    ASSESSMENT OF ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE IN Escherichia coli AND SALMONELLA ISOLATED FROM INTEGRATED BROILER CHICKEN FARMS
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2022) i ASSESSMENT OF ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE IN Escherichia coli AND SALMONELLA ISOLATED FROM INTEGRATED BROILER CHICKEN FARMS ADDAKAL ANANDRAJ HANNAH JOANNAS; SHARADA. R)
    A study was conducted to identify the driving factor of AMR by monitoring the phenotypic and genotypic AMR of E. coli and Salmonella isolated from 3 broiler farms (2 integrated and 1 associated). In all, 101 samples were collected at different sampling points in one entire crop cycle. The overall presence of E. coli and Salmonella was 76.23 and 9.09 per cent. Farm 1 samples did not yield Salmonella. Antimicrobial resistance based on disc diffusion assay and MIC revealed that all E. coli and Salmonella isolates were resistant to at least one antibiotic. E. coli and Salmonella showed highest resistance to ampicillin and doxycycline (92 and 87%), followed by enrofloxacin, gentamicin, trimethoprim sulphamethoxazole, amikacin and colistin and lesser resistance to ceftiofur. All the isolates were further screened for the presence of 22 AMR genes belonging to three groups of antibiotics by PCR. Among the AMR genes, highest presence was recorded for qnrB(96.87%), qepA(92.7%) followed by blaTEM(71.96%), blaCTX-M universal(29.56%), qnrS (28.93%), qnrD (28.62%), blaCTX-Mgroup1 (10.8%), mcr3 (6.27%), blaCTX-M group2 (5.64%), oqxAB (5.5%), blaSHV (4%), blaOXA (2.5%), blaCTX-M group 8/25 (1.85%), aac(6’)-Ib-cr (1.5%) and qnrA (0.5%) in E. coli. In Salmonella, blaTEM and blaSHV (100%) followed by qnrD (68.3%), qnrB (61.6%), qnrA (15%) and oqxAB (5%) in Salmonella. Maximum AMR genes in E. coli and Salmonella were found in boot socks, ileal and cecal contents and fecal swabs. Thus, these may be the driving factors for AMR. Also, on day zero high prevalance of AMR genes was found. A significant correlation was observed between phenotypic and genotypic AMR of β Lactams and quinolones but not for colistin. No significant difference was observed in the overall AMR pattern between integrated and associated farms. The findings calls for the need of efficient monitoring and institution of control strategies for effective mitigation of AMR in all the three broiler farms.

    ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES OF CHAKKA WHEY BASED BEVERAGE
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY ANIMAL FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY., 2019-08) THUPAKULA SARASWATHI
    The present study was aimed to utilization of chakka whey obtained from chakka using Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis, yoghurt culture Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbreuckii ssp. bulgaricus, Befidobacterium sp. These cultures were used separately and in combination for the preparation of chakka. The chakka whey beverages added with different levels of sugar at 5, 7.5 and 10 per cent. At the 7.5 per cent sugar level, the chakka whey beverage prepared from chakka whey obtained from chakka using yoghurt culture was found to be best among the other cultures. In case of antibacterial activity of chakka whey and its beverage, there was no antibacterial activity against E.coli and Salmonella sp. But, th

    MICROBIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF KUMISS PRODUCED FROM COW’S MILK
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY ANIMAL FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY., 2018-07) SHIVARAJ SHIVASHIMPAR B. Tech (D.Tech; . RAMACHANDRA, B.
    Kumiss is an effervescent acidic, alcoholic fermented, milky white or greyish liquid made primarily from mare’s milk. Kumiss has health benefits as it contains prebiotics like inulin. It is limited to the places like central Asia, Russia, Eastern Europe etc. due to its limited technological information and unavailability of mare’s milk and Kumiss as a product itself in certain parts of the world. In the present study an attempt was made to prepare Kumiss from cow’s milk. The lactic isolates like lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis, Leuconostoc mesenteroides ssp
