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.

    STUDIES OF ASSOCIATION BETWEEN MORPHOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF UDDER AND TEATS AND INCIDENCES OF SUB-CLINICAL MASTITIS IN CROSSBRED COWS MAINTAINED ON DAIRY FARMS IN ANAND DISTRICT
    (AAU, Anand, 2014) PATEL, Yogesh G.; Dr. M. M. Trivedi
    The present study was carried out in Anand District of Gujarat state on 200 lactating crossbred cows of different parities and at different stages of lactation from 13 different dairy farms. The objective was to study the biometry and different shape of udder and teats and their association with incidence of sub-clinical mastitis. Biometry of udder (length, width and depth) and teat (length and diameter), morphology of udder (trough/round/goaty/pendulous shape) and teat (cylindrical/funnel/bottle/pear), test day milk yield, distance between teat end to floor, body condition scores (1 to 5 scale), temperature humidity index in cow sheds, udder and leg hygiene scores (1 to 5 scale), ideal milking practices score (1 to 10 scale) etc. were studied. Milk samples were examined to detect subclinical mastitis through California mastitis test. The pH of milk samples as well as somatic cell counts/ml of milk were estimated using digital pH meter and Fossomatic minor cell counter. Data were analyzed according to methods suggested by Snedecor and Cochran (1994).

    EFFECT OF FEEDING MILK REPLACER ON HOLSTEIN-KANKREJ CROSSBRED CALVES
    (AAU, Anand, 2014) Ravi Shukla; Dr. S. V. Shah
    An experiment was conducted at Livestock Research Station (LRS), College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat to ascertain the effect of feeding milk replacer on growth and nutrient utilization in Holstein crossbred calves. They were randomly assigned to three dietary treatments (T1, T2 and T3) on age, sex and body weight basis. In the first treatment (T1) the calves were given 4 L milk as per farm practice, in the second treatment (T2) Commercial milk replacer with 19 to 21% CP and in third treatment (T3) Formulated mlk replacer (consisting of Soymeal, Maize, Soy seed, Casein and Molases) with 24% crude protein. In addition to this, Amul Dan and Lucerne Hay was also offered to the calves.
