ArticleItem Open Access BACTERIAL FLORA FROM DEAD-IN-SHELL JAPANESE QUAIL EMBRYOS AND THEIR DRUG RESISTANCE(2009) Malmarugan, S; Jagadeeswaran, D; Rajendran, K; Dorairajan, N; TANUVASA study was carried out to determine the bacterial flora in dead in shell embryos from commercial quail hatcheries operating in Namakkal, Tamil Nadu. Among one hundred and twenty quail eggs failed to hatch at termination of incubation were collected, 58 isolates of bacteria comprising of Escherichia coli (29), Klebsiella spp (14 ), Staphylococcus spp (10), Salmonella spp (5) were cultured. The incubation period of Japanese quail eggs to hatch is 18 days. The level of bacterial contamination in quail eggs failing to hatch at 18th day of incubation was 70%. The antibiotic sensitivity pattern revealed that highest sensitivity were seen to Chloramphenicol (82.7%), Amoxycillin (70.6), Ciprofloxacin (60.3) and Gentamicin (48.27%) but were quite resistant to Oxytetracycline, Lincomycin and Co-trimaxazole.ArticleItem Open Access BROILER INDUSTRY - UNDERSTANDING THE INTEGRATION AND ROLE OF PRIVATE INDUSTRIES(TANUVAS, 2014-11) Rajendran, K; Mani, K; Shamsudeen, P; Vasanthakumar, T; TANUVASTotal turnover of the poultry industry per annum is about 60,000 crores.

India produces 350 crore Kgs of poultry meat per year (South India produces around 125 crore Kgs) Per capita consumption of poultry meat is 2.80 Kgs in India (Per capita consumption of poultry meat in South India is 6.5 Kgs)ArticleItem Open Access Carcass Characteristics of Broilers Fed With Glucose, Egg Powder and Whey Powder During Juvenile Period(The Indian Veterinary Journal, 2016-08) Prabakar, G; Moorthy, M; Mani, K; 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.ThesisItem Open Access Cost of Milk Production in Different Species and Breeds of Bovines(TANUVAS, 1992) Ramaradj, Shanmugam; TANUVAS; Prabaharan, R; Edwin, M. John; Rajendran, KArticleItem Open Access Demonstration of Osseous Tissue in Quail Embryo by Alizarin Red Technique(Excellent Publishers, 2018-06) Iniyah, K; Jayachitra, S; Balasundaram, K; Rajendran, K; TANUVASThe embryonated Namakkal quail eggs were collected from the hatchery at tenth and fourteenth day of incubation. The eggs were opened by standard technique and the embryos were collected and stained by alizarin red staining technique to demonstrate the osseous tissue development. The scapula, coracoid, clavicle and proximal bones of wing were well developed in both tenth and fourteenth day embryos. But the fusion of pelvic girdle with the synsacrum and the distal bones of wing were completely developed only in fourteenth day embryo. The femur, tibia, fibula, tibiotarsus, tarsometatarsus and digits were found like a rod of bones without distinct joints in tenth day embryo. Skull bones, vertebral bones and ribs were fully ossified in fourteenth day quail embryos. But the sternal ossification was not observed by alizarin red staining technique in both the quail embryos. A ring of scleral ossicles in the sclera around the margin of cornea were distinctly observed in both the embryos studied.ThesisItem Open Access An Economic Evaluation of Marketing of Eggs in Salem District(TANUVAS, 1996) Kathiravan, G; TANUVAS; Rajendran, K; Prabaharan, R; Radhakrishnan, TOtherItem Open Access Effect of Dietary Levels of Calcium, Carnitine and Zinc on Semen Quality Characteristics of Cross-Bred Chicken(TANUVAS, 2014-12) Prabhakar, R; Moorthy, M; Edwin, S.C.; Kumar, V.

The results of the experiment revealed that dietary inclusion of black pepper had significant influence (P<0.05) on the body weight, body weight gain, feed consumption and feed conversion ratio of Japanese quail.ArticleItem Open Access Effect of increased level of fertilizers on Bt cotton and green fodder yield under cotton + legume fodder intercropping system of western zone of Tamil Nadu(2018-02) Daisy, M; Rajendran, K; Senthilkumar, K, et al.; TANUVASA Field experiment was conducted during Kharif 2015-16 and 2016-17 at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Veterinary College and Research Institute campus, Namakkal, Tamil Nadu to assess the performance of increased level of fertilizers on yield of Bt cotton and green fodder yield under intercropping situation as part of Ph.D., research programme. Cotton yield was significantly higher (2029 and 1507 kg ha-1) in the Bt cotton + moth bean intercropping system during both years experimentation and lower was recorded under Bt cotton + fodder cowpea intercropping system. Application of 150% RDF resulted that the significantly higher cotton yield of 1991 kg ha-1 and 1474 kg ha-1 during 2015-2016 and 2016-2017, respectively. But, intercropping of fodder cowpea with Bt cotton had higher seed cotton equivalent yield and net returns with application of 150% recommended dose of fertilizers. Fodder cowpea with application of 150% RDF produced higher green fodder yield 17407 and 14431 kg ha-1 during first and second year respectively. Lower fodder yield was recorded under Bt cotton + pillipesera with 100% RDF application and it recorded 2788 kg ha-1 and 1112 kg ha-1 during 2015-2016 and 2016-2017, respectively.ThesisItem Open Access Effectiveness of Selected Extension Methods in Transfer of Technology(TANUVAS, 1993) Nachimuthu, K; TANUVAS; Subramanian, R; Krishnaraj, R; Rajendran, KThesisItem Open Access Evaluation of Different Chicken Varieties for Tropical Adaptability(TANUVAS, 2013) Rajan, R.

Senthil; TANUVAS; Subramanian, R; Kanakaraj, P; Rajendran, KArticleItem Open Access Performance of Commercial Broiler Chicken Fed With Soya Oil Cake(2020-04) Sonale, NS; Rajendran, K; Moorthy, M; Kathirvelan, C; TANUVASA study was undertaken in commercial broiler chicken to assess the effect of dietary supplementation of different levels of soya oil cake on production performance of in environmentally controlled housing system. Two hundred and fty one day-old, commercial feathered sexed broiler chicks were randomly grouped into ve treatments with ve replicates containing ten chicks each. The results of the experiment revealed that the group T3 and T4 had signi cantly higher body weight and higher body weight gain than the other treatment and control groups. The cumulative feed consumption was signi cantly lowest in the treatment groups T1 and T2 and the feed conversion ratio was signi cantly (P<0.05) better in T3 and T4 groups.
