ThesisItem Open Access COMPARATIVE EFFICACY OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF ANTIOXIDANT SERICIN IN EGG YOLK TRIS EXTENDER FOR CRYOPRESERVATION OF BOVINE SEMEN(DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY GYNAECOLOGY AND OBSTETRICS COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE & ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Patel Tapasvikumar M.; Dr. A.J. DhamiThis investigation was undertaken during winter season on three mature healthy pedigreed breeding bulls each of Gir cattle and Murrah buffalo breeds, with the aim to assess effect of different concentration of antioxidant Sericin in standard Tris fructose egg yolk glycerol (TFYG) extender for improving cryopreservation of cattle and buffalo semen based on sperm quality parameters, and assay of oxidative markers in seminal plasma of freshly diluted and cryopreserved semen, and thereby to find out the optimum level of Sericin that can be recommended for cryopreservation of bovine semen. Ten ejaculates were studied from each bull at weekly interval in a split-sample technique for spermatozoa quality traits, and representative six ejaculates for oxidative markers, viz., malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity in freshly diluted and frozen-thawed seminal plasma. Only the ejaculates with >70% initial motility were used.ThesisItem Open Access EFFECT OF CLOMIPHENE CITRATE (FERTIVET FVT 300) ON SEXUAL BEHAVIOUR AND SEMEN QUALITY IN SURTI BUFFALO BULLS(AAU, Anand, 1991) Doshi, M. B.; Derashri, H. J.The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of clomiphene citrate (Fertivet FVT 300) on sexual behaviour, semen quality and quantity and level of testosterons in eight Surti buffalo bulls. The experiment was divided into three phases : pre-treatment, during treatment and post-treatment; each of eight weeks keeping equal number of bulls as control. Significant (P /0.05) effect of treatment was observed on reaction time, semen volume, total sperm count, total solids, total protein, citric acid, potassium and (P /0.01) serum testosterone level. Sustained significant effect of treatment was observed on citric acid (P /0.05) and serum testosterone level (P /0.01) during post-treatment phase. Significant (P /0.05) correlations due to treatment were observed between reaction time (negative), colour and consistency; (P /0.01) total protein, citric acid and initial fructose and testosterone. It was concluded that treatment with clomiphene citrate increased the testosterone levels in blood which reduced the reaction time and increased the sperm concentration to a threshold level and activity of accessory sex glands. Post-treatment effects sustained only for few weeks.ThesisItem Open Access SUPEROVULATION, NON-SURGICAL RECOVERY AND EMBRYO TRANSFER IN THE WATER BUFFALO (Bubalus bubalis)(AAU, Anand, 1986) MOTWANI, KISHORE T.; Kodagali, S. B.Embryo transfer in dairy cattle is a tool to produce large number of high quality seed stock and to multiply the most desirable genotype. The present study was an attempt to adopt the standard superovulatory region, non-surgical recovery and embryo transfer technique of cattle to the water buffaloes. The experimental animals comprised of high yielding six Surti breed and six Mehsani breed buffaloes to serve as potential donors and five Surti breed buffaloes as recipients. The study was undertaken during the period from February to May, 1985 (summer).ThesisItem Open Access DIAGNOSTIC AND INVESTIGATIVE ANDROLOGY IN CROSS-BRED BULLS(AAU, Anand, 1985) PATEL, KISHORE V.; KODAGALI, S. B.A study on “Andrological Investigation of nine cross-bred bulls: was undertaken during the period of one year (cold, hot and wet seasons) at the Department of Veterinary Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Gujarat Veterinary College, Anand. The study included clinical examinations, evaluations of seminal characters, assay of seminal biochemical constituents and estimation of haematological parameters. Bulls were ranked, based on sperm motility, sperm concentration, abnormal sperm per cent and initial fructose (mg%),. Bulls were grouped into excellent sexual function/ESF(3), normal sexual function/NSF(4) and problem bulls (2).ThesisItem Open Access STUDIES ON ANOESTROUS CONDITION IN SURTI BUFFALOES AND TRIALS WITH CLOMIPHENE CITRATE(AAU, Anand, 1984) PANDYA, VINOD J.; KODAGALI, S. B.The present study on anoestrous condition was carried out on 185 Surti buffaloes and trials were made with clomiphene citrate for inducing of oestrus, evulation and pregnancy. The aspects of season, body score (condition), route and dosage of the drug, C.M.F.P. and certain biochemical profiles were studied and revealed following findings. 1. Season: There was significant difference in the number of oestrus induced in treatment group and occurrance of oestrus in control group during L.B.S. and H.B.S.ThesisItem Open Access STUDIES ON OESTRUS, OESTROUS CYCLE, SUPEROVULATION AND RECOVERY OF OVA WITH REFERENCE TO EMBRYO-TRANSFER IN SHEEP (Ovis aries)(AAU, Anand, 1984) PATEL, DIPAK C.; KODAGALI, S. B.The present study on “Oestrus, Cestrous cycle, Superovulation and recovery of ova with reference to embryo transfer in sheep (Ovis aries)” was carried out during two breeding seasons (April to June 1983 and 1984). The experimental animals were 15 healthy ewes of Patanwadi X Russian Merino (P X RM) type and 10 Marwadi Breed (MB) between 4 to 8 years of age and having normal breeding history. The aspects of the study included rectal and vaginal temperatures in different phases of oestrous cycle and oestrus and oestrous cycle length.ThesisItem Open Access STUDIES ON INTER-INSEMINATION LENGTHS ,GENITAL MICROFLORA AND BLOOD BIOCHEMICAL PROFILES IN SURTI BUFFALOES(AAU, Anand, 1982) Derashri, H. J.; Kodagali, S. B.The present study was undertaken with the objectives of knowing the pattern of inter-inseaination lengths and aberrations in oestrous cycle in Surti buffaloes; studying the micro-organisims from the cervico-vaginal raucus and their antibiotic sensitivity to find the effect of treatment on inter-insemination lengths and marking the blood biochemioal profile viz., blood glucose, serum alkaline phophatase, serum acid phosphatase, serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase in different reproductive conditions, The study was carried out at the college A.I. clinic attached to Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics. A total of 1434 inter-insemination lengths from 767 buffaloes (241 heifers and 526 buffaloes) pertaining to the period of 1975-76 and 1976-77, were calculated and analysed. The inter-insemination lengths were 36.74 and 37.74, 35.17 and 25.96, 12.37 and 15.62, 6.38 and 7.93, 4.03 and 3.85, 2.36 and 3.37, 1.37 and 3.37 and 1.08 and 2.16 per cent in the ranges of 1-20, 21-40, 41-60, 61-80, 81-100, 101-125, 126-150 and 151 & above days range in buffaloes and heifers, respectively. The aberrations in the oestrous cycle observed in buffaloes and heifers were 17.61 and 18.31 long oestrus/delayed ovulation (1-4 days); 10.42 and 11.74% very abort oestrous cycles (5-8 days); 11.17 and 10.33% mid cycle oestrus (9.12 days); 11.74 and 7.04% short oestrous cycles (13-17 days); 38.26 and 45.07% normal oestrous cycles (18-24 days) and 10.80 and 7.51% long oestrus cycles (25-28 days).ThesisItem Open Access STUDIES ON TRUE ANOESTROUS CONDITIONS IN SURTI BUFFALOES AND TRIALS WITH "PRAJANA"(AAU, Anand, 1982) SHAH, I. M.; KODAGALI, S. B.The present study on “True anoestrous conditions in Surti buffaloes and trials with Prajana” revealed the following salient points. 1. Incidence of true anoestrum: The incidences of true anoestrum conditions were higher during low brreding season (March to August) and lower during high breeding season (September to February) in Surti breed buffaloes. The incidences were also higher in buffaloes than in the heifer class. 2. Results: The over all results with Prajana injections and capsules tried in 107 animals were encouraging. In control group of 16 animals the results were very poor. Statistically the treatments with “Prajana” have been proved to have effect on oestrus induction and fertile oestrus induction. Prajana injection (I/m) 5 c.c. dose gave maximum number of oestrus induction and fertile oestrus induction but the oestrus induction interval and fertile oestrus induction interval were minimum with 10 c.c. dose.ThesisItem Open Access STUDIES ON REPEAT BREEDING CONDITION IN CROSSBRED (K x J AND K x HF) CATTLE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO CERVICAL MUCUS(AAU, Anand, 1986) MEHTA, GHANASHYAM B.; KODAGALI, S. B.The present study was undertaken with a view to elucidate some of the etiological factors involved in repeat breeding conditions in crossbred cattle with reference to cervical mucus content and change in its physical properties and suggest therapeutic measures. Detailed gynaecological examinations of a total of 38 repeating crossbred animals showed 23.68 per cent genital abnormalities with maximum 10.52 per cent disorders were found to be of cervix.
