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.

    Study on Effect of Feeding Bypass Protein based Total Mixed Ration on Performance of Growing Crossbred Calves
    (AAU, Anand, 2011) Arewad, Gajanan Ramrao; Pandya, P. R.
    Sixteen crossbred (Holstein Friesian x Kankrej, Jersey x Kankrej and Holstein Friesian x Jersey x Kankrej) calves were selected from the farms of Livestock Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand and were individually fed for 15 days preliminary feeding and 120 days experimental period to meet their energy and protein requirement as per NRG (2001) standards. They were randomly divided into two groups and assigned to two dietary treatments (T1 and T2) on age and body weight basis and were fed compound concentrate mixture based total mixed ration formulated as per BIS Type II standard. Total mixed ration contained compound concentrate mixture and mature pasture hay (Dicanthium annulatum) in the ratio of 50:50. The calves under the control group (TO were given calculated quantity of total mixed ration having concentrate mixture without bypass protein source, whereas, the calves under treatment group (T2) were given calculated quantity of totalmixed ration having concentrate mixture with formaldehyde treated bypass protein source. The initial body weight was 104.50 ± 1.23 and 103.46 ± 2.01 kg in T1 and T2 groups, respectively. The average total gain in body weight was 50.04 ± 0.09 and 61.13 ± 0.17 kg in T1 and T2 groups during the entire experiment, while the respective average daily gain was 421.00 ± 0.01 and 514 ± 0.02 g indicating the daily weight gain was statistically (P<0.05) significant in T2. However, the gain in heart girth of T2 calves was similar with T1 group; Also, the groups did not differ with respect to gain in body length and height.

    EFFECT OF FEEDING JOWAR HAY AND GROUNDNUT HAULM BASED TOTAL MIXED RATION (TMR) ON GROWTH AND NUTRIENT UTILIZATION OF LAMBS
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2011) Sapkale Rucha R.; Dr. R. S. Gupta
    A growth experiment of 84 days (12 weeks) duration was carried out on twelve Patanwadi lambs to study the effect of feeding jowar hay and jowar hay + groundnut haulm based TMR. The lambs under control group (T1) were fed jowar hay based TMR whereas the lambs under treatment group (T2) were fed jowar hay + groundnut haulm based TMR. The nutrient requirements of lambs in term of DCP and TDN were met as per ICAR (1998) feeding standards. The results revealed significant (P<0.05) treatment differences

    EVALUATION OF PRODUCTION POTENTIAL OF THREE BREEDS OF CHICKEN AND GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF THEIR CROSSBRED PROGENIES SUITABLE FOR RURAL FARMING
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2011) NAGE PRAVIN RAMKRUSHNA; Dr. R. S. Joshi
    The present study was undertaken to evaluate production potential of three breeds Australorp (A), New Hampshire (NH) and Broiler (B) and growth performance in their crossbred progenies. The crossbred progenies were produced by full diallel crossing between above breeds with an objective to study growth performance in F1 generation. Thus, the present study was divided into two parts i.e. to study the production and reproductive performance of pure breeds and to study the juvenile growth rate of their crossbred progenies. The various traits studied in pure breeds were growth rate, age at first egg (AFE), egg number up to 40 weeks of age, HHEP and HDEP (%), egg weight, total feed consumption, fertility and hatchability, livability and economics in terms of return over feed cost. The traits studied in the crossbred progenies were body weight, weight gain, feed consumed, FCR, livability, heterosis and economics in terms of EPEI. The

    STUDIES ON NUTRTIONAL EVALUATION OF DETOXIFIED JATROPHA CURCAS MEAL ON MILK PRODUCTION FROM BUFFALOES
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2011) MD. ZIAUL HASSAN; Dr. SUBHASH PARNERKAR
    Twelve Mehsana buffaloes in early lactation (15-30 days post-partum) were selected to study the effects of Jatropha curcas meal on milk production for a period of 90 days. The experimental animals were randomly allotted to two dietary treatments i.e. CL (Control) and dJ50 (detoxified Jatropha meal) of six animals in each group, following Completely Randomized Design. All the experimental buffaloes were individually offered a basal diet of concentrate mixture and Jowar hay to meet their nutrient requirements as per ICAR (1998). The detoxified Jatropha curcas meal was included in the concentrate mixture of dJ50 group by replacing 50% of soyabean meal protein. The average milk yield in CL and dJ50 groups was 6.41

    STUDIES ON NUTRITIONAL EVALUATION OF DETOXIFIED JATROPHA (JATROPHA CURCAS) AND NEEM (AZADIRACHTA INDICA) CAKES FOR MEAT PRODUCTION FROM GOATS
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2011) DHARMENDRA KUMAR; Dr. Subhash Parnerkar
    Thirty growing Marwari kids of similar body weight were randomly allotted to five groups, six in each and were individually fed for 15 days preliminary feeding and 120 days experimental period to meet their energy and protein requirement as per ICAR (1998) standards. The group dJC-0/dNC-0 served as common control whereas dJC-25 and dJC-75 group animals were fed detoxified jatropha cake (dJC) and group dNC-25 and dNC-75 animals fed detoxified neem cake (dNC) replacing dietary soybean protein at 25 and 75 % level in the concentrate and the jowar hay was fed ad libitum. The total gain in body weight in dJC-0, dJC-25 and dJC-75 groups was 10.96

    GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF KIDS FED JOWAR HAY AND GROUNDNUT HAULMS BASED TOTAL MIXED RATION (TMR)
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2011) Dhamgunde Ajay S.; Dr. R. S. Gupta
    A growth experiment of 84 days (12 weeks) duration was carried out on sixteen Surti kids to study the effect of feeding jowar hay and jowar hay + groundnut haulms based TMR. The kids under control group (T1) were fed jowar hay based TMR whereas the kids under treatment group (T2) were fed jowar hay + groundnut haulms based TMR. Completely randomized design was followed. The nutrient requirements of kids in term of DCP and TDN were met as per ICAR (1998) feeding standards. The results revealed non significant

    STUDY ON COMPENSATORY GROWTH IN CROSSBRED CALVES FED CROP RESIDUE BASED TOTAL MIXED RATION
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2011) ASHISH AGRAWAL; Dr. SUBHASH PRNERKAR
    Eighteen crossbred (Holstein Friesian X Kankrej, Jersey X Kankrej and Holstein Friesian X Jersey X Kankrej) growing calves were fed a total mixed ration for 60 days as preliminary feeding period to meet their nutrient needs as per NRC (1989) standard. They were fed the same TMR 25% below requirement for 90 days (Under feeding period). Thereafter, they were grouped into 2 groups of nine each based on age and body weight, and were fed TMR either at the rate of 100% (T-100) and 125% (T- 125) of requirement for 90 days (Re-alimentation period). During under feeding period, the BWG and ADG were found
