A CLINICAL STUDY ON PROSTATIC DISEASES OF DOGS
(Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2008) KIREN MENON, B.V.Sc
The prostate gland is the only accessory gland in dogs and its secretions account for 97 per cent of the ejaculate. It is a bilobed gland with a median furrow, opens into the urethra through the entire length of the gland and is located at the neck of the bladder. It is supportive in function and it aids in passage of spermatozoa into the uterus of the bitch and provides certain factors for their survival and nourishment. The prostate is under the influence of the hormone testosterone throughout its life and tends to increase in size with progressive advancement of age (Berry et al, 1986). Beyond a certain period, the enlargement of the gland exerts its effects on the nearby structures, which manifests as clinical signs of a prostatic disease and the same has been described based on their etiology and manifestations

A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON BREEDING, LARVAL REARING AND GROW-OUT OF AMUR CARP AND LOCAL COMMON CARP
(KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2019) DETTY NEBU; N. BASAWARAJ
The present study was undertaken to compare the breeding, nursery and grow-out rearing of Amur carp and local strain of common carp in coastal Karnataka. The brooders of Amur and common carp were bred simultaneously with an inducing agent, Spawn pro. Observations indicated that Spawn pro (sGnRH and domperidone) induced 100% spawning in both the strains of common carp, with response time varying between 8-10 h at 27 °C and there was a significant difference in fecundity and fertilization rate between injected and uninjected fish. Amur carp was less fecund than local common carp; the average relative fecundity per gram of body weight was 102 and 157 in Amur and local common carp, respectively. The fertilization rate was not significantly different in Amur (90.81) and local common carp (84.56), whereas hatching rate and spawn survival were significantly higher in Amur (85.64 and 81.95) than local strain (74.54 and 72.3). In all the stages of growth, viz. spawn, fry and fingerling, Amur carp grew faster than local common carp. Survival rate was similar in both the strains. Amur carp did not reach fully maturity within five months of rearing, whereas 30% of local common carp was in the mature stage under the same conditions. For both sexes, the GSI was higher for local common carp than the Amur carp. The length-weight relationship indicated that Amur carp followed isometric growth at fingerling stage. The b value was higher in Amur carp (b=3.005), which confirmed that it attained weight faster than length than the local common carp, which had b value of 2.985. Relative condition factor (Kn) was higher in local common carp than that of Amur strain. Throughout the study period, Kn was above 1.0 in both the groups which indicated the good condition of fish in the rearing systems.

(KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2021) MEENAKSHI, R. N.; R. NAGARAJA)
The PCR-RFLP and SSCP polymorphisms of Myostatin (exon 1 and intron 1) and FABP3 (intron 3) genes were compared between Mandya and Yalaga sheep using the genomic DNA obtained from 50 each of Mandya and Yalaga sheep breeds. The Myostatin (497 bp and 414 bp) and FABP3 (355 bp) gene sequences were amplified by PCR employing published primers. PCR-RFLP analysis of Myostatin gene (497 bp) with DraI restriction enzyme revealed two genotypes, AB and BB with frequencies of 0.34 and 0.66 in Mandya sheep and 0.12 and 0.88 in Yalaga sheep, respectively. The allele frequencies for A and B were 0.17 and 0.83 in Mandya sheep and 0.06 and 0.94 in Yalaga sheep, respectively. PCR-RFLP analysis of FABP3 gene with BanII restriction enzyme revealed two genotypes, AA and AG with frequencies of 0.66 and 0.34 in Mandya sheep and 0.08 and 0.92 in Yalaga sheep, respectively. The gene frequencies for A and G were 0.83 and 0.17 in Mandya and 0.54 and 0.46 in Yalaga sheep, respectively. Multiple sequence alignment of B allele sequences of Myostatin (497 bp) gene and A allele sequences of FABP3 gene in Mandya and Yalaga sheep revealed T>C transition at 64 bp and C>T transition at 174 bp in Yalaga sheep. PCR-SSCP analysis of Myostatin (414 bp) gene revealed two genotypes, AA and AB with frequencies of 0.74 and 0.26 in Mandya sheep and 0.78 and 0.22 in Yalaga sheep, respectively. The gene frequencies for A and B were 0.87 and 0.13 and 0.89 and 0.11 in Mandya and Yalaga sheep, respectively. The alignment of A and B alleles of Myostatin gene in Mandya and Yalaga sheep revealed two SNPs: G>T transversion at position 46 bp and G>T transversion at position 287 bp in Yalaga sheep.

(KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR-585 401, 2022) ANITHA M; V. JAGADEESWARY
India is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world, affecting overall 85 per cent of Indian land and more than fifty million people. Livestock in particular have remained highly vulnerable to almost all sort of natural disaster but the most frequent and vulnerable of all types is the occurrence of flood. The state of Karnataka was hit by severe floods in year 2019 which left a great impact on people as well as on the livestock. Hence the study was conducted in Belagavi and Kalaburgi divisions of Karnataka with total sample size of 320 livestock farmers and 40 Veterinary Officers. “Ex-post-facto” research design was adopted. The result of the study revealed that, majority of the respondents were men (69.75%), middle aged (49.69%), had middle school education (23.12%), had medium family size (38.43%), lived in nuclear family (75.00%), belonged to OBC category (40.62%) and due to flood there was no damage to animal house occurred (48.75%) followed by partially collapsed (45.63%) and completely collapsed animal house (5.62%). Majority of the respondents did not build any new animal house (48.75%), During flood majority of respondents, used flood water as the source of drinking water (56.25%) and decrease in crop production due to flood (MS 75.79) was major economic impact perceived by livestock farmers during flood. Fodder storage and shortage (MS 71.46) was the major challenge faced by livestock farmers. The major constraint was inadequate financial resource (MS 65.32). Majority of the respondents had adopted high mitigation measures in concerned with feeding management (48.44%), health care management (55.63%), and marketing management (38.44%), whereas medium mitigation measures as far as housing was concerned (51.25%). Majority of the Veterinary Officers adopted high livestock management measures (72.50%) during flood. Outbreak of various contagious diseases (MS 74.15) was major constraint faced by Veterinary Officers during flood

A PARTICIPATORY ACTION RESEARCH ON RAM LAMB FATTENING – AN ENTERPRISE IN RURAL AREAS
(KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR 585401, 2022) N. GIRIRAJ; K.C. VEERANNA
The participatory action research approach coupled with cross-sectional survey and focused group discussion was adopted and identified, mortality of ram lambs during the initial period of fattening, the incidence of diseases, inadequate scientific knowledge in sheep management, lack of proper training and information on ram lamb fattening, lack of knowledge on the selection of lambs, and unorganized markets as the prioritized constraints in ram lamb fattening entrepreneurship in rural areas of south interior Karnataka. To address these prioritized constraints an extension education intervention coupled with strategic health care management intervention was designed and implemented in selected ram lamb fattening enterprises through participatory research methods. The evaluation of strategic health care intervention, indicated maximum benefits in intervention enterprises (89.17 per cent rams available for sale, mortality rate: 10.83 per cent, specific disease incidence level: 20.72 per cent) in comparison with non-intervention enterprises (67.50 per cent rams available for sale, mortality rate: 32.50 per cent, specific disease incidence level: 51.06 per cent). Cost-benefit analysis of ram lamb fattening revealed that the net returns per ram lamb per fattening period of 240 days was Rs 4,600/- and Rs 2,953/- in small and large enterprises respectively. The net return per lamb per day was worked out to Rs. 19.16 /- and Rs. 12.30/- with a cost-benefit ratio of 1: 1.42.and 1:1.25 in small and large ram lamb fattening enterprises. Small entrepreneurs have perceived improvement in their self-reliance, and income stability of their households to some extent. But on the contrary, many large entrepreneurs were ambiguous in their views about transformation to their socio-economic status from lamb fattening entrepreneurship in the study area.

A STUDY ON BEHAVIOURAL TRAITS AND PERFORMANCE OF HASSAN LAMBS REARED ON DIFFERENT FLOOR TYPES UNDER INTENSIVE SYSTEM
(KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2022) BASAVARAJ, H. KAREBHARAMANNAVAR; GURUPRASAD, R.
A study was conducted to assess the effect of different floor types (T1: Mud/soil, T2: Concrete, T3: Concrete with Rubber Mat) on growth performance, feed and DMI, biometry, physiological parameters, blood-biochemical parameters, behavioural traits, dirt score, EPG and OPG count, hoof condition in growing Hassan lambs under intensive system. Statistical analysis of the obtained data revealed nonsignificant difference among the treatment groups with respect to, body weight gain, feed and DMI, biometric measurements, physiological parameters (pulse rate, respiration rate), blood-biochemical parameters, overall mean values of EPG and OPG count, hoof length. Whereas, the ADG (g) and rectal temperature (ºF) were statistically significant (P<0.05). The time (min) spent on standing and lying by lambs had significant difference (P<0.05) among the three floor types. The highest standing time (min) was recorded in T2 group followed by T1 and T3 groups, while lying time (min) was significantly (P<0.05) lower in T2 group compared to T1 and T3 groups. There was no significant difference of time (min) spent on eating, drinking and licking behaviours. Significantly lower (P<0.05) dirt score was observed in lambs reared on mud floor than concrete floor followed by rubber mat floor. The lambs reared on rubber mat floor shown higher dirt score throughout the study period. Results of the present study indicated that the lambs reared on rubber mat floor were more comfortable than the lambs reared on mud and concrete floor.
