Article Abstract
The cow-calf bonding is a process that must be developed within the first six hours after calving. Both the buffalo dam and the newborn calf receive a series of sensory cues during calving, including olfactory, tactile, auditory, and visual stimuli. These inputs are processed in the brain to develop an exclusive bond where the dam provides selective care to the filial newborn. The limbic system, sensory cortices, and maternal-related hormones such as oxytocin mediate this process. Due to the complex integration of the maternal response towards the newborn, this paper aims to review the development of the cow-calf bonding process in water buffalo () via the olfactory, tactile, auditory, and visual stimuli. It will also discuss the neuroendocrine factors motivating buffalo cows to care for the calf using examples in other ruminant species where dam-newborn bonding has been extensively studied.

spp. infections in livestock are a significant yet underrecognized threat to both animal and human health in Brazil. This systematic review aimed to identify and synthesize available data on the geographical distribution, host species, age groups, diagnostic methods, infection rates, and species and subtypes identified, as well as to assess potential associations with diarrhea and the zoonotic impact of infections in production animals.

Reference intervals for blood variables in domestic animals are essential to diagnosing diseases and identifying physiological abnormalities in animal production. Establishing such intervals for water buffaloes is important due to the growing use of this species in livestock, their relevance as a major source of meat and milk, and the lack of specific reference data for certain categories within the species. This study evaluated the blood parameters in growing male water buffaloes.

Buffaloes play a vital role in Bangladesh's livestock sector, contributing significantly to the nation's milk and meat production. However, their productivity remains below potential due to limited genetic capacity, poor reproductive performance, and inadequate health and management practices. This review critically synthesizes findings from scientific literature, field studies, and national reports to assess the status of buffalo production, reproductive efficiency, genetic improvement efforts, and disease management strategies in Bangladesh.

Relative to free antibiotics, polymer-antibiotic conjugates (PACs) can possess modified solubility, sustained release behavior, and prolonged bioactivity in biological systems. As one of the most potent and ubiquitous antibiotics, clindamycin (Clin) has broad-spectrum antibiotic activity with versatile medical applications. However, polymer-Clin conjugates have not been reported yet.

The current study aimed to evaluate the impact of incorporating cactus pear pulp (CPP) at various concentrations (2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10% w/w) levels on the physicochemical, functional, LAB, and sensory attributes of stirred buffalo milk yogurt during refrigerated storage over 21 days. The results revealed that all measured qualitative attributes of yogurt samples were significantly ( < 0.05) affected by the CPP concentrations and storage durations.
