    STUDIES ON RENOPROTECTIVE EFFECT OF AQUEOUS AND ALCOHOLIC BIHERBAL EXTRACTS OF Vigna unguiculata AND Hordeum vulgare IN WISTAR RATS
    (DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY MEDICINE COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2018) PATEL MONIKABEN KIRTIKUMAR; Dr. S. K. Raval
    The present study was conducted to evaluate the renoprotective effect of aqueous, alcoholic and biherbal seed extracts of Vigna unguiculata (V.U.) and Hordeum vulgare (H.V.) on 86 adult healthy female Wistar rats (12-15 weeks of age). Rats were divided in to 14 groups- I (lithiatic control), II (vehicle control), III (Aqueous extract-AQ. EX. of V.U., low dose), IV (AQ. EX. of V.U., high dose), V (Alcoholic extract-AL. EX. of V.U., low dose), VI (AL. EX. of V.U., high dose), VII (AQ. EX. of H.V., low dose), VIII (AQ. EX. of H.V., high dose), IX (AL. EX. of H.V., low dose), X (AL. EX. of H.V., high dose), XI (Biherbal-BIH. AQ. EX., 1:1, low dose), XII (BIH. AQ. EX., 1:1, high dose), XIII (BIH. AL. EX., 1:1, low dose) and XIV (BIH. AL. EX., 1:1, high dose). All groups had six rats each. Group I had eight rats. All the rats were numbered group wise and individually. Group II was given 0.5% sodium bicarbonate. Urolithiasis was induced in group I and III to XIV animals using 0.75 % (v/v) ethylene glycol and 2% (w/v) ammonium chloride along with drinking water as stone inducing agent for 28 days. After 28th day, groups III to XIV were given AQ., AL. and BIH. seed EX. of V.U. and H.V.

    STUDIES ON CLINICAL AND THERAPEUTIC MANAGEMENT OF TRICHOSTRONGYLOSIS IN GOATS
    (DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY MEDICINE COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2018) RAJPURA NASRINBANU RAFIKBHAI; Dr. G.C. Mandali
    Goat is a versatile animal known as the “Poor man’s cow” in India. Archaeological studies provide sufficient evidence that goat was the earliest ruminant and probably the first animal after dog to be domesticated by man long before 7000 B.C. India has the largest population of goats of the world. Trichostrongyle nematodes are most pathogenic and economically important parasite of small ruminants and knowledge of these species is important for preventing and managing parasitic diseases.
