ArticleItem Open Access Dietary fibre as functional ingredient in meat products: A review(2021) Jayanthi, R; Appa Rao, V; Narendra Babu, R, et al.,; Boopathy Raja, M; TANUVASFunctional foods are a modified food or food ingredient that provides a health benefit beyond satisfying traditional nutrient requirements. The development of functional foods are those foods fortified with vitamins and/or minerals such as vitamin C, vitamin E, folic acid, zinc, iron and calcium. Functional foods could help in prevention and/or management of obesity and type 2 diabetes and could involve food products that help management of ‘hunger’ or increase ‘satiety’. The selection of best source of nutrients for the incorporation, inclusion and replacement is very important at the same time to evaluate the optimum level of inclusion of source materials for development of functional meat products is also important. Since the meat and meat products are low in dietary fibre there are many research have been done in the aspect of dietary fibre incorporation, their role and their level in the final products with different sources of dietary fibre. Hence, this article will help on to understand the functional meat products in detailed with dietary fibre enrichment.ThesisItem Open Access EVALUATION OF CHRYSANTHEMUM (Dendranthema grandiflora Tzvelev.) CULTIVARS FOR GROWTH, YIELD AND VASE LIFE(University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 2001) Baskaran, V; Jayanthi, RABSTRACT NOT AVAILABLEArticleItem Open Access Microbial degradation of chicken feathers to convert waste into value added biopolymer(AkiNik Publications, 2018) Prabhavathi, TG; Ramani, R; Appa Rao, V; Narendra Babu, R; Ramesh, J; Vanitha, A; Jayanthi, R; Nithin Kumar, GN; TANUVASA study on the bioconversion of chicken feathers (Broiler and Desi) by microbial degradation to extract keratin and in turn produce biopolymer was carried out in the Department of Livestock Products Technology (Meat Science), Madras Veterinary College, Chennai-7. Seven trials were carried out each with the broiler and desi feathers. The extracted keratin was lyophilized and evaluated for pH, yield, protein, fat and instrumental color analysis. The molecular characteristics were also studied by using FT-IR. The study revealed that there was no significant difference (P>0.05) in the yield, pH, protein, fat, redness, yellowness, hue and chroma values of keratin extracted from both the chicken feathers. There was a high significant difference (P>0.05) between lightness of keratin extracted from broiler and desi chicken feathers. FT-IR spectroscopy analysis of keratin indicated the presence of an α-helix structure, a β-sheet type and the disulphide bonds existing in the sample which characterized that the extracted content was keratin. Keratin biopolymer was prepared from the extracted keratin by a casting technique.ArticleItem Open Access Occupational health hazards in veterinarians- A review(2021) Jayanthi, R; Boopathy Raja, M; TANUVASVeterinarians are the medical professional who protects the health and well-being of animals. Role of veterinarians are diagnose, control and treat the animal diseases with proper care and restraining. The close contact with the animals makes them susceptible to many harmful health hazards and great risk of being infected or injured. Physical, chemical and biological hazards are very common in veterinary profession. Veterinarians deal with small animals to wild animals and heath inspection to meat inspection. This kind of various activities makes them to expose different health hazards. Lack of knowledge about occupational health hazards and safety precautions in the working environment may enhance the risk of several occupational hazards in veterinarians. Hence, awareness about the occupational health hazards, nature and sources of various hazards, safety and preventive measures, health and safety guidance followed in the working environment should be strictly followed to avoid occupational health hazard in veterinary field and maintain a healthy profession.ArticleItem Open Access Occupational health hazards in veterinarians- A review(2021) Jayanthi, R; Boopathy Raja, M; TANUVASVeterinarians are the medical professional who protects the health and well-being of animals.

The study employed random sampling procedure subjected to stratified classification for farmers category which consists of total 45 sample farmers which were exclusively selected from North-Eastern agro-climatic zone of Tamil Nadu, with help of pre-tested questionnaire during the year 2013-2014. The results show that, the analysis of socio-economic profile showed that 13.30 percent were illiterates. 40.00 percent were landless and 68.88 percent were from middle age group and only 6.64 percent were females. About 78 percent farmers had an experience less than 5 years. Further, the study also revealed that, the housing pattern of swine farms in the study area revealed that among the sample farms, 68.89 percent had thatched type housing and 4.44 percent the farms were under concrete roof. The study concludes that, the swine farming is observed as major livelihood activities especially in study area among the sample respondents and also providing employment opportunity for the sample farmers. Hence, these kinds of attributes related to enhancing socio-economic conditions can boost the standard of living of the farmers who have engaged in swine farming in rainfed areas.
