Objetivo: Analizar los principales indicadores asociados al manejo cultural del sistema búfalo en el sur de Veracruz, México (municipios de Acayucan, Sayula, Minatitlán, Soconusco, Hidalgotitlán, San JuanEvangelista, Las Choapas, Oluta, Jesús Carranza y Valle de Uxpanapan), para el desarrollo sustentable.Diseño/metodología/aproximación: El método de análisis de la presente investigación fue de tipo cuantitativo y el instrumento fue el cuestionario, los resultados se procesaron en el software estadísticoDYANE ver. 4.0 y los indicadores de sustentabilidad fueron desarrollados a partir de tres ejes transversales (social, económico y productivo).Resultados: Los resultados muestran valores elevados en los indicadores económicos, debido a que los productores perciben que la actividad ganadera con búfalos, es un negocio rentable.Limitaciones del estudio/implicaciones: En el eje productivo correspondió al patrón socio-cultural de la ganadería en el trópico, el cual se perpetúa generación tras generación, por el sistema social en elcual está inserto; sin embargo, se recomienda desarrollar el potencial en los ejes social, productivo y económico hacia la sustentabilidad del sistema búfalo.Hallazgos/conclusiones: Destacan indicadores del eje económico, debido a la percepción de rentabilidad; pero falta realizar actividades para el desarrollo sustentable en los ejes económico, social y productivo.

The present study was carried out to evaluate the variations in serum minerals ( viz. calcium, magnesium and phosphorus) and transaminases in ketotic buffaloes. Results of blood analysis revealed a significant (P<0.05) reduction in serum phosphorus in ketotic buffaloes whereas nonsignificant (P>0.05) difference occur in serum calcium and magnesium in ketotic buffaloes as compared to control. At the same time significant increase in transaminases GPT, GOT and GGT have been observed .

AbstractEnteric methane production contributes significantly to the greenhouse gas emission globally. Although, buffaloes are integral part of livestock production in Asian countries, contributing milk, meat and draft power, the contribution of enteric methane to environmental pollution attracts attention. The present study investigated the efficacy of garlic (Allium sativum) oil in reducing enteric methane production from buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) by in vitro rumen fermentation. Garlic oil (GOL) was tested at four concentrations [0 (Control), 33.33 µl (GOL-1), 83.33 µl (GOL-2) and 166.66 µl (GOL-3) per litre of buffered rumen fluid] in 100-ml graduated glass syringes and incubated at 39℃ for 24 h for in vitro rumen fermentation study. Supplementation of GOL-1 increased (p < 0.05) total gas production in comparison with GOL-3; however, it remained comparable (p > 0.05) with control and GOL-2. Graded doses of garlic oil inclusions reduced (p < 0.001) methane concentration (%) in total gas and total methane production (ml/g DM), irrespective of concentrations. The feed degradability, volatile fatty acids and microbial biomass production (MBP) were not affected (p > 0.05) by GOL-1, but these tended to decrease in GOL-2 with marked reduction (p < 0.01) in GOL-3. The decrease (p < 0.01) in NH3–N concentration in fermentation fluid in the presence of garlic oil, irrespective of concentration, suggests reduced deamination by inhibiting rumen proteolytic bacterial population. The activities of ruminal fibrolytic enzymes (CMCase, xylanase, β-glucosidase, acetyl esterase) were not affected by lower dose (GOL-1) of garlic oil; however, reduction (p < 0.05) of these enzymes activity in rumen liquor was evident at higher doses (GOL-2 and GOL-3) of supplementation. This study shows positive impact of garlic oil supplementation at low dose (33.33 µl/l of rumen fluid) in reducing enteric methane production, thereby, abatement of environmental pollution without affecting feed digestibility.

Antibiotic resistance profiling (ARP) is a potentially useful method for distinguishing faecal bacteria according to host source. This phenotypic approach has cost benefits over genotypic methods, but existing protocols are time-consuming and manual data handling is open to human error. A simplified, low-cost approach to the ARP technique was developed that used automated data recording techniques combined with simple statistical analyses to compare isolates of the genus Enterococcus from various faecal sources. An initial battery of 21 antibiotics (at up to four concentrations) was chosen for source discrimination. Images of growth or non-growth in microplate wells were stored as bitmaps and converted to binary data to form a database of known antibiotic resistance profiles. Discriminant function analysis (DFA) showed that the average rate of isolates correctly classified by the database (wastewater vs non-wastewater) was 86%. Once the more discriminating antibiotics and their concentrations had been identified, it was possible to reduce the number of tests from 80 to 18 whilst increasing the number of correctly classified human isolates. ARP could offer a low-cost and rapid means of identifying sources of faecal pollution. As such, the technique may be of particular benefit to developing countries, where water quality may have a significant impact on health and where cost is a major factor when choosing environmental management technology.
