SUMMARY:

Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is an important livestock resource in several world regions, especially in tropical and subtropical countries (Mokhber et al., 2018), as it has a triple aptitude, being used not only for traction, but also for milk and milk production. meat (Silva, 2010). In addition, the buffalo is also considered an animal that easily adapts to adverse conditions without the need to modify it, which is an important characteristic for the Amazon region where they are raised in floodplain areas, avoiding the destruction of the native forest ( Santini et al., 2013).

The great nutritional value of buffalo milk has already been proven, as it contains high levels of fat, protein and total solids. Furthermore, the better yield in the production of dairy products, especially cheeses, also draws the attention of agro-industrial producers (Khedkar et al., 2016).

Dairy buffaloes as well as cows present several health challenges; among these is the maintenance of the health of the mammary gland, where it is known that prophylactic measures taken before, during and after milking are points that can interfere with the milk microbiota. In addition to these, everything that comes in contact with the animal's teat, such as the calf's mouth and the soil/surfaces of the environment in which the animal is inserted (Saeki et al., 2011) also predisposes to gland infections and contamination of the milk.

Milk harbors a wide range of bacteria, many of which cannot be identified by culturing samples in selective media, thus leaving microorganisms undetected. It has been reported in studies that 25% of clinical mastitis is caused by microorganisms that are not detected in bacterial culture media (Taponen et al., 2009). Studies regarding the microbiome of buffalo milk associated with the health of the mammary gland have been rarely carried out (Catozzi et al., 2017). Given the above, there is great interest in the buffalo teat microbiota and its role in maintaining or not the health of the animal's mammary gland.
