ArticleItem Open Access Comparative Evaluation of 8 Kda Antigen Based Serological Diagnostic Tests for Cystic Echinococcosis in cattle(Internation Journal of Veterinary Science, 2013-03) Jeyathilakan, N; Basith, S. Abdul; John, Lalitha; Chandran, N. Daniel Joy; Raj, G. Dhinakar; Pandian, Serma Saravana; TANUVASArticleItem Open Access Echidnophaga gallinacea on country chicken (Aseel) in different agro climatic zones of Tamil Nadu and its control by using herbal preparation(2020) Soundararajan, C.; Prabhu, K.P.; Arulprakash, M.; Divisha, R.; Pandian, Serma Saravana; TANUVASPoultry fleas are known to cause severe irritation, anemia, blindness and death in chicken. A total of 2580 country chicken (Aseel) from 12 villages of six districts and three agro-climatic zones in Tamil Nadu, India were examined for flea infestation from April 2019 to March 2020. The collected fleas were identified as Echidnophaga gallinacea. The overall prevalence of flea infestation in country chicken was 25.54% with western zone alone having 40.80% which was significantly (P< 0.01) higher than the north eastern and hill zones. The infestation was comparatively more in adult birds than chicks. Three different preparations were used to control the fleas in country chicken: a 1% Deltamethrin solution, ground Acorus calamus (Vasambu) powder made into a paste with coconut oil and Psidium guajava (common guava) leaf extracts. The preparations deltamethrin, vasambu paste and guava leaf extracts controlled flea infestation in the chicken after 2nd, 4th and 5th day of application, respectively.ArticleItem Open Access Livestock as a Source of Income Equity – An Evidence from Rural Tamil Nadu(2018) Senthilkumar, G; Selvakumar, KN; Prabu, M; Pandian, Serma Saravana; Valli, C; Thilakar, P; TANUVASA study was conducted to ascertain the role of livestock in ensuring income equity among the rural farmers of Tamil Nadu using randomly selected 540 sample households from six poverty prone districts of Tamil Nadu. The study period was August 2013 to October 2014. The sample respondents were post-stratified based on the occupation as crop cultivators, livestock farmers, fishermen, agricultural labourers and nonfarm workers, etc. The measures of income inequality viz. Gini coefficient (Gi), Theil’s L index and Theil’s T index were calculated and Lorenz curve was plotted to ascertain the income equity among different rural occupations. The income distribution curve of non-farm occupation was at more distance from line of equality indicating higher inequality (Gini co-efficient of 0.4216), followed by crop cultivators and fishing. The inequality was found to be less among livestock farmers (Gini co-efficient of 0.2350), as the livestock are giving stable and year-round income. Among different species of livestock, cattle had lowest income inequality (Gini co-efficient of 0.1868), followed by buffalo, goat and sheep. As the livestock component ensures income-equity, they might be encouraged and incorporated in poverty alleviation programmes. Among livestock based occupations, cattle and buffalo farming should be encouraged as the results indicated that these species ensures income equity.OtherItem Open Access Prevalence of Pinworm Infection in Laboratory Rodents with Emphasis on Speciation, Chemotherapy and TH2 Cytokine Profiling(TANUVAS, 2016-02) Sundar, S.T.

Daniel Joy; TANUVASTwo hundred two (202) (75.66%) sera out of 267 blood samples tested by microscopic agglutination test (MAT) were positive to 5 out of 12 Leptospira serovars namely australis, ballum, hardjo, hebdomadis and pomona. The sera were negative to rest 7 serovars autumnalis, canicola, grippotyphosa, icterohaemorrhagiae, javanica, pyrogenes and tarassovi. The study indicated current circulation of leptospiral serovars among buffaloes in Tamil Nadu.OtherItem Open Access Seroprevalence of Leptospirosis Among Buffaloes in Tamil Nadu(TANUVAS, Chennai, 2012-09) Balakrishnan, G.; Roy, Parimal; Puvarajan, B.; Pandian, Serma Saravana; Meenambigai, T.V.; Arunkumar, S.; Chandran, N.

Bino; Latha, Bhaskaran Ravi; Vijayashanthi, R.; Pandian, Serma Saravana; TANUVASA study was undertaken to find out the efficacy of (Z)-9-Tricosene in attracting flies in a garbage dump yard using a plywood sticky glue trap with fish meal as a food bait. (Z)-9-Tricosene was dissolved in acetone or hexane before application on a filter paper strip fixed at the centre of the trap. The traps were left in areas of the garbage dump yard of high fly activity for 6 h and then the trapped flies were counted species wise. Significantly more number of Musca domestica flies were caught in (Z)-9- Tricosene treated fish meal baited traps compared to those traps without (Z)-9-Tricosene. No significant difference was noted in trap catches in (Z)-9-Tricosene treated traps between the solvents acetone and hexane. In addition Sarcophaga sp. and Chrysomyia sp. flies were also caught in the traps.ArticleItem Open Access (Z)-9-Tricosene based Musca domestica lure study on a garbage dump yard using plywood sticky trap baited with fish meal(Journal Impact Factor, 2016-01) Sundar, S.T.
