    Effect of jaggery on the quality and intake levels of maize silage
    (2010) Venkataramanan, Ragothaman; Sreekumar, Chirukandoth; Anilkumar, Rishipal; Selvaraj, P, et al.,; TANUVAS
    Silage, which is anaerobically fermented green fodder, is valued throughout the world as a source of animal feed during lean months. Several farms in India use carbohydrate sources like jaggery or molasses at 2% for preparation of silage, and this increases cost of production. The present study was undertaken to assess the effect of jaggery on quality and intake of maize silage, with an objective to find out whether additional carbohydrate source is essential in preparation of silage using green maize. Three silage types, one without jaggery (A), the second with 1% jaggery (B), and the third with 2% jaggery (C) were prepared in cylindrical bins under similar conditions. They were compared for colour, pH, lactic acid bacteria count, lactic acid content, proximate composition and silage intake by sheep. Silage type C with 2% jaggery was significantly different from the other two types with values of 3.98 and 805.66 g for pH and mean silage intake, respectively. Even though the values of pH and dry matter intake for all three silage types were within normal levels, silage type C was significantly superior in terms of fermentation and palatability. The method of preparation followed could be ideal for small holder farmers requiring less quantity of silage.

    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.

    Effect of nitrate and nitrate reducing bacteria on methane production in growing Murrah buffaloes
    (2013-06) Sakthivel, PC; Kamra, DN; Agarwal, N, et al.; TANUVAS
    Presently, India possesses 57% of world’s buffalo and 16% of cattle population. Contribution of methane emission by Indian buffaloes is 42% (Chhabra et al., 2009). The addition of altemate electron acceptors to the rumen seems to be a logical mean of reducing methane emission, So the aim of the present study was to assess the effect of nitrate on methane production in growing Murrah buffaloes.

    Optimization of Level of Concentration of a Herb in Inducing Cell Death in Cancer Cells
    (2017) Sakthi Priya, M; Dhinakar Raj, G; Vijayanand, T; TANUVAS
    A qualitative assay to optimize the level of concentration of aqueous and hydro alcoholic leaf extracts of T inospora cordifolia in inducing death on tumor cell line MCF-7 was conducted in-vilro at various concentrations of the extracts along with a positive and a negative control and their effect analysed by flow cytometry. The results revealed programmed cell death in the treatment groups compared with the positive control suggesting the lethal effect on the tumor cells increasing at highest concentration of the hydro-alcoholic extract. However it is suggested to study on the incubation period and the active principle identification before recommending for anticancer activity.

    Phytochemical Analysis, Molecular Docking and In Vitra Screening of Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitory Activity of Piper longum and Cardiaspermum halicacabum Leaves
    (2017) Yogeswari, R; Raja, A; Vikrama Chakravarthi, P; TANUVAS
    The secondary metabolites of the plants have served as phytotherapeutic medicine to protect against various diseases for centuries. Xanthine oxidase (X0) catalyses the metabolism of hypoxanthine to xanthine, and xanthine into uric acid, which is responsible for a common metabolic disorder in domestic birds called gout. Recently gout cases in 2-3 weeks old layers and broilers have been reported in Namakkal as well as in other parts of the country. Conventional or synthetic drugs used in the treatment of gout are costly and can have serious adverse effects.
