Research and Development 01-Dec-2015 TIM-3, GAL-9, NRAMP1 and NRAMP2: possible candidate genes responsible for disease resistance, tolerance, and/or susceptibility in water buffaloes There are claims by several sectors that swamp-type water buffaloes are more resistant to infectious disease compared to riverine water buffaloes. To confirm this, the Philippine Carabao Center (PCC), through its Animal Health Unit, has conducted a preliminary study on the “Molecular Characterization of T-cell immunoglobulin mucin domain-3 (TIM-3), Galectin-9 (GAL-9), and NRAMP1/2 (Slc11a1/a2) genes of these two types of water buffaloes”.

Research and Development 01-Dec-2015 Nematode killing fungi: An alternative control for gastrointestinal parasites Parasitic gastrointestinal nematodes cause disease infestation among grazed buffaloes resulting in severe economic losses brought about by poor health, weight and reproduction performance.
Research and Development 01-Dec-2015 SLA: candidate gene marker for immune response Vs diarrhea in pre-weaning piglets, study shows Diarrhea causes significant economic impact on the success of the swine industry in the country. This is always common in many piglets leading to poor growth rate associated with a low and variable feed intake before and after weaning, the experts said.
