This case report describes for the first-time cases of severe gastroenteritis in water buffalo calves due to a new serovar of Salmonella enterica. The study was carried out on fecal matrix collected from live water buffalo calves that showed profuse diarrhea, severe dehydration and fever, exhibiting a systemic course. Culture and molecular investigations identified the pathogens isolated from intestinal contents as two Salmonella serovars, Salmonella enterica enterica O:35 and a new serovar of Salmonella enterica. The isolates showed multi-drug resistance. Timely diagnosis associated with a targeted antimicrobial treatment were found to be sufficient for the survival and recovery of the infected animals. Herd vaccines prepared from isolated pathogens were used to prevent further deaths of the calves.

First Time

When FAO published a major work in 1974 (Ross Cockrill), reviewing for the first time the then existing information relating to the water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), Sir John Grenfell E Crawford, the Vice Chancellor of the Australian National University, introduced it by unr' rlining that “among all farming livestock which science had neglected, the domestic buffalo served as an outstanding example of genera failure to recognise and exploit its production potential” Since then a world-wide interest has developed in this species, not only as a purveyor of anima protein for human consumption, but also because of a growing interest in the diversification of products of animal origin and the manufacture of typical regiona products as well as a variety of renewed uses of these animals. Furthermore, the strong image linking the buffalo with nature and the environment's ecological equilibrium, particularly in some of the world's more marginal lands, shows this species as one of the most viable alternatives of intensive cattle husbandry systems which are more and more under accusation in an environment-conscious society.

First Time

The domestic water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) are classified into the swamp and riverine. However, their hybrids are also found in some parts of Assam (Brahmaputra Valley) in North-east India. Swamp buffaloes have a typical phenotypic appearance, like the shape of horns, small size, and body-color, etc. This study characterizes the indigenous ‘Bhangor’ buffalo population from the Tripura state using cytogenetic analyses. The blood of buffaloes samples were collected across the state, phenotypically identified as swamp buffaloes were cultured, terminated, and harvested using conventional karyotype protocol to determine the number of chromosomes. We have characterized ‘Bhangor’ an indigenous buffalo population from Tripura state using karyotypic analysis for the first time to confirm that all animals phenotypically identified as swamp buffaloes with 2N=48 chromosomes.
