Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Domestic buffalo (the swamp and river type) is an important animal resource all around the world with the capacity to live on marginal resources in an austere environment. Being a multipurpose animal, it contributes to the cultural image and economy of many countries, represents an important source of food for humans, and in certain cases is also linked to certified dairy products, such as the Italian Mozzarella PDO. Despite the great potential of this animal, studies on many topics are limited compared with other farm animals. Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to publish original research papers and reviews on domestic buffalo genetics, genomics, reproduction, nutrition, behavior, and welfare.
We invite you to share your recent findings through this Special Issue.
