The present research work was conducted to investigate the effect of percoll density gradient method on quality of enriched semen and quantify the X-sperm enrichment by Raman spectroscopy in buffalo bull semen. Semen samples collected by artificial vagina method from murrah buffalo bull with mass motility ˃+3 and progressive motility ˃70% were considered for the st...
The present investigation describes tissue culture studies on organogenesis via X-ray treated callus derived from cotyledonary explant of tomato (Lycopersicon escuIentum L.) vars. Junagadh Ruby and MahabaIeshwar-2 to explore the possibility of creating variability which could be used to supplement the conventional breeding programmes. Experiments were conducted usi...
The present research work was conducted to investigate the effect of percoll density gradient method of X-sperm semen enrichment on fertility of semen, conception rate and sex ratio. Semen samples collected by artificial vagina method from two cross-bred bovine bulls with mass motility of ˃ +3 and progressive motility ˃ 70% were considered for the study. Fres...

A 9 months old Japanese quail revealed a yellowish to red rm, circumscribed, well demarcated and elevated nodule of 5 mm in diameter in the ventral abdomen. On histopathological examination, the cutaneous nodule revealed in ltration of foamy macrophages with an eccentric nucleus, multinucleated giant cells and varying degree of lymphocytic in ltration in...
Mammary tumours are the most common neoplasms in female dogs. The present study was designed to evaluate the relationship between different clinical stages with activities of phase I and phase II carcinogen-metabolizing enzymes in canine mammary tumours. The levels of cytochrome P450 and cytochrome b5 and the activities of glutathione S-transferase (GST), y-glutamy...
Xenotransfusion study was performed in 10 severly anaemic cats brought to the University Veterinary Hospital, Mannuthy and Kokkalai. Blood typing was done in 40 cats from Thrissur district. Persian and non-pedigree domestic cats were blood typed using a commercial kit following the principle of immunochromatographic method. Among the 40 cats, 38 belonged to t...
