ArticleItem Open Access Association of House Fly (Musca domsestica) Intensity by Spot Card and Manure Moisture in Caged Layer Houses(Excellent Publishers, 2018-02) Sathiyamoorthy, N; Senthilvel, K; Rani, N; Ramya, K; Ponnudurai; TANUVASHouse fly intensity at five different poultry farms in Namakkal region of Tamil Nadu was monitored by spot cards. A plain white sheet of 12.5×7.5 cm square was pinned to thermocole of similar size and tied to cages above two feet from the floor in narrow caged poultry houses and three feet above from the floor in high rise caged poultry houses. After 24 hours, the spot cards were removed and the regurgitation and faecal spots made by adult flies were counted. The mean number of fly specks per card was 59 ± 8 in farm-I, 195 ± 28 in farm-II, 63 ± 12 in farm-III, 34 ± 5 in farm-IV and 101 ± 19 in farm-V. About 50 gms of manure collected in different points of selected farms were pooled and moisture estimation was carried out by oven drying method. The moisture content of manure was 67.49, 86.32, 48.64, 41.56 and 79.11 per cent in farm-I, farm-II, farm-III, farm-IV and farm-V respectively. Higher fly population was observed in farms (I, II and V) that had manure moisture content > 60 per cent and mild to moderate level was noticed in farms (III and IV) with moisture level ranged between 40 and 50 per cent.ArticleItem Open Access Pharmacological Features of Bioactive Milk Components: An Overview(2017-09) Sankar, P; Ramya, K; TANUVASMilk proteins are of immense high nutritional significance for human beings and also possess diverse functional properties like immunological protection and antioxidant effect. In general, the major protein fractions in bovine milk include caseins, immune globulins, lacto-ferrin, proteose-peptide fractions and minor whey proteins such as transfer in and serum albumin. In recent years milk proteins have attracted growing scientific and commercial interest as a source of biologically active molecules.ArticleItem Open Access SOMATIC CELL COUNT IN DIFFERENT STAGES OF LACTATION IN ORGANIZED VS UNORGANIZED LACTATING DAIRY COWS-A REPORT(2016-12) Ramya, K; Anandha Prakash Singh, D; Anbazhagan, S, et al.,; TANUVASSubclinical mastitis in dairy animals remains a hidden threat to the dairy farmers as it does not present apparent signal. One of the techniques used to monitor the level or occurrence of subclinical mastitis in herds or individual cows or quarters is to determine the somatic cell count (SCC) of milk samples. The somatic cells of milk are mainly leukocytes, which include macrophages, lymphocytes and neutrophils which are involved in the defence against invading microorganisms. Thus, the number of SCC in milk sample is an indicator of subclinical mastitis. The present study was undertaken to compare the health status of lactating dairy cows of organized (ILFC, VCRI, Namakkal) and unorganized dairy farms, respectively at different stages of lactation. The midstream milk samples from the dairy cows were analyzed as per the protocol mentioned in the ABT-SCC Quick count kit (TANUVAS). The results were read and compared with the score card provided with the kit. The SCC of animals in organized farm were in the range of 1,00,000 to 2,00,000 per ml of milk and among the animals in unorganized farm, the animals in late stage of lactation had SCC of 3,00,000 per ml and other animals had 1,00,000 per ml. The somatic cell counts of the animals under study were within the agreed limit for subclinical mastitis i.e., 5,00,000 per ml of milk. The result of the present study reveals that regardless of the management practices followed in organized and unorganized farms the animals are acquainted to their environment and generate resistance and are free from subclinical mastitis.Book chapterItem Open Access காது அழற்சியினால் பாதிக்கப்பட்ட நாய்களில் இருந்து தனிமைப்படுத்தப்பட்ட பாக்டீயாக்களுக்கு எதிராக செயல்படும் திறன் கொண்ட ஆன்டிபயாடிக் மருந்துகளைக் கண்டறிதல்(2017) Sowmiya, PV; Sumitha, P; Ramya, K; Sukumar, K; TANUVASBook chapterItem Open Access வெவ்வேறு கறக்கும் நிலையில் உள்ள கறவை மாடுகளின் பாலிலுள்ள வெள்ளை அணுக்களின் எண்ணிக்கையும் மேலாண்மை முறையும் ஒரு ஆய்வு(2017) Ramya, K; Ananda Prakash Singh, D; Gunaseelan, L; TANUVAS
