Abstract Buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) constitute an important animal in the dairy economy of India and South Asian countries. Implementation of embryo‐related artifi cial reproductive technologies will facilitate planned improvement strategies for this species. Yet more needs to be understood about its embryonic development. Verma et al. (in this issue) contribute to this understanding by identifying the stage of embryonic genome activation.
