Senthamil; Bharathy, N.; Chinnamani, K.; Bandeswaran, C.; Murali, N.; TANUVASArticleItem Open Access Co-Composting Materials and Bio Accelerator on Nutritive Value of Manure(Indian Veterinary Association, 2018-06) Ragavendran, P.; Thennarasu, A.; Sundaram, S. Meenakshi; Bandeswaran, C.; Jaishankar, S.; Sivakumar, T.; TANUVASthe effect of co-composting materials and bio accelerator on nutritive value of manure. The result revealed that the nitrogen content was significantly higher (P<0.001) in Treatment 1 and 3 than the other treatment groups. The phosphorus content was significantly higher (P<0.001) in treatment groups T1, T3 and T4 than the other treatment groups. The treatment groups T3 and T4 wherein coir pith was added along with cow dung had a significantly higher (P<0.001) potassium content than the other treatment groups. It was concluded that addition of urine, feed refusal and Trichoderma viridae along with fortnightly turning of manure resulted in significantly reduced time for decomposition with higher nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content.ArticleItem Open Access Effect of Co-Composting Materials and Bio-Accelerator on Composting Period of Manure(2018-08) Ragavendran, P.; Thennarasu, A.; Meenakshisundaram, S.; Bandeswaran, C.; Jaishankar, S.; Sivakumar, T.; TANUVASThe present study was conducted to find out the effect of co-composting materials and bio accelerator on composting period of manure. The results revealed that a highly significant difference in C: N ratio between the treatment groups and between different stages of decomposition. The C: N ratio is the indicator of the level of decomposition of the manure. The decomposition process is considered complete when the C: N ratio < 20:1. The required C: N ratio was achieved at a significantly shorter duration (60 days) in treatment 1, followed by treatment 2 (75 days), treatment 3 (90 days), treatment 4 (105days) and treatment 5 (135 days). It was concluded that addition of urine, feed refusal and Trichoderma viridae & Pleurotus fioridae along with fortnightly turning of manure resulted in significantly reduced period of decomposition and manure was ready for field application.ThesisItem Open Access EFFECT OF DIETARY L-ARGININE SUPPLEMENTATION ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE AND LIPOGENIC GENE EXPRESSION IN BROILER CHICKS(TANUVAS, Chennai, 2017) Sathyapriya, A.; Bandeswaran, C.; TANUVAS; Karunakaran, R.; Parthiban, R.; Shamsudeen, P.An experiment was designed and conducted to study the effects of dietary L- arginine supplementation on growth performance and Iipogenic gene expression in broiler chicks. The feed ingredients used for experimental diet preparation were analysed for its proximate composition, acid insoluble ash, calcium and phosphorous. The lysine, methionine and arginine content of each ingredient were calculated from the analysed protein content as per the ICAR (2013) and NRC (1994). Five types of experimental broiler chicken diets were prepared with different levels of arginine in starter and finisher phases.ArticleItem Open Access Effect of different Nutrient Solutions on the Biomass Yield and Nutritive value of low cost Hydroponic Maize(2017-11) Gunasekaran, S.; Bandeswaran, C.; Valli, C.; TANUVASArticleItem Open Access Effect Of Extrusion Of Swine Grower Feed On Nutrient Digestibility And Production Performance In Large White Yorkshire Pigs(TANUVAS, Chennai, 2021-07) Murugeswari, R.; Murugan, M.; Bandeswaran, C.; Valli, C.; TANUVASA study was conducted to determine the effect of extrusion of swine grower feed on the nutrient digestibility and production performance in twentyfour conventionally weaned LWY piglets 30 days of age and 7.60 kg average body weight. They were grouped in to two groups with twelve piglets in each group and fed individually with mash feed (MF) and extruded feed (EF) ad libitum.The experiment was conducted for 90 days. The feed was formulated with maize (62.5%), soybean meal (10%), fish meal (6%), wheat bran (8%), deoiled rice bran (11%), mineral mixture (2%) and salt (1%). The extrudate was air-dried overnight and analysed for its chemical composition.The results indicated that the moisture (MF- 9.54% and EF - 5.17%), total ash -TA (MF- 7.77% and EF - 6.35%), crude protein-CP (MF- 18.14% and EF - 17.36%), ether extract -EE (MF- 2.04% and EF - 1.74%), crude fibre– CF (MF- 6.13% and EF - 5.04%), nitrogen free extract – NFE (MF- 65.05% and EF - 69.51%), calcium (MF- 0.07% and EF - 0.06%), phosphorus (MF- 0.44% and EF - 0.45%) and gross energy– GE (MF- 3870.55 kcal/kg and EF - 4105.75 kcal/kg). The extrusion process decreased moisture, TA, EE and CF significantly (P<0.05) and also increased NFE and GE significantly (P< 0.01) in the extruded feed.The digestibility of dry matter (MF- 84.19% and EF -87.28%), CP (MF- 91.29% and EF -93.21%), EE (MF- 69.21% and EF - 1.74%), CF (MF- 81.44% and EF -87.54%) and energy (MF- 77.94% and EF -83.36%) were recorded.The digestible nutrients of EE and CF were increased significantly (P<0.05) and energy of (MF – 77.94%) extruded feed was increased significantly (P<0.01) by 7 per cent than the mash feed (EF- 83.36%).The average feed intake was significantly (P<0.05) different from MF (2417.43g/day) to EF (2106.97g/day) group.ArticleItem Open Access Effect of Ghee Residue on Blood Profile of Large White Yorkshire Pigs(Informatics Publishing Limited, 2016-12) Selvamani, J.; Radhakrishnan, L.; Bandeswaran, C.; Gopi, H.; Pasupathi, Karu; TANUVASTo expose the effect of ghee residue on blood profile of large white Yorkshire pigs. Methods/Analysis: A biological trial was conducted for 140 days in 24 weaned Large White Yorkshire piglets and randomly allotted into four different treatments with 6 animals in each group from 61 to 200 days of age. Four Large White Yorkshire pigs from each group in the growth trial were selected randomly and were kept off feed for a period of 12 hours prior to slaughter but given ad libitum access to water. They were stunned with electrical stunner and then dressed as per standard procedure. The blood samples were collected from jugular vein of animals of each group prior to slaughter and estimated their parameters. Findings: Haematological profiles were not influenced by inclusion of ghee residue even up to 15 per cent in pig diets. Ghee residue inclusion in pig diets up to 15 per cent level highly reduced serum cholesterol and total protein levels and had no influence on serum glucose, calcium and phosphorusArticleItem Open Access EFFECT OF HERBAL IMMUNOMODULATOR GO SANJEEVI ON THE IMMUNE STATUS OF PPR VACCINATED LAMBS(2013) Karthick, R.; Kumaravelu, N.; Sivakumar, T.; Bandeswaran, C.; Singaravadivelan, A.; TANUVASSheep plays an important role in animal production and rural economy in arid and semi-arid regions and largely in marginal and sub-marginal holdings.

The in vitro true dry matter degradability, total gas production, volatile fatty acid production and microbial population increased proportionally to the dose of S. cerevisiae. However, methane production was not affected significantly. The ruminal pH and ammonia nitrogen levels decreased (P<0.01) in yeast supplemented groups. Increasing the level of S. cerevisiae supplementation enhanced (P<0.01) bacteria and protozoa population. These results revealed that the positive effects on in vitro ruminal fermentation were dose dependent.ArticleItem Open Access Estimation of nutritive value of ghee residue procured from western districts of Tamil Nadu, India(2017-12) Selvamani, J.; Radhakrishnan, L.; Bandeswaran, C.; Gopi, H.; Valli, C.; TANUVASAn experiment was conducted to analyse the chemical composition and nutritive value of ghee residue collected from various regions of Tamil Nadu. The per cent dry matter, crude protein, crude fibre, ether extract, total ash and Nitrogen Free Extract in ghee residue was 90.61, 24.32, 0.26, 40.69, 4.71 and 30.02, respectively. The calcium, phosphorus and magnesium of ghee residue were 0.58, 0.58 and 0.58 per cent, respectively. The copper, manganese and iron levels in ghee residue were 7.06, 350.57 and 413.62 ppm, respectively. Essential amino acids like lysine and methionine were at lower levels in ghee residue. Fatty acid profile in ghee residue including myristic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, arachidic acid, behenic acid, ecosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid and other fatty acids were 12.76, 38.13, 1.73, 12.45, 28.20, 3.81, 0.83, 0.16, 0.63, 0.50, 0.18, and 0.56 per cent, respectively. Oleic acid levels were observed to be higher in ghee residue. Thus, it could be concluded that ghee residue is a rich source of fat and protein and also a rich source of unsaturated fatty acid and oleic acid. Further in vivo trials are needed to find the digestibility and inclusion levels in mongastrics.OtherItem Open Access Evaluation of Mango Peel Waste Ensiled Fodder Sorghum in Sheep(TANUVAS, 2013-08) Bandeswaran, C.; Murugan, M.; Radhakrishnan, L.ThesisItem Open Access Evolving Appropriate Time Of Feeding Without Altering The Feed Ingredients / Forage For Enhancing Rumen Microbial Biomass In Cattle(Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, 2010) Bandeswaran, C.; TANUVAS; Karunakaran, R.; Balakrishnan, V.; Valli, C.; Sukumar, S.A study was under taken to bring out a possible ruminal delivery of synchronized energy and protein to enhance ruminal microbial biomass in cattle by evolving appropriate time of feeding without altering the feed ingredients in four roughages (Napier- bajra hybrid grass, sugarcane tops, sorghum stover and paddy straw) based feeding systems located in five agro-climatic zones of Tamilnadu. A survey with 120 farmers having low milk yielding dairy cattle in four roughage based feeding systems revealed that 53.3, 50.0, 53.3 and 36.7 per cent of farmers feed twice daily during morning and evening with Napier-bajra grass, sugarcane tops, sorghum stover and paddy straw respectively. Groundnut oil cake along with de-oiled rice bran were fed by 33.3, 20.0 23.3 per cent of farmers in the forenoon and evening in NB hybrid grass, sugarcane tops and paddy straw based feeding systems respectively. Only 26.7 per cent of farmers feed coconut oil cake along with de-oiled rice bran twice daily during forenoon and evening in sorghum stover based feeding system. In Napier-bajra hybrid grass based feeding system, the NB hybrid grass, groundnut oil cake, de-oiled rice bran were fed at 65.8, 8.8 and 25.4 per cent, respectively. In sugarcane tops based feeding system, the sugarcane tops, paddy straw, groundnut oil cake, de-oiled rice bran were fed in the proportion of 51.9, 25.2, 8.1 and 14.8 per cent, respectively. The sorghum stover, coconut oil cake and de-oiled rice bran were fed in the proportion of 71.8, 12.1 and 16.1 per cent respectively in sorghum stover based feeding system. The paddy straw, groundnut oil cake and de-oiled rice bran were fed in the proportion of 75.8, 8.0 and 16.2 per cent, respectively in paddy straw based feeding system. The respective half time (t1/2) of organic matter and nitrogen determined by in vitro (TANUVAS RUSITEC) for NB hybrid grass, sugarcane tops, sorghum stover and paddy straw were 16 ± 1 and 14 ± 2, 27 ± 2 and 24 ± 1, 27 ± 4 and 34 ± 4 and 29 ± 2 and 40 ± 6 h, respectively. The respective t1/2 time of organic matter and nitrogen for the commonly fed supplemental feeds viz., groundnut oil cake, sesame oil cake, coconut oil cake and de-oiled rice bran were 7 ± 1 and 9 ± 1, 5 ± 1 and 8 ± 1, 7 ± 1 and 15 ± 2 and 8 ± 0 and 7 ± 1 h, respectively. Based on t1/2 of organic matter from roughage and de-oiled rice bran and t1/2 of nitrogen from oil cake, the existing farmer feeding strategy (FFS) was modified without altering the type and quantity of forage / feed ingredients in evolved feeding strategy (EFS). The influence of feeding strategies was tested by simulated feeding in semi continuous culture system (RUSITEC) for their efficiency of synthesizing rumen microbial protein. The results indicated that at 48 h of incubation, the dry matter and organic matter degradability was significantly (p<0.055) higher in NB hybrid grass, sugarcane tops and sorghum stover based evolved feeding strategies compared to respective farmers feeding strategies except in paddy straw based feeding strategy. The rumen microbial protein production per day was significantly higher in NB hybrid grass (p=0.056) and sorghum stover (p=0.014) based evolved feeding strategies. Validation of the in vitro finding by comparing evolved feeding strategy with farmer’s feeding strategy on rumen microbial nitrogen synthesis estimated from purine derivatives (PD) excretion in crossbred cattle, male calves revealed that the microbial nitrogen synthesis per kg metabolic body weight of animal was comparable between evolved feeding strategy and farmer’s feeding strategy irrespective of type of feeding system. However, a non significant increase of 5.02 and 1.0 per cent microbial nitrogen production per kg metabolic body weight of animal in evolved feeding strategies were observed in NB hybrid grass and sorghum stover based feeding systems, respectively. It may be concluded that evolved feeding strategy of Napier-bajra hybrid grass, sugarcane tops, sorghum stover and paddy straw based feeding systems did not significantly enhanced the rumen microbial nitrogen synthesis and growth rate of calves. Hence, it is recommended to adopt farmer’s feeding strategies in all the four roughages based feeding systems.OtherItem Open Access Fodder Production Through Guava Based Hortipasture System for Small Ruminants(TANUVAS, 2013-08) Gunasekaran, S.; Bandeswaran, C.; Viswanathan, K.; Kathirvelan, C.; Vennila, C.OtherItem Open Access Growth Performance and Relative Cost Economics of Salem Black Kids Reared Under Different Systems of Management(TANUVAS, Chennai, 2011-12) Chinnamani, K.; Arulnathan, N.; Bandeswaran, C.; Ravi, P.
