    EFFECT OF OVARIAN FOLLICULAR FLUID OF DIFFERENT SPECIES ON IN VITRO MATURATION OF CAPRINE OOCYTES
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY , BIDAR, 2005-11) LAKSHMIKANTH, T.R.; M. DEVARAJ; A. KRISHNASWAMY; V .CHANDRASHEKARAMURTHY
    India possesses 136 million goat and stands 2^^ in the world in goat population, which occupy an important place in Indian farm economy mainly in meeting the demands for meat In recent times laboratory production of embryos is drawing keen attention because of its application in emerging technologies like cloning and transgenic animal production apart from embryo transfer. With large number of oocytes, goat serves as a suitable experimental model in embryo transfer technology, which has been developed for maximum exploitation of superior genetic material from female. Since the cost of production of embryos is very high, several efforts are being made by various research workers to economize the production by way of replacing the expensive components of culture media with less expensive ones. In order to reduce the cost of technology; conventionally used fetal bovine serum, an expensive component and hormones are being successfully replaced with steer serum, cow serum or follicular fluid (Gupta et al., 2001). Follicular fluid is primarily the transudate of plasma that contains specific constituents such as steroids, glycosaminoglycans and many other metabolites synthesized by the cells of the follicle wall (Wise, 1987). Recent studies have claimed the beneficial effects of follicular fluid in media used in IVM, subsequent fertilization (IVF) and development of pig (Naito, 1988), sheep (Sun et al., 1994) and cow (Kim et al., 1996) embryos.

    INFLUENCE OF THE HEAVY METAL, CADMIUM ON BUFFALO OOCYTE AND EMBRYO DEVELOPMENT IN VITRO
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2006) SUCHITRA, B.R
    India has over 103.13 million, or approximately 56.6% of the total world buffalo population and contributing more than 52 percent of milk production (FAO, 2005). The Reproductive efficiency of buffalo is influenced by a variety of factors such as genetic and environmental factors.

    STUDIES ON TERMINATION OF PREGNANCY IN BITCH WITH ANTI-PROGESTINS
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2007) PADMINI PRADHAN
    Over the last 10-15 years, canine breeding has developed as an industry and consequently there has been a great interest in the breeding of pedigree dogs, particularly in urban areas. There have been instances of kennel owners even importing fancy breeds at an exorbitant price. Therefore, it is but natural for kennel owners to regularly approach the veterinarian to help them, in determining the right stage for mating, to diagnose the pregnancy early and to monitor the general health of the animals

    STUDIES ON COMPARATIVE EFFICACY OF NATURAL AND A SYNTHETIC PGF2â ANALOGUE FOR ESTRUS INDUCTION IN CROSSBRED DAIRY COWS
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2006) NARASIMHA MURTHY
    Inefficient estrus detection and improper timing of artificial insemination are among the major causes for the failure of conception which results in prolonged service period, long calving intervals and reduced lifetime production which intum affects the profitability of dairy farming. In dairy cows, upto 40 percent of estrus periods may pass undetected inspite of normal ovarian cyclicity (Williamson et ah, 1972; King et al, 1976). Consequently, controlled breeding with induction of estrus and fixed time inseminations have gained importance

    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2009) RAVI. K.B
    The reproductive problems characterized by infertility, embryonic death, abortions in cattle causes serious economic losses (Hou, 1995; McGowan and Kirkland, 1995).

    COMPARATIVE STUDIES ON SEMINAL CHARACTERISTICS OF GIRIRAJA AND WHITE PLYMOUTH ROCK ROOSTERS
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2007) NARAYANA BANAKARA
    Rapid growth of human population and low protein intake are some of the major problems facing developing country like India. Poultry offers an avenue for rapid transformation in animal protein production as their population is highest among domesticated animal species. There is hardly any household in rural and peri urban area that does not keep one form of poultry or other. The genetic improvement could be attained at a faster rate in poultry due to a shorter generation interval compared to other farm animals. Poultry population of India was estimated to a 489 millions, while in Karnataka it is 25.6 millions (Dairy Year Book 2006).
