    Poultry in India, which was predominantly a backyard activity before 1960s has reached an industry status as well as an agri-business enterprise. India ranks third place in egg production and fifth place in broiler production in the world (Watt Executive Guide, 2006). At present, Indian meat production is 2.2 million tons and contributing about 260 billion (2%) to the GDP, providing both direct and indirect employment. Since the early 1990s, poultry meat has been the fastest growing sector in animal production and consumption in India. While demand has slowed for other meats, including fish, the poultry meat has accelerated and continues to lead the expansion of meat trade. Poultry meat is the cheapest animal protein providing food and nutrition security to both urban and rural population. During the past decade, egg production increased to over 45,200 million and the per capita availability of eggs has increased to 41 eggs. Broiler meat production increased to 2.2 million tons and the per capita availability of chicken meat increased to 1.73 kg. However, it is for below the recommended consumption of 180 eggs and 10.8 kg poultry meat per person per annum as by the Nutritional Advisory Committee. Over the years, poultry meat has found broad consumer acceptance, in part due to its low relative price and less fat compared to red meat. Without any social constraint the sector is growing at 12.64 per cent per year

    TOXICITY STUDIES OF FUNGAL ISOLATES IN RATS AND MICE FROM PADDY STRAW SUSPECTED TO CAUSE NECROSIS OF EXTREMITIES IN BUFFALOES

    In most developing countries, livestock production is an important part of national economy. A major constraint for increased milk production by small and medium dairy farmers is the chronic shortage of affordable feeds of adequate quality and quantity, particularly during the dry season. The problem of feed storage is further complicated by farmer’s inability to use them before they spoil, especially during wet season when there is a production peak. During peak production, one of the major agents of feed spoilage, are moulds. Though their prevalence and rate of colonization are highly dependent on climate and farm practices, the growth of moulds in raw material and finished feeds of livestock is an universal problem. Mould spores, of the so called field fungi, can contaminate cereal grains and stover in standing crop in severe conditions (too wet or too dry season). These include species of Fusarium, Altemaria, Cladosporium, Diplodia, Gibberella and Helminthosporium, their spores can germinate, especially under high moisture conditions (20-21%). The moulds can also c olonize on feed ingredients and feeds during storage especially with Aspergillus and Penicillium species at 13-18% moisture. Both field and storage fungi can result in elaboration of mycotoxins.

    DEVELOPMENT OF LONG SHELF LIFE ENRICHED PROBIOTIC LASSI

    The annual milk production in India was estimated about 101.7 million tonnes in 2007 and it may expect to reach 104.8 million tonnes in the year of 2008 (Chindanandaiah et al., 2007). About 55% of the milk produced in the country is being utilized for preparation of various indigenous dairy products like khoa and khoa based sweets, chhana and chhana based sweets and fermented milk products etc. Among which dahi, lassi, shrikhand and butter milk are of great significance. Dahi occupies an important place in the diet of average Indian who is mainly a vegetarian as it serves as an important source of protein. Fermented foods are those which have been subjected to the action of desirable/ beneficial microorganisms so that desirable biochemical changes cause significant modification to foods. The origin of such foods in our diet go back many thousands of years and usually predate the existence of written records of their production and consumption. Fermented foods are of great significance as they provide and preserve nutritious food in a wide diversity of flavours, aromas and textures which enrich the human diet. Dahi or yoghurt is consumed in different forms such as Lassi and Shrikhand. Lassi is a ready to serve fermented milk beverage. It is prepared by mixing required quantity of sugar or spices and cold water with Dahi or yoghurt, and is a very popular summer drink in the Indian subcontinent. It has a creamy consistency, sweetish rich aroma and mild to acidic flavour, which makes the product refreshingly palatable. It keeps well for a day or two at room temperature and about one week at refrigerated temperature. However, lassi production is highly localized especially in northern India and scattered. This is mainly because of lack of technology for the manufacture of lassi of uniform compositional quality. The limited keeping quality of lassi also poses difficulties in its transportation. If lassi could be made with longer shelf-life, it will even offer a stiff competition to the expensive soft drinks in the beverage market (Sabikhi, 2003).

    TOXICITY STUDIES OF FUNGAL ISOLATES FROM MAIZE HULLS IN RATS AND MICE
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2008) VENKANNA BALAGANUR
    Agricultural economy is changing very fast. Today India produces 87.7 million tonnes of rice and 68.7 million tonnes of wheat and in between these two crops lie 84 million tonnes of milk. Thus India has emerged as largest producer of milk in the world. India has very large livestock population with more than 185.18 million cattle and 97.92 million birffaloes (17^^ Livestock Census 2003, Government of India, Krishi Bhawan, New Delhi).

    Livestock owners in India are mostly practicing free grazing system in animal husbandry. The inigated and rain fed lands are basically used for cultivating food and commercial crops. Use of land exclusively for fodder development is scanty. Farmers often face scarcity of fodder even to manage two to three animals. Growth of cities and towns, deforestation, constnjction of dams and extension of inigated lands have reduced the grazing area for livestock
