Abstract: Swamp buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) have been important domesticated livestock for farmers engaged in integrated crop-livestock farming in many countries including China, Vietnam, Laos, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand etc. Their multiple functional roles are vital as draught, transportation, manure, meat, by-products as well as livelihood of the rural communities. Current researches have been conducted in investigating the uniqueness of their abilities in utilizing low-quality feeds and producing fermentation end-products for further synthesis of useful products such as meat and milk. Furthermore, the use of molecular techniques to study existing rumen microbes namely bacteria, protozoa and fungi forming the rumen consortium and fermentation characteristics have been providing interesting data as pertaining to their abilities of digestion as well as potential applications in the food-feed-system.
Keywords: Swamp buffaloes, fermentation, rumen ecology, microbes, molecular techniques, food-feed-system
