Morphological Characteristics of the Stomach of the Swamp Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)
The ability of swamp buffaloes for adaptation to swampland was suggested to be supported by their digestive system efficiency including absorption one. This research was done to obtain scientific explanation about digestive efficiency of swamp buffalo by investigating swamp buffalo stomach morpholog...
