    Growth and Hatch Performance of Geese in Hilly Terrain of Nilgris
    (2009-11) Anil Kumar, R; Iyue, M; Venkataramanan, R; TANUVAS
    Literatures on performance of geese under Indian conditions are very limited. The present work was under taken to study the growth and hatch performance of geese maintained at Sheep Breeding Research Station, Sandynallah. The Niligiris district.

    The Effect of Karanja (Pongamia glabra Vent) Cake on the Performance of White Leghorn Pullets
    (1989-03) Natanam, R; Kadirvel, R; Viswanathan, K; TANUVAS
    A 22-week trial, using 90 White Leghorn pullets of 18 weeks of age was carried out to compare karanja cakes which had been processed in various ways and included in diets at the 10% level. The value of supplementing the diets with DL-methionine and choline chloride was also investigated. The average age at maturity of pullets fed on the control diet was 188 days, whereas it was 205 days for pullets fed on a diet containing expeller karanja cake. The body weight at maturity did not differ significantly between treatments. Egg production was significantly lower for groups receiving karanja cake diets (32.1-43.2%) than for the control diet (53.6%). The feed efficiency (3.64-4.58 kg feed kg -1 eggs) was poorer in karanja-cake groups than in the control group (2.89 kg). The eggs produced by the birds fed on karanja-cake diets were, in general, poorer in quality than eggs from the control group.

    Nutritive Value of Pungam (Pongamia glabra Vent) Cake for Sheep
    (1988-05) Chandrasekaran, D; Kadirvel, R; Viswanathan, K; TANUVAS
    The nutritive value of pungam cake (syn. Hindi: karanja), the oil-extracted residue of seeds of the pungam tree, for sheep was assessed by digestion trials. The cake contained (in percent dry matter) crude protein, 24.6; ether extract, 14.0; crude fibre, 6.0; tannin, 2.6. The fibre fractions of cake (in percent) were neutral detergent fibre (NDF), 37.7; acid detergent fibre (ADF), 11.3; lignin, 3.2; hemicellulose, 26.4; cellulose, 8.1. The ADF nitrogen was only 12.1% of total nitrogen. The apparent digestion coefficients for various nutrients were dry matter, 85.3; organic matter, 79.7; crude protein, 85.9; crude fibre, 30.8; ether extract, 75.6. The digestible crude protein (DCP) and total digestible nutrients (TDN) values were 20.8 and 93.1%, respectively. Dry matter and organic matter disappearances of 92.3 and 93.5%, respectively, were observed in the digestibility in vitro studies after 48 h incubation. Adult sheep receiving 94 g of pungam cake, 31 g of ground nut cake and basal roughage maintained a positive nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus balance. Pungam cake had to be introduced gradually into the sheep ration to minimise problems in acceptability.

    Prospects of bacteriophage therapy in modern medicine
    (2009) Rawat, Mayank; Sureshkannan, S; Verma, Rishendra; TANUVAS
    Bacteriophages (phages) were used for the therapy of infectious diseases soon alter their discovery during the earlier part of twentieth century. Once antibiotics were discovered. interest in phage therapy waned in the Western and Asian countries. But countries of Eastern Europe and the former USSR continued not only to practice this modality of treatment against infectious diseases but also developed it through consistent research efforts.
