Radioimmunoassay of Luteinizing Hormone in the Carabao

Abstract:

Interest in the Philippine swamp buffalo (carabao) as a multipurpose animal for draft, meat, and milk has increased in the wake of rising costs of petroleum fuel and the need for self-sufficiency in animal protein to feed our increasing population (1,2,3). Reproductive and genetic constraints, however, are observed as major deterrents to its full utilization.
