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 GENITAL MICROBIOTA IN CYCLIC, ACYCLIC, ENDOMETRITIC AND PREGNANT BUFFALO
    (Department of Animal Reproduction, Gynaecology & Obstetrics College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2019) Patel Binal; Dr. M.T. Panchal
    The genital microbiota was studied in vaginal secretions/aspirates/discharge from infertile (anestrus, n=6; endometritic, n=6) buffaloes of village nearby Anand and healthy cyclic (proestrus, estrus, metestrus, diestrus, n=5) as well as pregnant (3, 6 and 9 months; n=6 each) buffaloes of Reproductive Biology Research Unit, AAU, Anand, with an aim (i) to identify the vaginal microorganisms based on routine cultural and culture-independent (metagenomics) methods, (ii) to estimate hormones (progesterone and estrogen), metabolites (total protein and total cholesterol) and minerals (calcium and inorganic phosphorus) profiles, and (iii) to find out the correlations of vaginal metabiota with plasma progesterone and estrogen levels.

    CYSTIC OVARIAN DEGENERATION IN CROSSBRED CATTLE: CLINICAL ULTRASOUND AND HORMONE BASED DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPEUTIC MANAGEMENT
    (Department of Animal Reproduction, Gynaecology & Obstetrics College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2019) Chauhan Jaykumar; Dr. K.K. Hadiya
    The present study was conducted under field on >90 days postpartum cows with cystic ovaries (n=58) confirmed by history and trans-rectal palpation & ultrasonographic examinations twice at weekly interval using linear array transducer with 5.0-7.5 MHz frequency. The findings were later confirmed with plasma progesterone, together with estradiol and cortisol, assays using RIA techniques. The main objectives were to differentially diagnose the COD cases clinically with use of ultrasound, per rectal palpation as well as endocrine profile, and to study comparative efficacy of four treatment protocols through plasma endocrine profile and conception rates. The details of the age, parity, clinical signs, rectal palpation findings, sonographic findings and breeding history of each case were recorded.

    COMPARATIVE EFFICACY OF UTERINE LAVAGE, CYTOBRUSH AND BIOPSY TECHNIQUES FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF ENDOMETRITIS IN MARES
    (Department of Animal Reproduction, Gynaecology & Obstetrics College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2019) Agnus Mathew; Dr. D.M. Patel
    The present study was carried out on 10 infertile mares belonging to different stud farms in and around Anand, and other privately owned mares visiting the Veterinary Clinical Complex of the College. The research included a comparative evaluation of three different techniques used in diagnosing endometritis in mares, viz., endometrial biopsy (EB), cytobrush (CB) and low-volume uterine lavage (LVL). The samples collected by each of these three techniques were evaluated cytologically as well as bacteriologically. In addition, the endometrial biopsies were examined histopathologically for the presence of inflammatory cells infiltration or other degenerative changes. All the animals were examined per-rectally prior to sample collection to eliminate the chances of pregnancy.

    STUDY ON REPRODUCTIVE MICROBIOTA IN CYCLIC, ACYCLIC AND ENDOMETRITIC CROSSBRED CATTLE
    (DEPT OF ANIMAL REPRODUCTION GYNAECOLOGY & OBSTETRICS COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE & ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2018) PATEL CHIRAG I.; Dr. A.J. Dhami
    This study was carried out on vaginal secretions/aspirates of infertile (acyclic and endometritic) crossbred cows from field and healthy cyclic as well as pregnant crossbred cows of LRS, AAU, Anand with the objectives (i) to identify the vaginal microorganisms based on routine cultural and culture-independent (metagenomics) methods, (ii) to monitor plasma progesterone, estrogen, total protein, total cholesterol, calcium and inorganic phosphorus profile, and (iii) to find out the association of vaginal metabiota with circulatory levels of gonadal steroids, if any. The work was carried out on total 36 crossbred cows covering six each regular cyclic (proestrus, estrus, metestrus, diestrus), acyclic, endometritic and 3, 6 and 9 months pregnant animals.

    EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT ESTRUS SYNCHRONIZATION PROTOCOLS FOR IMPROVING FERTILITY IN CYCLIC AND ACYCLIC CROSSBRED CATTLE
    (Department of Animal Reproduction, Gynaecology and Obstetrics College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry Anand Agricultural University, ANAND, 2017) Ashok R. Prajapati; Dr. A.J. Dhami
    This investigation was undertaken in field conditions during the year 2016-17 on 50 acyclic/anestrus and 50 cyclic repeat breeder crossbred cows to evaluate the efficacy of four estrus induction/synchronization protocols, viz., Ovsynch, Ovsynch Plus, Doublesynch, and Estradoublesynch (10 cows in each protocol, and in untreated cyclic and acyclic controls) in terms of estrus induction response, conception rates at induced estrus with fixed time AI (FTAI) and overall of 3 cycles, including monitoring plasma progesterone, protein and cholesterol profile at different time intervals during treatment and day 12 post-AI. All the animals selected were initially dewormed using s/c Inj. of 100 mg Ivermectin and were treated with i/m injection of inorganic phosphorus (Inj. Tonophosphan, 10 ml) and multivitamins AD3E (Inj. Intavita-H, 10 ml), and bolus Minotas 1 bolus daily for 7 days. Repeat breeding cows received additional single shot i/m injection of Enrofloxacin (Inj. Flobac SA, 40 ml) to rule out invisible infection, if any.

    COMPARATIVE EFFICACY OF DOUBLESYNCH AND ESTRADDOUBLESYNCH PROTOCOLS OF ESTRUS SYNCHRONIZATION IN GIR HEIFERS
    (DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL REPRODUCTION GYNAECOLOGY AND OBSTETRICS COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE & ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) Nitesh J. Chaudhari; Dr. D. M. Patel
    This investigation was undertaken in field conditions during the year 2016-17 on 50 pubertal anoestrus Gir heifers to evaluate the efficacy of two estrus induction/ synchronization protocols, viz., Doublesynch, and Estradoublesynch (20 animals in each protocol, including 10 animals under untreated control group) in terms of estrus induction response, conception rates at induced estrus with fixed time AI (FTAI) and overall of 3 cycles, including monitoring plasma progesterone, protein and cholesterol profiles at different time intervals during treatment and day 12 post-AI. All pubertal anoestrus Gir animals identified were injected with Inj. Ivermectin, 10 ml, s/c and were vaccinated against FMD/HS as a routine. They were also treated once initially with i/m injection of Tonophosphan, 10 ml (MSD) and Inj. Intavita-H 10 ml (Vit.AD3E & Biotin, Intas Pharma), and supplemented with multi-minerals bolus (Minotas, Intas Pharma) @ 1 bolus daily for 7 days.
