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.

    PHYSIOLOGICAL, BIOCHEMICAL AND HORMONAL PROFILES OF SURTI GOATS DURING SUMMER AND WINTER SEASON UNDER INTENSIVE PRODUCTION SYSTEM
    (2016) Vasava Amritaben A.; Dr. A. M. Pande
    The study entitled, “Physiological, Biochemical and Hormonal Profiles of Surti Goats during Summer and Winter Season under Intensive Production System” was conducted on eight adult apparently healthy Surti goats with the objective to determine the seasonal variations in different physiological responses, biochemical constituents, hormonal profiles and antioxidant status. The meteorological variables like temperature and relative humidity were recorded for calculation of THI on daily basis at 7.30 a.m. & 2.30 p.m. during experimental period. Meteorological data for last 10 years from year 2004 to 2014 collected from the observatory for estimation of THI. All Physiological parameters such as rectal temperature, respiration rate, pulse rate, and skin temperature measured daily at 7.30 a.m. and 2.30 p.m. throughout the study period. Blood samples were collected from the Surti goats at weekly interval during experimental period for various biochemical analyses.
