ArticleItem Open Access GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF EMU CHICKS REARED UNDER INTENSIVE FARMING CONDITIONS(Global Impact Factor, 2017-12) Suganya, G.; Leela, V.; Paramasivam, A.; Jagatheesan, P. Richard; TANUVASA study was undertaken to evaluate the growth performance of emu chicks reared under intensive system of farming management. The data pertaining to the growth performance of emu chicks were collected from the perusal of the available records at emu research unit of Regional Research Centre, Pudukottai. Thirty numbers of chicks were selected for the study and the data regarding the body weight of chicks were collected for a period of 6 months. The average daily weight gain in chicks was then calculated. The experimental data were statistically analyzed and expressed as mean ± S.E. body weight of emu chicks recorded in the present study showed the maximum growth between 90 to 120 days of age. The mean of average daily weight gain of emu chicks observed in the present study increased steadily up to 90 days of age and then decreased gradually when the chicks reached 150 days of age, after which it remained constant till 180 days of age.ArticleItem Open Access A study on the birth of heterosexual river buffalo quadruplets - A Case report(2009) Kumar, V. Ramesh Saravana; Murali, N.; Selvam, S.; Jagatheesan, P. Richard; Muralidharan, J.; Panneerselvam, S.; TANUVASThe birth of live heterosexual quadruplets (three females and one male) in a river buffalo is a very rare event and hence it is documented. The cytogenetic study revealed the female calves and the dam exhibited 2n= 50, XX chromosome complement and the male calf exhibited 2n= 50. XY chromosome complement and this proves that the female calves are not freemartins, that in buffaloes the heifer calves born with bull calves need not always be freemartins
