Anand Agricultural University, Anand

Anand Agricultural University (AAU) was established in 2004 at Anand with the support of the Government of Gujarat, Act No.(Guj 5 of 2004) dated April 29, 2004. Caved out of the erstwhile Gujarat Agricultural University (GAU), the dream institution of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Dr. K. M. 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. AAU aims to do this through education, research and extension education. Thus, AAU works towards the empowerment of the farmers.

    EVALUATION OF IMMUNE RESPONSE BY BLOOD AND MILK LEUCOCYTES DURING PERIPARTUM PERIOD OF CROSSBRED COWS
    (DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2018) Dr. A. M. Pande; JOSHI KRUPA RAJENDRAKUMAR
    Six crossbred cows (Holstein Friesian × Kankrej) were investigated in their advance stage of gestation period for Hematological parameter, Phagocytic Activity (PA) of Blood and Milk, Mitogen Con A and LPS induced Lymphocytic Proliferation Response (LPR) of Blood and Milk, SCC, Fat, Protein, SNF, Lactose and Hormones. Blood was collected on days -30, -15, -7 and -3 before calving, on the day of calving and on days 3, 7, 15 and 30 after calving while milk collected on the day of calving and 3, 7, 15, 30 day after calving.

    IDENTIFICATION OF SNPs IN OLR1 GENE OF MEHSANA AND BANNI BUFFALO BY CLONING AND SEQUENCING
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2009) CHETAN VILAS JAWALE; Dr. C. G. Joshi
    Exploitation of milk production potential, essentially, of buffaloes is the need of time owing to the larger population size of country. The production potential of buffalo needs to be exploited by various breeding plans based on quantitative genetic theory supported by molecular genetic technologies. The candidate gene approach provides tools to search for causative polymorphisms affecting quantitative traits. One of the potential candidate genes recently explored that is associated with milk fat percentage is Oxidised Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor 1(OLR1). In cattle, a study has recently focused on single nucleotide polymorphisms in OLR1 gene has concluded that an SNP in 3’ untranslated region is associated with milk fat yield and percentage. Keeping the higher milk fat percentages in buffaloes with extreme milk fat percentages in Mehsana and Banni buffalo, the present study was carried out to identify the SNPs in OLR 1 intron I in Mehsana and Banni buffalo.
