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.

    EVALUATION OF THERAPEUTIC EFFICACY OF PLANTS Bryophyllum calycinum AND Achyranthes aspera ON ADENINE INDUCED CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE IN RATS
    (Department of Veterinary Medicine College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2019) Gehani Mukeshkumar; Dr. S. K. Raval
    The present study was conducted to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of plants Bryophyllum calcinum and Achyranthes aspera on adenine induced chronic kidney disease in rats on 48 adult healthy male Wistar rats (12-15 weeks of age). Rats were divided into 8 groups-I (Normal control), II (Adenine control), III (Aqueous extract-AQ. EX. of B.C.), IV (AL. EX. of B.C.), V (Aqueous extract-AQ. EX. of A.A.), VI (AL. EX. of A.A.), VII (Biherbal -BIH. AQ. EX., 3:1), VIII (Biherbal-BIH. AL. EX., 3:1). All groups had six rats each. All the rats were numbered group wise and individually. Group II was given Adenine chemical @ 200 mg/kg body weight. CKD was induced in group II. After 28th day groups III to VIII were given AQ., AL. and BIH. plant EX. of B.C. and A.A.

    STUDIES ON ETIO-DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPEUTIC MANAGEMENT OF CANINE DEMODICOSIS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO ROLE OF PDGF-BB, TGF-β1 AND IL-10 IN CANINE GENERALIZED DEMODICOSIS
    (DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY MEDICINE COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) MAYANK PARWARI; Dr. G.C. MANDALI
    Demodicosis, also named as demodectic mange, red mange or follicular mange can be defined as a common but exigent, inflammatory, non-contagious parasitic dermatosis caused by over population of the host-specific follicular mites of various Demodex species. Demodex canis is known to be the species of Demodex which causes most infestations in dogs. A total of 48 positive cases of generalized demodicosis were selected for the therapeutic trial. Canine generalized demodicosis was characterized as juvenile-onset {22/48, (45.83%)} or adult-onset {26/48 (54.17%)}. Clinical examination revealed presence of erythematous patch, papules, severe crusting, scaling and alopecia, hyperpigmentation, lichenification along with itching. The lesions were mostly distributed on legs, chin and neck, lateral abdomen, peri-orbital, peri-oral and trunk region. The skin became thickened, grey, easily bleeds and lost its elasticity, there by sagging and forming folds.

    CLINICO-ETIODIAGNOSIS AND THERAPEUTIC MANAGEMENT OF OTITIS IN DOGS
    (Department of Veterinary Medicine College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2019) Parmar Jignashaben; Dr. S.K. Raval
    The present study was undertaken to know the infectious etiology to make an attempt to identify the underlying isolates, to observe study the symptomatology and to assess the therapeutic efficacy of certain drugs in otitis in dogs. Upon screening of 30 dogs, during the study period of 7 months, Out of 56 ears samples 52 (92.85%) were found from bilateral otitis and remaining 4 (7.14%) ears samples were from unilateral cases of otitic dogs.

    ASSESSMENT OF OXIDATIVE STRESS AND BIOCHEMICAL PROFILES IN CROSSBRED COWS DURING PERI-PARTUM PERIOD
    (Department of Veterinary Physiology& Biochemistry College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2019) Yadav Anjukumari J.; Dr. A. M. Pande
    The study entitled, “Assessment of Oxidative Stress and Biochemical Profiles in Crossbred Cows During Peripartum Period” was conducted on six crossbred cows (HF x Kankrej) during their peripartum period i.e. 45 days before parturition, On the day of parturition and 45 days after parturition to determine the status of the biochemical, physiological and hormonal status of the cows along with oxidative stress experienced by the animal during this period. All the physiological parameters such as rectal temperature, pulse rate, respiration rate and skin temperature were recorded on the day of blood collection at 7.30 am and 2.30 pm during experimental period. The blood samples were collected on day 45, 38, 31, 24, 17, 10 and 3 before parturition , on the day of parturition and on day 3, 7, 10, 15, 30 and 45 after parturition for analysing the biochemical profile, hormonal profile, minerals, enzymes and antioxidant enzymes.
