Munshi, the AAU was set up to provide support to the farming community in three facets namely education, research and extension activities in Agriculture, Horticulture Engineering, product Processing and Home Science. At present there seven Colleges, seventeen Research Centers and six Extension Education Institute working in nine districts of Gujarat namely Ahmedabad, Anand, Dahod, Kheda, Panchmahal, Vadodara, Mahisagar, Botad and Chhotaudepur AAU's activities have expanded to span newer commodity sectors such as soil health card, bio-diesel, medicinal plants apart from the mandatory ones like rice, maize, tobacco, vegetable crops, fruit crops, forage crops, animal breeding, nutrition and dairy products etc. the core of AAU's operating philosophy however, continues to create the partnership between the rural people and committed academic as the basic for sustainable rural development. In pursuing its various programmes AAU's overall mission is to promote sustainable growth and economic independence in rural society.

    PRENATAL DEVELOPMENT OF MAMMARY GLANDS IN SURTI BUFFALO (Bubalus bubalis)
    (AAU, Anand, 1995) Panchal, K. M.; Vyas, K. N.
    The prenatal gross, biometrlc, histologic and histochemical studies on development of the mammary glands of 77 foetuses (55 female and 22 male), were carried out at different phases of their development ranging from 38 to 305 days (2.1 to 102.5 cm CVR). The female foetuses were divided into four different groups viz., 38 to 73 days (2.1 to 10.0 cm CVR, group-I), 78 to 93 days (10.9 to 14.3 cm CVR, group-Il), 102 to 191 days (16.3 to 52.1 cm CVR, group-Ill) and 210 t o 305 days (60.5 t o 102.'5 cm CVR, group-IV). The two mammary lines developed in the inguinal region at the age of 38 days (2.1 cm CVR) and maamary buds were observed on them between 41 to 48 days. The arrangement of the teats in the female mammary glands was in a square pattern while that in the male, was a curved arc.

    POST-NATAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BIRTH COAT AND HISTOMORPHOLOGICAL SKIN CHARACTERISTICS OF PATANWADI AND MARWARI SHEEP (Ovis aries)
    (AAU, Anand, 1995) Bhayani, D. M.; Vyas, K. N.
    The present study was carried out t o investigate the postnatal changes in birth coat characteristics as well as histomorphological skin characteristics from birth to one year of age of the same animals in Patanwadi and Marwtri sheep. The skin biopsies along with wool from the same animals were collected at different age intervals, after birth. The biopsies were collected at birth, 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks as well as 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2, 3, 4, 6, 9 and 12 months of age, from right and left mid sides alternately of the same animals. The fibre diameter of the stubble, was found to be maximum at birth in Patanwadi; however, it was minimum at birth in Marwari. The fibre diameter was significantly more in Marwari (Av. 33.90 µm) than that of the Patanwadi (Av. 27-15 )µm). The staple length, crimped length and fibre length increased gradually from birth t o one year of age in both the breeds. The mean values of all the three characteristics were more in Marwari than those of Patanwadi, except at one year of age when, the fibre length was more in Patanwadi.
