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.

    STUDIES ON GROWTH PATTERN AND ECONOMICS OF CALF REARING IN INTER - SE MATED JERSEY X KANKREJ CROSSBREDS
    (AAU, Anand, 1989) DHANGAR, MAHESH R.; Patel, J. M.
    A study was carried out in inter-se mated Jersey x Kankrej crossbred calves to investigate the pattern of growth and economics of calf rearing from birth to 6 months of age. A total of 93 calves born at Livestock Research Station, Anand from 30th Oct, 1987 to 30th Oct, 1988 were included in the study. The mean body weight of this calves was 20.15 ± 0.34, 66.15 ± 1.19 and 99.47 ± 2.26 kg at birth, 4 month (weaning) and 6 month of age. The association between body weight of female calves at 4 and 6 months of age was significant(P<0.01).

    EFFECT OF SHELTERING AND SPLASHING WATER ON PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSES OF KANKREJ X JERSEY (F1) AND KANKREJ X H0LSTEIN (F1) HEIFERS DURING INTENSE SUMMER
    (AAU, Anand, 1982) DAS, MRINMOY KUMAR; Patel, J. P.
    A study was undertaken at the College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, Anand to study the effect of sheltering and splashing water during intense summer on Kankrej X Jersey (F1) and Kankrej X Holstein Friesian (F1) heifers. The treatment were: (A) Sheltering with splashing, (B) Sheltering without splashing, (C) Exposing with splashing and (D) Exposing without splashing. Mean maximum, minimum and ambient temperatures during the period of study were 39.99°, 25.71° and 33.47°C respectively. The Kankrej X Jersey (F1) (39.01°C) and Kankrej X Holstein (F1) (39.10°C) heifers had different (P<0.01) rectal temperatures. Sheltering caused significant (P<0.01) difference in the rectal temperature of both the breed groups, while splashing affected it (P<0.01) in Jersey crosses only.

    MILK PRODUCTION AND PREWEANING GROWTH IN MARWARI AND PATANWADI SHEEP
    (AAU, Anand, 1981) PATEL, K. S.; Dave, A. D.
    A study was undertaken at the College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand Campus, Anand to study the milk production of the Marwari and the Patanwadi sheep in relation to the preweaning growth of their lambs. Milk production of 20 Marwari and 7 Patanwadi ewes maintained on stall feeding after spring lambing was estimated by lamb suckling technique in 1979. Pat and total solids contents in the milk were determined.

    PERSISTENCY OF MILK PRODUCTION IN GIR CATTLE
    (AAU, Anand, 1983) Singh, Jhamman; Shukla, K. P.
    A study on persistency of milk production in Gir cattle was undertaken at Cattle Breeding Farm, Gujarat Agricultural University, Junagadh Campus. Weekly milk yields upto 45th week of 595 lactations of 225 cows were analysed. The average weekly and daily peak yield was 59.68 and 9.53 kg, respectively. The average week and day to attain peak yield was 10.53th week and 61.25th day after calving, respectively. The peak yield and time required to attain the peak yield differed significantly between lactations. With increase in parity the peak yield was increased and time required to attain peak yield decreased.The lactation order and season of calving had significant effect on frequency distribution of cows for reaching their weekly peak yield. 80.67% cows reached their weekly peak yield within 15 weeks of lactation.

    COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE GROWTH RATE AND PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSES OF JERSEY X KANKREJ AND H. F. X KANJREJ CALVES FROM BIRTH TO ONE YEAR OF AGE IN RELATION TO CLIMATE
    (AAU, Anand, 1981) PATEL, AMRITBHAI N.; Dave, A. D.
    A study was undertaken at the Livestock Research Station, Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand Campus, Anand from 1-4-80 to 31-3-81 to compare (1) the growth (2) physiological responses, (3) feed intake and (4) water intake of Jersey and Holstein crosses. The body weight of Jersey male and female crosses was 22.20 and 22.50, 96.40 and 89.88, 168.45 and 159.38 and 237.95 and 224.69 kg respectively at birth and at the ages of 20, 36 and 52 weeks. The same for Holstein crosses was 27.63 and 30.00, 115.63 and 122.15, 194.44 and 201.70 and 265.69 and 275.95 kg respectively. The holstein crosses had significantly higher body weight from birth upto 52 weeks of age than the Jersey crosses.

    RATIO OF CONCENTRATE TO ROUGHAGE IN THE RATION OF GROWING MARWARI HOGGETS
    (AAU, Anand, 1988) Choudhury, Dipanka; Dave, A. D.
    Feed efficiency; digestibility and balances (N2-Ca-P); water intake and blood picture of growing Marwari hoggets fed three levels of (T1 50 percent, T2 35 percent and T3 20 percent)AMULDAN in shaffed wheat straw based rations were studied from 5-5-86 to 27-7-86. A vitamin and mineral supplement was fed along with concentrates. The treatments significantly (P∠0.01) affected the mean daily DM intake per 100 kg body weight and consequently the average daily body weight gain (T1 71.72 g, T2 52.87 g and T3 21.59 g); the latter also being affected significantly (P∠0.01) by periods.

    A STUDY OF LACTATIONAL CHARACTERS OF JERSEY x KANKREJ (JK) F1, HOLSTEIN FRIESIAN x KANKREJ (HK) F1 AND KANKREJ COWS
    (AAU, Anand, 1987) PATEL, KISHANBHAI N.; DAVE, A. D.
    Lactation records 214 of Jersey x Kankrej(F1), Holstein Friesian x Kankrej(F1) and weaned herd of Kankrej cows of Livestock Research Station, Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand were studied for the period from April, 1979 to July, 1985.The age at first calving, service period, lactation yield, 300 days’ yield, lactation period, dry period, daily and weekly peak yields and persistency were significantly (P<0.01)influenced by the breed groups. The JK cows had the shortest (126.56 days) service period followed by Kankrej (177.30 days) and HK (185.23 days) cows while the HK cows had the hishest lactation milk yield (4,261.79 kg) followed by JK(2,699.89 kg) and Kankrej (2,274.17 kg cows.
