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.

    SNP detection in partial exome sequencing of Jaffarabadi buffalo (Bubalus bubalis
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2013) MAULIK UPADHYAY; Dr. C. G. Joshi
    In recent years, riverine buffalo has occupied a central role in Indian agriculture/Animal Husbandry sector especially due to its high milk production with high fat percentage compared to Indian cattle. Hence, detecting genetic variants such as SNPs in Indian buffalo can provide insight into traits which is adaptable for and in future, it may also pave the way for marker assisted selection in the species. An SNP is a bi-allelic co-dominant genetic variants found in high frequency

    STUDY ON GENETIC ASSOCIATIONS OF BODYWEIGHTWITH IMPORTANT ECONOMIC TRAITS IN IWN AND IWP STRAINS OFWHITE LEGHORN CHICKEN
    (AAU, Anand, 2012) RAJ KUMAR YADAV; Dr. J. V. Solanki
    The present study was undertaken to investigate “Inheritance and associations of body weight with important economic traits in IWN and strains of White Leghorn chicken”. Data pertaining to S7 generation of IWN and strains of White Leghorn maintained at Department of Poultry Science, College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, Anand Agricultural University, Anand were utilized for the present study. Birds were grouped at 16, 40 and 64 weeks of age on the basis of body weight, with the difference of 150 grams in their body weights. At 16 weeks of age 4 groups, at 40 weeks of age, 5 groups and at 64 weeks of age, 7 groups were formed. Birds were also grouped total number of eggs produced upto 64 weeks of age with the difference of 20 eggs. Total 6 groups were formed.

    COMPARISON OF VARIOUS METHODS OF SIRE EVALUATION IN MURRAH GRADED BUFFALOES
    (AAU, Anand, 2013) CHAUDHARI PRAVINKUMAR NAGJIBHAI; Dr. D. N. RANK
    The present study was carried out on comparison of various methods of sire evaluation in Murrah graded buffalo. A total of 2329 test day lactation records of daughters of 79 sires distributed in 47 villages under field progeny testing programme in Anand milk shed were subjected to least squares analysis to study the effect of different non genetic factors. The least squares means for age at first calving (AFC), first lactation milk yield (FLY305) and milk fat percent (Fat %) were 1812.90 ± 12.10 days, 1490.53 ± 9.88 liter and 7.008 ± 0.02 per cent, respectively

    Establishment, Characterization and Transcriptome Profiling of Horn Cancer Cell Line
    (AAU, Anand, 2014) SHARADINDU SHIL; Dr. R.S. Joshi
    Horn cancer (HC) is a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of horn core mucosa with poorly defined genetic landscape, reported only in Bos indicus and causes heavy economic losses as a result of affecting 1% of cattle population and accounting 83.34% of total tumors found (Joshi et al., 2009). Tumor-derived cell lines are widely used as in vitro cancer models. A major obstacle to obtain more detailed insights into the diversity of phenotypic and molecular changes occurring in horn cancer cells was non- availability of low-passage horn cancer cell lines, which would still closely reflect the phenotype of the horn cancer cells in vivo. Considering that pressing requirement here a novel, low passage number horn cancer cell line was characterized. The cells were originated from horn core squamous cancerous tissue (characterized in the clinics & histopathological study).
