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.

ThesisItem Open Access STUDY ON GENITAL INFECTIONS IN POSTPARTUM AND REPEAT BREEDER CROSSBRED CATTLE BY RAVAL SAURABHKUMAR RAMESHCHANDRA (B.V.Sc. & A.H.) (Registration(DEPARTMENT OF GYNAECOLOGY AND OBSTETRICS COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) RAVAL SAURABHKUMAR RAMESHCHANDRA; Dr. M.T. PANCHALThe present study was conducted on postpartum (PP, n=30) and repeat breeder (RB, n=40) crossbred (CB) cows, presented at AI Centres of Chikhodra and Bedwa villages of Anand district, during August 2016 to February 2017, to evaluate genital infections. Based on bacterial isolates, the animals were subgrouped, which comprised Group I (PPT: PP Treatment, 19); Group II (PPC: PP Control, 11); Group III (RBT: RB Treatment, 28); and Group IV (RBC: RB Control, 12). The cows yielding bacterial growth were treated with sensitive antibiotics (i/m) and cows with no bacterial growth (control) were given 10 ml of normal saline (i/m) and were inseminated and followed for repeating to oestrus and/or pregnancy. The details of bacterial isolates, their antibiogram, PMN%, Whiteside test, pH, spinnbarkeit, inter estrus intervals and fertility results were recorded and analyzed.ThesisItem Open Access EVALUATION OF DOUBLESYNCH AND PRID + PMSG FOR OESTRUS SYNCHRONIZATION IN POSTPARTUM ANOESTRUS BUFFALOES(DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL REPRODUCTION GYNAECOLOGY AND OBSTETRICS COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) Patel Arpit J.; Dr. J.A. PatelThis investigation was aimed to evaluate the clinical response and monitor the peripheral plasma progesterone and biochemical profiles in postpartum true anoestrus buffaloes treated with different hormonal protocols, viz., Doublesynch, Estradoublesynch, Triu-B/PRID, PRID + PMSG and untreated control, n=11 each under field conditions. All anoestrus animals identified were initially dewormed using Inj. Ivectin, 10 ml s/c (100 mg Ivermectin), and were treated once initially with Inj. Tonophosphan, 10 ml and Inj. Intavita- H,10 ml i/m (Vit.AD3E) and bolus Minotas @ 1 bolus daily PO for 7 daysThesisItem Open Access COMPARATIVE EFFICACY OF VARIOUS PROTOCOLS OF ESTRUS SYNCHRONIZATION IN CYCLIC AND ACYCLIC BUFFALOES(DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL REPRODUCTION GYNAECOLOGY AND OBSTETRICS COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE & ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) Jignesh P. Prajapati; Dr. D.M. PatelThis study was undertaken in field conditions during the year 2016-17 on 50 acyclic/anestrus and 50 cyclic repeat breeder buffaloes to evaluate the efficacy of four estrus induction/synchronization protocols, viz., Doublesynch, Estradoublesynch, Ovsynch, and Ovsynch Plus (10 buffaloes 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 injected with 100 mg Inj. of Ivermectin s/c and Inj. inorganic phosphorus (Inj. Tonophosphan) and multivitamins AD3E (Inj. Intavita-H) 10 ml each i/m and bolus Minotas 1 bolus daily orally for 7 days. Repeat breeding buffaloes received additional single shot i/m injection of Enrofloxacin (Inj.

The study covered evaluation of seminal characteristics in neat semen and then comparative efficacy of egg yolk based standard TFYG (Tris-citric acid-fructose-egg yolk-glycerol) extender and soybean based commercially available extenders (Optixcell®, IMV, France, and Andromed®, Minitube, Germany) under split-sample technique through various morphological and functional attributes of spermatozoa including leakage of spermatozoa enzymes GOT-GPT in the semen extended/processed in these extenders for cryopreservation, and interrelationships of sperm quality parameters of fresh, pre-freeze and post-thawed semen.ThesisItem Open Access SEASONAL INFLUENCE ON EFFICACY OF OESTRUS INDUCTION AND SYNCHRONIZATION PROTOCOLS IN ANOESTRUS BUFFALOES(AAU, Anand, 2016) MUNGAD, KUNAL SHIVAJIBHAI; PATEL, J. A.The present investigation was aimed to evaluate the clinical response and monitor the peripheral plasma progesterone, biochemical and macro-minerals profiles in beyond 90 days postpartum true anoestrus buffaloes treated with different hormonal protocols (Ovsynch, Heatsynch and Triu-B, n=12 each) during low (summer) and high (winter) breeding seasons. The study was carried out in villages of Anand and Mahisagar districts of Gujarat on 48 true anoestrus buffaloes in each season including 12 anoestrus untreated buffaloes as control. The animals selected were followed for a period of 3 months post-treatment/post-breeding. All infertile animals identified were initially dewormed using Inj.

DhamiThe present investigation was carried out at the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics of the College in collaboration with the Panchamrut Dairy, Godhara, on a total of 85 selected advanced pregnant pluriparous buffaloes at farmers’ doorstep in 3 tribal villages of Mahisagar District. The buffaloes were randomly divided into two groups, viz., control and nutrients treatment. The buffaloes of control group (n=45) were fed and managed as per the routine farmers feeding and management practices followed in the region. The buffaloes of treatment group (n=40), in addition to farmers feeding schedule, received 1.5 kg compound concentrate mixture (22 % CP) and 50 g of area specific chelated mineral mixture per day for 2 months prepartum to 2 months postpartum. The buffaloes of both control and treatment groups were further randomly divided into 2 subgroups for supplementation of injectable micro-minerals (Stim-Vet(R), Wellcon Animal Health Pvt Ltd; each ml containing Se, Zn, Cu and Mn @ 5, 40, 15 and 10 mg, respectively). The buffaloes of subgroup-I of both control (n=15) and treatment (n=15) groups were injected with 5 ml of Stim-Vet, i/m, twice 2 months before and on the day of calving, keeping counter subgroups (control n=30 and treatment n=25) as Stim-vet controls.
