Abstract excerpt
The swamp buffalo (Bubalus bubalis carabanensis) plays a crucial role in agriculture across Southeast Asia but is increasingly underutilized in regions like Sabah, Malaysia. This study presents the first comprehensive statewide genetic assessment of Sabahan swamp buffalo using mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) gene sequences to investigate maternal origins and assess genetic diversity. Blood samples were...
