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.
