other than those treated with antimicrobials for aquaculture. Carriage of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase categories of AMR by enteric bacteria in livestock have been frequently reported. Dissemination of these categories of AMR to the environment thus poses a threat for their transmission to farmers engaged in livestock care posing a severe public health hazard. A study on the prevalence of ESBL- and carbapenemase-mediated AMR among Escherichia coli isolated from earth pond environment used for bathing and cleaning of buffalos (Bubalus bubalis) and from human subjects engaged in such activity revealed isolation rate of ESBL positivity to be higher in human subjects engaged in washing and bathing of buffalos (37.5%) compared to those without engagement in such activities (20.7%) with CTX-M type ESBL, a group of class A ESBL, as the predominant molecular type (97.4%). While no carbapenemase positivity could be detected among E. coli isolated from pond environment or buffalos, small percentage of carbapenemase could be detected among the E. coli isolated from human subjects although the risk was not higher than those not associated with bathing and cleaning of buffalos. Bathing and cleaning of buffalos could potentially facilitate transmission of ESBL resistance from livestock to human subjects in pond environment.
