ArticleItem Open Access Fertility and Hatchability of Indigenous Siruvidai Chicken of Tamil Nadu(2020-08) Jamima, J; Richard Churchil, R; Srinivasan, G; TANUVASSiruvidai and Peruvidai chicken are the major indigenous chicken ecotypes of Tamil Nadu state, India. A study was conducted to assess the fertility and hatchability of Siruvidai chicken hatching eggs incubated in a homestead incubator. The fertility, hatchability and embryonic mortality were recorded. The eggs failed to hatch out were break opened to determine the stage of embryonic mortality. The average fertility rate ranged from 85.00 to 91.67% in different hatches with the average value of 88.41%. The hatchability on total egg set ranged from 81.71 to 85.87% and the overall mean was 84.19; whereas the hatchability on fertile egg set ranged between 92.73 and 98.75 with the mean value of 95.28%. The breakopen study of unhatched eggs revealed 2.57% early embryonic mortality (range: 1.25 – 3.64%), 0.84% mid embryonic mortality (range: 0.00 to 1.82%) and 1.31% of late embryonic mortality including dead in shell (range: 0.00 to 2.11%). The total embryonic mortality was 4.72% with the values ranging from 1.25 to 7.27%. The results indicated good reproductive performance of indigenous Siruvidai chicken and efficient hatching of its eggs when homestead incubator is used.ArticleItem Open Access Production Performance, Hematology and Serum Biochemistry of Commercial Broilers Supplemented with Nano Selenium and other Anti-Stressors during Summer(2020-11) Jamima, J; Veeramani, P; Kumanan, K; Kanagaraju, P; TANUVASThe aim of this study is to determine the effect of dietary supplementation of nano selenium on production performance in commercial broilers during summer stress. Dietary nano selenium was compared with other anti-stressors such as inorganic selenium, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Betaine and 1% Glutamine. A total of 420 commercial broilers were divided into seven treatments with three replicates of 20 birds each and were supplemented with basal diet (control), inorganic Se (0.30 mg/kg), nano Se (0.15 mg/kg), Vit E (250 mg/kg), Betaine (2g/kg), Glutamine (1%) and Vit C (250 mg/kg). The highest body weight (1945.17 ± 25.28) and the lowest feed consumption (2973.16 ± 41.25) with better FCR (1.56 ± 0.02) was observed in birds supplemented with nano Se than other anti-stressors and control group. It was concluded that supplementation of nano Se in broiler diet improved the productivity of commercial broilers during summer stress.ArticleItem Open Access Qualitative and Morphometric Characters of Aseel Male Chicken(2019-01) Richard Churchil, R; Jamima, J; Machindra, Yadav Sunil, et al.; TANUVASA study was conducted at department of Poultry science, Madras Veterinary College, Chennai to record the qualitative characters of Aseel male chicken and to measure the biometric Characters of the birds. The skin, shank and eye colour were yellow and the colour was red in all the birds (100%). Sixty per cent of bird had red ear lobe and remaining 40% had pinkish red ear lobe. The comb type was ‘Pea’ in 80% of the birds, while it was ‘Rose’ in the remaining birds (20%). The beak colour was either brownish yellow (60%) or blackish yellow (40%). None of the birds had wattles (0%). The mean values of body weight (kg), beak length (cm), comb height (cm), shank length (cm), spur length (cm), body girth (cm), wing span (cm), keel bone length (cm), breast angle (degree), height of bird (cm) and body length (cm) were 1.87, 2.92, 0.96, 7.84, 2.10, 31.60, 75.00, 12.52, 30.80, 44.70 and 53.80 respectively. KeywordsArticleItem Open Access SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SELENIUM NANO PARTICLES BY HIGH ENERGY BALL MILLING (HEBM) TECHNIQUE(TANUVAS, 2020-07) Jamima, J; Veeramani, P; Kanagaraju, P; Kumanan, K; TANUVASln present day, supplementation of extra minerals and vitamins is highly essential in commercial diets due to high productivity and to Withstand the detrimental effects of different stresses. Selenium is one of essential trace minerals for better gro Wth and producti vity as Well as anti-stressor in commercial broilers.
