ArticleItem Open Access Carcass Characteristics of Broilers Fed With Glucose, Egg Powder and Whey Powder During Juvenile Period(Indian Veterinary Association, 2016-08) Prabakar, G.; Moorthy, M.; Mani, K.; Mohan, B.; Rajendran, K.; Kirubakaran, A.; TANUVASA biological trial was conducted at in commercial broiler chicks from 0 to 6 weeks of age by supplementing different levels glucose, egg powder, whey powder and their combination to the basal diet The supplementation of glucose, egg powder, whey powder and their combination in the diet of broilers had significant influence on per cent yield of eviscerated (P<0.05), ready- to- cook; (P<0.05), liver (P<0.01) and giblet (P<0.05) weight at sixth week of age.ArticleItem Open Access Effect of Fenugreek, Garlic and Black Pepper Supplementation on Chemical Properties of Fresh and Frozen Broiler Meat(Indian Veterinary Journal, 2016-12) Kirubakaran, A.; Moorthy, M.; Chitra, R.; Prabakar, G.; TANUVASA study was conducted to find out the influence of fenugreek, garlic and black pepper powder supplementation on fresh and frozen meat of broiler. A total of 224 day-old cobb-400 broiler chicks were randomly divided into seven groups with four replicates of 8 chicks each and reared up to 6 weeks. Significant differences were found in (P<0.05) in tyrosine and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) value in fresh and frozen thigh and breast muscle when compared to control group. The polyphenols and avonoids in fenugreek and garlic decreased the muscle fat oxidation. The high inclusion level of fenugreek (10g/kg) and garlic (10g/Kg) responsible for reduce the tyrosine and TBARS value in fresh and frozen meat.ArticleItem Open Access Effect of Phytoadditive Supplementation on Broiler Carcass Characteristics(Indian Veterinary Journal, 2016-12) Kirubakaran, A.; Moorthy, M.; Chitra, R.; Prabakar, G.; TANUVASThe present study was undertaken to find the carcass characteristics of broiler by feeding different level of fenugreek, garlic and black pepper powder supplementation. Significant differences were found in eviscerated weight, ready to cook weight, liver weight, giblet weight and abdominal fat weight between dietary treatments. The results indicating that digestive stimulant effect of black pepper had increased the eviscerated weight (74.29%). The anticholesterolemic effect of fenugreek significantly reduced the abdominal fat deposition in treated group (0.77%) compared with the control group (0.85%). The black pepper powder at high level of inclusion (10g/kg) and fenugreek powder at high levels of inclusion (10g/kg) also significantly increased the eviscerated weight and reduced the abdominal fat deposition.ArticleItem Open Access Equine Brucellosis: Review On Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, Clinical Signs, Prevention And Control(2016-12) Karthik, K.; Prabakar, G.; Bharathi, R.; Khurana, Sandip Kumar; Dhama, Kuldeep; TANUVASBrucellosis is one of the major zoonotic diseases that affect several domestic animals, wild animals and also marine mammals. Though there is no specific Brucella sp. that can affect horses, B. abortus and B. suis can affect horses naturally and B. canis experimental infection has also been reported in equines. Brucellosis in equines is characterized by two conditions namely Poll evil and fistulous withers. Organism has its predilection for joints, ligaments and tendons in case of equines and causes inflammatory conditions leading to formation of fistula. Equine brucellosis has been documented from several parts of the world and prevalence has been reported time to time mostly based on serological diagnosis. Diagnosis of brucellosis mainly depends on serological methods though isolation of the organism is the gold standard. Due to hazardous nature of the pathogen, tests like Rose Bengal plate agglutination test, Standard tube agglutination test and other serological assays are commonly employed. Isothermal amplification assay like LAMP are gaining momentum these years due to swiftness in diagnosis of the pathogen. LAMP with high specificity and sensitivity for detection of Brucella spp. and also B. abortus has been developed in the recent years. Prevention and control of brucellosis is of utmost important to halt the spread of the organism to other animals and human. Trauma is a major reason for predisposition of poll evil and fistulous withers hence proper fitting of saddle will help to prevent the disease. Housing and feeding the horses separately can prevent spread of disease from cattle. The present review discusses equine brucellosis, its epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical signs along with appropriate prevention and control strategies to be adapted.ArticleItem Open Access Glucose, egg powder and whey powder supplementation in pre-starter broiler diet affecting lipid profile and intestinal development(Indian Poultry Science Association, 2016-12) Prabakar, G.; Moorthy, M.; Mani, K.; Kirubakaran, A.; Rajendran, K.; TANUVASA study was carried out to find out the changes in serum parameters, muscle cholesterol and intestinal villi of broilers at six weeks of age fed with glucose, egg and whey powder during early growth period (0-7 days). A total of 256 chicks were divided into eight treatment groups with four replicates. Pre-starter diets top dressed with 100 g of glucose, egg powder and whey powder each separately and in different combinations of 100g glucose+100g egg powder;100g glucose+100g whey powder and 100g glucose+100g egg powder+100g whey powder. After six weeks of growth period, broilers were slaughtered to collect serum, muscles and intestinal samples. Serum total cholesterol, LDL & HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, total protein, albumin, globulin, A/G ratio and muscle cholesterols were estimated. The serum total cholesterol, LDL and HDL cholesterol and triglycerides revealed were showing significant (P<0.05) improvement in treatment groups compared to control group (139.74, 66.39, 57.68 and 49.50 mg/dl respectively). Breast and thigh muscle cholesterol showed significant difference (P<0.05) by using whey powder fed group (81.40, 80.59 mg/dl) compared to control group. Intestinal villi length show significant increase (P<0.01) in whey powder fed group compared to control group. The whey powder and egg powder feeding leads to significantly increased serum total protein level (4.53 mg/dl). It was conclude that juvenile feeding of egg powder significantly reduced the cholesterol and triglycerides level in serum as well as muscle and also improved the total protein content.ArticleItem Open Access Influence of Combinations of Fenugreek, Garlic, and Black Pepper Powder on Production Traits of the Broilers(Veterinary World, 2016-05) Kirubakaran, A.; Moorthy, M.; Chitra, R.; Prabakar, G.; TANUVASAim: To study the effects of combinations of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.), garlic (Allium sativum), and black pepper (Piper nigrum) powder supplementation on production traits of broiler chickens. Materials and Methods: A total of 288 commercial broiler chicks were randomly assigned to 1-9 groups with 4 replicates each. An experiment was conducted in broilers with different feed formulations; control feed, with no added fenugreek, garlic, and black pepper powder; and 8 treatment groups receiving feed supplemented with different combinations of fenugreek, garlic, and black pepper powder. The individual broilers’ body weight and feed consumption were recorded and calculate the body weight gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Results: Broiler’s weight gain and FCR were significantly higher in groups receiving feed supplemented with garlic and black pepper powder combinations (p<0.01). Cumulative feed consumption was significantly higher in groups receiving feed supplemented with garlic and black pepper powder combinations (p<0.01). Conclusion: The combination of garlic and black pepper powder supplemented broiler feed fed groups showed higher production performance. The 5 g/kg garlic powder+1 g/kg black pepper powder and 10 g/kg garlic powder+2 g/kg black pepper powder significantly improved the weight gain and FCR.ThesisItem Open Access Performance of Broilers Fed with Glucose, Egg Powder and Whey Powder During Juvenile Period(TANUVAS, Chennai, 2014) Prabakar, G.; TANUVAS; Moorthy, M.; Mani, K.; Mohan, B.ArticleItem Open Access Production Performance of Broilers Fed with Glucose, Egg Powder and Whey Powder During Juvenile Period(Indian Veterinary Journal, 2016-02) Prabakar, G.; Moorthy, M.; Mani, K.; Mohan, B.; TANUVASThe biological trial was conducted by using two hundred fifty six commercial, sex separated, day-old broiler chicks. These chicks were randomly grouped into eight treatments with four replicates of eight chicks each and fed with basal diet as T1 (Control), T2 (Control + 100g of glucose/kg), T3 (Control + 100g of egg powder/kg), T4 (Control + 100g of whey powder/kg), T5 (Control + 100g of glucose + 100g of egg powder), T6 (Control + 100g of glucose + 100g of whey powder), T7 (Control + 100g of egg powder + 100g of whey powder) and T8 (Control + 100g of glucose + 100g of egg powder + 100g of whey powder). The experimental feed was formulated according to the standards prescribed in Bureau of Indian Standards by including viz. glucose, egg powder, whey powder and their combinations. The supplementation of glucose, egg powder, whey powder and their combination in the diet of broilers had significant difference in body weight (P<0.05) up to six weeks of age, body weight gain (P<0.05) from four to sixth weeks, feed consumption (P<0.05) at sixth week of age, cumulative feed consumption (P<0.01) at fifth and sixth week of age and feed conversion ratio (P<0.01) at fifth and sixth week of age. The dietary treatments had no significant effect on livability.OtherItem Open Access Water Supplementation of Rock Bee Pollen (RBP) on Production Performance of Meat-type Japanese Quail(TANUVAS, 2013-08) Edwin, S.C.; Muthuraman, M.; Amutha, R.; Stephenson, B.
