The aim of this study is to combine advanced GC-MS and metabolite identification in a robust repeatable technology platform characterize the metabolome buffalo milk mozzarella cheese. utilized eleven dairies located protected designation origin (PDO) region nine non-PDO Italy. Samples raw (100 mL) cheese g) were obtained from each dairy. A total 185 metabolites consistently detected both PLS-DA score plots clearly differentiated PDO samples. For samples, it was possible divide into two...
This study evaluated corpus luteum (CL) development in buffaloes out of breeding season and assessed an early pregnancy diagnosis. Mediterranean (n = 29) were synchronized artificially inseminated. CL B-mode/color Doppler ultrasonography examinations performed daily from Days 5 to 10 post-synchronization, recording dimensions blood flow parameters. Blood samples collected on the same days for progesterone (P4) assay. Data grouped into pregnant or nonpregnant retrospectively analyzed. The...
This study aimed to identify potential biomarkers for early pregnancy diagnosis in buffaloes subjected artificial insemination (AI). The was carried out on 10 pregnant and non-pregnant that were synchronized by Ovsynch-Timed Artificial Insemination Program have undergone the first AI. Furthermore, milk samples individually collected ten days before AI (the start of synchronization treatment), day AI, 7 18 after analyzed LC-MS. Statistical analysis using Mass Profile Professional (Agilent...
This study aimed to assess the influence of live body weight (LBW) and age on reproductive performance in buffalo heifers synchronized by different treatments.The was carried out 146 Mediterranean (mean 25.3±13.4months, LBW 424±47 kg), divided into 2 homogeneous groups Ovsynch-TAI Program (OVS; n = 72) or double prostaglandin administered 12 days apart (PGF; 74).All buffaloes were inseminated twice follicle dimensions ovulation rate (OR) assessed ultrasound 24 48 h...
