ArticleItem Open Access AZOLLA AS A FEED SOURCE FOR DESI PIGS(TANUVAS, 2003-06) Parthasarathy, R.; Gowri, A. Mangala; Gajendran, K.; Hariharan, P.; TANUVASAzolla, a water fern is known to have high nitrogen content and offers a potential source of protein and energy for swine (Alcantara and Querubin, 1989). Desi pigs are mostly reared on seavenging. On optimum feeding of balanced diets they grow more and perform better. Further the information on scientific feeding of desi pigs is very scarce.ArticlesItem Open Access Comparative Efficacy Of Fenbendazole And Levamisole Against Nematodes In Calves(TANUVAS ; Chennai, 1995) Thejomoorthy, P.; Sundararaman, M.N.; Nepolean, R.

The egg shaped body is covered with soft feathers. The Ostrich produces the world's premier exotic leather and low fat red meat. It has a remarkable tolerance to heat, withstanding air temperature of 56 °C without undue stress. Apart from the producfion of skin, meat and feathers, Ostrich are being explored for medical and medicinal purposes. The tendons of the Ostrich's leg are used to replace tom tendons and in Ophthalmology the possibility of Ostrich eyes being used in cornea transplant in human. Ostrich production can be exploited commercially with the following features. ‘ The bird grows to 2.5 metres, lives to 70 years, breeds for 35 years and can produce more than 20 ofl"spring each year. In Australia, Ostrich can yield a fann gate return every 18 months $ 12,000/= per acre and return 38 per cent on The bird is ready to marloet in 12 months, producing 15sq.ft of leather hide and 30 kg of premium quality meat which is low in fat, cholesterol and calories, yet high in protein and iron. Economically maintained in paddocks with minimum husbandry practices and can be reared on annual/ perennial pastures.ArticleItem Open Access Duck Production - Status, Scope and Strategies(TANUVAS, 2000) Gajendran, K.; TANUVASThesisItem Open Access Effect of Hatching Egg Sanitation on Hatchability and Chick Growth(Madras Veterinary College, Chennai, 1978) Gajendran, K.; TANUVAS; Kothandaraman, P.ArticlesItem Open Access Estrus Synchronization And Conception Rate In Crossbred Cows With Prostagladin F2 Alpha Using Two Routes Of Administration(TANUVAS ; Chennai, 1998) Nepolean, R.

Gynaeco-obstetrical (n-113, 5.46%) and Surgical (n-470, 22.69%) cases among 2071 goats up to one to 24 months for a period of 5 years were studied. Diagnosis based on history, clinical signs and laboratory examination revealed diseases like fever, bottle-jaw, debility, inappetance, bloat, constipation, diarrhoea, dysentery, pneumonia, ectoparasitism, contagious ecthyma, abortion, retained placenta, dystocia, abscess, lameness, myiasis, navel-ill and fracture. Among medical, gynaeco-obsterical and surgical cases, diarrhoea (14.92%), dystocia(2.46%) and abscess(4.49%) were recorded as a major problems, respectively in goats.ArticleItem Open Access GROWTH EFFICIENCY OF MADRAS RED SHEEP UNDER FARMER’S FLOCKS(Indian Society for Sheep and Goat Production and Utilization, 2010-10) Devendran, P.; Cauveri, D.; Murali, N.; Ravimurugan, T.; Gajendran, K.; TANUVASMadras Red is a hairy breed of sheep raised mostly by landless farmers in northern districts of Tamil Nadu. The aim of the present study was to investigate the growth efficiency of Madras Red sheep reared by farmers in their native tract. The growth efficiency of sheep was computed by least squares analysis as the relative body weight gain for 0-3, 3-6, 6-9 and 9-12 months of age. The growth efficiency was decreased as the age of the lambs was advanced. Season of lambing had significant (p<0.05) influence on growth efficiency only during 6-9 months of age. Lambs born in off-season (April - July) gained more body weight than those born in the main season (October - January). The random effect of sire was significant (p<0.05) on growth efficiency during 0-3 and 6-9 months of age. Ram lambs were heavier than ewe lambs while growth efficiency was significantly (p<0.01) higher in ewe lambs due to their relatively faster growth during 0-3 and 9-12 months of age. The regression of dam weight at lambing had significant (p<0.01) influence on growth efficiency of their offspring during 0-3 months, indicating that lambs of heavier dams had better growth efficiency. The heritability estimate was low (0.08) at 0-3 months and moderate to high (0.14–0.31) at 3-6, 6-9 and 9-12 months of age, which suggested that selective breeding could improve the growth efficiency of Madras Red sheep.PresentationItem Open Access In Silico Study on the Interactions of Certain Anti Cancerous Peptides with Cancerous Proteins(TANUVAS, Chennai, 2007-08) Poongodi, A.; Aruni, A.

Tensingh; Sivakumar, T.; Arunachalam, S.; Gajendran, K.; Ramesh, V.; TANUVASIn a hot environment, the deterimental effects of heat stress on pigs include reduced feed intake, decreased activity and slower growth rate. Cooling systems currently used in swine industry generally rely on increased evaporative (sprinkling and wallowing) heat loss and are effective in improving productivity.ArticleItem Open Access Retrospective Analysis Of Clinical Diseases in Sheep Under Farm Condition(Indian J. of Field Veterinarians, 2006-07) Palanivel, K.M.; Gajendran, K.; TANUVASThe retrospective analysis of various clinical diseases in sheep under category of Medical, Gynaeco-obstetrical and Surgical cases from one month to 24 months age for a period of 5 years were studied. Among medical, gynaeco-obstetrical and surgical cases, pneumonia, dystocia and abscess were recorded as major problems respectively.OtherItem Open Access Studies of Price Spread of Duck Eggs and Consumer Acceptance of Duck Meat in Tamil Nadu(TANUVAS, 2000) Gajendran, K.; Kathiravan, G.ArticleItem Open Access Studies on the influence of the sire and the effect of season on conception rate in Cattle(TANUVAS, Chennai, 1987-02) Rahumathulla, P.S.; Sankarasubramanian, R.; Gajendran, K.; Suresh, R.V.; TANUVASVarious factors, such as the influence of the sire, the dam, the effect of season of insemination, feeding and management are responsible for variation in the conception rate in cattle. The effect of month and season on conception rate in cattle were studied by several authors (Prabhu and Bhattacharya, 1953; Kale, 1963; Singh, et al., 1964; Tomar, 1966; Anderson, 1966; Tomar et aI., 1972; Mukherjee, 1973; Nair, 1975; Datta et at, 1980 and Balachandran, et al., 1983) in India.PresentationItem Open Access Study on Phylogenetic Analysis and Homology Modelling of Viral Protein-2 (VP-2) of Bluetongue Virus - Affecting Small Ruminants(TANUVAS, Chennai, 2007-08) Thenmozhi, P.; Aruni, A.
