Abstract

Mapping and action programs for buffalo development in the mountain regions of Pinrang regency is particularly important because this zone has the potential in terms of natural resources and human resources that can support development of buffalo in this area. This research was conducted through three approaches, namely integrated approach, participatory approach, and field observations. The analytical tools used were the Location Quotient (LC) and SWOT analysis. Data sources were secondary data, supporting documents, interviews, direct observations, and focus group discussion (FDG). Mapping development of buffalo in the mountain areas of Pinrang has a comparative advantage compared to cattle and goats. Action development programs of Buffalo were divided into nine action programs, namely (1) Restructuring of the region by breeding center development, (2) Improvement of buffalo production and productivity, (3) Prevention and Control of buffalo diseases, (4) Improvement of forage production, (5) Improvement of livestock technology application, (6) Improvement of livestock marketing and animal husbandry production, (7) Institutional strengthening of the farmer group, (8) Improvement of human resources capacity as the actors of livestock activities, (9) Regulations and implementation of programs to support investment for buffalo  livestock

Abstract

The mammalian ovaries are valuable source of oocytes for reproductive biotechnology. Oocytes attain developmental competence in vivo being in follicular fluid so using it as maturation medium could be an option. Pig and bovine IVM studies using follicular fluid gave favorable effects. Bubaline IVM experiment in CRD made use of 271 oocytes from buffalo ovaries. The oocytes were subjected to five maturation media: pure TCM 199 (T 1); 50% TCM 199 + 50% BFF from 2-5 mm follicle size (FS) (T 2); pure BFF from 2-5mm FS (T 3); 50% TCM 199 + 50% BFF from 5-8mm FS (T 4) and pure BFF from 5-8 mm FS (T 5). The oocytes were cultured for 22-24 hours at 38oC, 5% CO2 in air and high humidity inside the incubator then the oocytes were fixed, stained destained and evaluated their developmental competence. In all the treatments, no significant differences were observed in the IVM stages of bubaline oocytes. The percentage values of matured oocytes ranged from 64.44% to 79.72%. The size of the follicles used in Treatments 2 and 3 showed no significant variations on oocyte maturation from Treatments 4 and 5.  BFF can be a substitute for TCM 199 in pure form or in combination with TCM 199 in bubaline IVM studies.

Abstract

Enhancement production and productivity of buffalo depends upon three factors, i.e. feeding, breeding and management. The aim of this research was to identify the technology innovation that required by the farmers for buffalo development in North Toraja Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The research was in North Toraja, South Sulawesi. The farmer samples were determined randomly and its number was determined by Slovin formula. Data were collected by appropriate questioners, focus group discussion (FGD), and deep interview on key informants. The results showed that majority of farmers raise their buffalo traditionally, with buffalo ownership between 2 and 5 heads/households. Almost all buffalo were raised extensively with simple settlement (wooden cages). They grazed on the rice fields or in the dry lands for feeding without farmers guard.  In terms of technology innovation, the farmers required such technology improvements as raising system, selection method in breeding, settlements system, feeding and animal health for their animal. Actually, most of the farmers have known some simple technology to fulfill the needs for feeding of their buffalo. However, the application of the technology at farm level was still limited. Therefore, some efforts to optimize application of technology by the farmers are still necessary in order to increase buffalo productivity in North Toraja.

Abstract

Buffalo livestock and strategies are reported for all the countries in Europe, where buffalo specie is reared and used for food production, as Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, Germany, Macedonia, United Kingdome, Greece, Serbia, Albania, Ukraine, Hungary. Particularly Italy situation is discussed as in this country selection, milk recording and production, management, nutrition and reproduction techniques, quality food and marketing are really developed at top level. In Italy 50,000 buffaloes are recorded every month during the lactation, showing a milk yield of 2,220 kg in 270 days of lactation with 8.4% fat and 4.6% protein, as many champions produce more than 5,000 kg for lactation. Artificial insemination is largely applied. The National Association of  Italian Buffalo breeders was instituted on 1979, the Buffalo Genealogical Book for the Mediterranean Italian Buffalo Breed on 1980, the famous mozzarella cheese obtained the Denomination Origin Protected on 1993, with Decree of Agricultural Ministry, approved by European Union, where milk and mozzarella characteristics are defined for consumer guarantee. In Italy 400,000 buffaloes are managed and fed in intensive system: the females are kept loose in paddock and mechanically milked twice a day; the males are managed in feed-lots or on slatted floor stables for fattening and are slaughtered at 15 months, achieving more than 400 kg live weight. Even if many products  are appreciated coming from milk, as ricotta, provola, scamorza, treccia and other cheeses, or coming from meat, as steaks, roast, ham, bresaola, salami, the most important product in the Italian and international market is mozzarella, of which 36,000 tons are produced every year, with a value of 500 million euros. The consumption is 82% in Italy, 18% for export, particularly for Germany, France, USA, UK.

Abstract

Malaysia imported more than 70% of its red meat from India in the form of frozen bone less buffalo meat. Ironically importers and consumers called this imported buffalo meat as "Indian Beef". Another 20 % meat import is mainly from Australia, Brazil & Argentina, while local beef production account for the 10%. The majority of red meat from India is widely utilized in local dishes and processed into hamburgers, sausages, meat balls and nuggets. Buffalo Meat from India is cheaper compared to local beef as well as Australian or other meat imports. About 35- 40 % of imported buffalo meat are further processed into value added meat products  because of higher return as well as meeting demands for the fast food industry and  convenience for the low income urban communities. Indian buffalo meat import is a big business dominated by more than a dozen of cold chain traders that monopolized the industry. Research & Development over the past 30 years has resulted in many papers published with seminars & proceedings on meat products developments and formulations, generating useful information to the local meat industry as well as government. Use of local palm fats and soy protein with buffalo meat has also resulted in improved processed meat products beneficial to the growing youth population who consumed a substantial amount of processed fast food meat based products.

Abstract

There are 32.75M swamp buffaloes, mostly found in Asia which represent 20.51% of the worlds buffalo population (FAO, 2012). The history of swamp buffalo is basically a history of small-hold land-based agriculture. For centuries, swamp buffaloes have played a major role in draft animal-dependent farming systems, mainly in the production of major agricultural crops. In recent years, however, developments in land-based agriculture in East and Southeast Asia, such as expansion of irrigation facilities and farm mechanization, have significantly reduced the use of buffaloes as draft animals. Utilization of the existing huge population of swamp buffaloes by crossbreeding and at least 2 generations of backcrossing with dairy breed, and harnessing the age-tested abilities of the small-hold farmers to rear these animals can provide opportunities to earn additional income, and also to meet the growing domestic demand for milk and meat. The technical aspect of such crossbreeding has been a subject of research interest for several years in view of the known differences in their chromosome numbers, swamp buffalo has 2n=48 while the riverine type has 2n=50. Today, there are enough evidences that this effort is feasible. For wide-scale crossbreeding and backcrossing program to succeed, the mechanism needed for its implementation, such as artificial insemination system, has to be institutionalized, primarily because the length of the required period is at least 15 years to achieve results of 3 to 4 generations of backcrossing. In the final analysis, the results of this genetic transformation of swamp buffaloes will find more meaning if the "new animals" designed to produce more milk and meat are fully utilized to benefit millions of farming families. The system should also recognize the requisites for "businessizing" the smallholders, raising them from subsistence way of husbandry to the level of entrepreneurship.

Abstract

Appropriate use of relatively inexpensive agricultural by-products (ABP) is of paramount importance for profitable buffalo production. Utilization of agro-waste as livestock feedstuffs is an important strategy that should be included in the agricultural development master plan of Southeast Asian countries. Objectives of this paper are to provide information on suitable ABP that can be utilized as total mixed rations (TMR) for intensive and semi-intensive buffalo production systems, to identify appropriate processing technology for efficient utilization and storage, and to evaluate buffaloes performance and meat quality fed on ABP based TMR. ABP are usually imbalance in its nutrient composition. Mixing of ABP is usually needed in order to balance up nutrients composition in the diets. Use of TMR is appropriate for intensive production systems. Least cost formulations are important in determining the feed cost and return to investment. Feeding cost is about 70% of production cost in intensive feeding management. Cost of ABP based TMR were affordable and feeding management for buffaloes in the feedlot is practical. The technology is suitable for smallholders and large scale commercial buffalo production. The quality of meat from swamp buffaloes was usually variable and questionable. This could be due to improper production systems and poor feeding practice (low quality and quantity of diets). Studies showed that ABP diets enhanced the formation of marbling in buffalo muscles and produced better carcass conformation than the grazing buffaloes. The meat of swamp buffalo fed on ABP diet was tenderer and showed lower cooking loss than the meat from pasture-fed animals. In conclusion, the quality of buffalo meat can be improved through planned feeding systems by using right combinations of ABP in the diets of the animals. This study showed that buffalo meat is not inferior to beef provided that buffaloes are raised under proper feeding and management systems.
