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.

    STUDY ON HISTOLOGICAL AND BIOMETRICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MEDULLATED AND NON-MEDULLATED FOLLICLES IN MARWADI AND PATANWADI SHEEP
    (AAU, Anand, 1989) DUBAL, S. C.; Vyas, K. N.
    The present study was carried out on the skin biopsies, taken from l e f t mid-side region of 30 males and 44 females of Marwadi and 55 males and 45 females of Patanwadi sheep at the age of 4-5 months (lambs) and again from the same animals at the age of 15-18 months (adults) to investigate the histological and biometrical characteristics of medullated and non-medullated follicles. The biopsies were preserved in 10 % neutral buffered formalin and vertical sections of 1/3 mm in thickness were cut with the help of razor blade and stained with 0.25 % aqueous solution of Nile blue sulphate to study the follicle depth (Fd), follicle chord (Fc) and follicle curvature index (Fci). The observations were made ci under projection micixjscope (Lanometer) . From the remaining skin, vertical sections measuring 10-12 µm in thickness, were cut on ciyostat microtome and stained with Harris' Haematoxylin and Eosin stain and Altmann's acid fuchsin methyl green stain for histology and micrometry of the other follicle characteristics. The primary follicles were more deep-seated than the secondary follicles. The angle between the shaft and bulb of medullated follicle from the ental side, was more than that of the non-medullated follicle in both the breeds. The follicles of Marwadi had larger angle of bulb than those of Patanwadi sheep. The primary follicles were mostly medullated. The medullation occured above the junction between the shaft and the bulb.

    HISTOMORPHOLOGICAL STUDIES ON THE SKIN OF YOUNG AND ADULT GIR CATTLE (Bos indicus) WITH REFERENCE TO THERMOREGULATION
    (AAU, Anand, 1988) BHAYANI, D. M.; Vyas, K. N.
    The histomorphological study was made on the skin biopsies from left mid-side region of Gir cattle (Bos indicus), to investigate the age differences in skin structure of twelve young and twelve adult animals as well as the regional differences in twelve different regions of six adult cadaver. The vertical and horizontal sections were taken on cryostat microtome and stained with H & E stain for micrometry, Hart's stain for elastic fibres, Ferrlc-Ferricyanlde stain for melanin pigmentation and Alcian blue (pH 2.5) and PAS stain for mucopolysaccharides. The study was made on epidermis and dermis, various structural characteristics of sweat glands and hair follicles as well as the distribution of melanin pigment, elastic fibres and mucopolysaccharides, giving more emphasis on thermoregulatory structures. The mean total thickness of fresh skin biopsy snippets from mid-side region was significantly higher in adult animals (4.49 ± 0.37 mm) than that of the young animals (2.78 ± 0.20 mm).

    HISTOMORPHOLOGICAL AND HISTOCHEMICAL STUDY OF FALLOPIAN TUBE, UTERUS, CERVIX AND VAGINA OF THE SURTI BUFFALO (Bubalus bubalis ) DURING VARIOUS PHASES OF ESTROUS CYCLE
    (AAU, Anand, 1990) Pandya, Sweta P.; Vyas, K. N.
    The present investigation on histomorphological and histochemical changes in fallopian tube, uterus, cervix and vagina during various phases of estrous cycle, was carried out on 24 (6 in each phase) non-gravid genitalia of Surti buffaloes. The samples for the study, were collected from infundibular, ampullary and isthmic regions of the fallopian tube, the middle part of uterine horn, the external os of the cervix and from the mid-vaginal region and were preserved i n 10 per cent neutral buffered formalin. Then they were processed to obtain paraffin sections and were stained with Harris' haematoxylin and eosin. The histochemical study was carried out on the frozen sections, taken immediately after collection of samples, for detection of mucopolysaccharides. Alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) activity. The epithelium of fallopian tube was pseudostratified low to tall columnar with varying member of cilia and goblet cells in different region and phases. The uterine epithelium was medium to low columnar with patches of pseudostratified columnar epithelium during estrus phase, while other phases showed pseudostratified tall columnar epithelium with goblet cells. The epithelium of uterine gland was %all columnar in type, but it was low columnar with patches of pseudostratified columnar epithelium in superficial uterine glands during estrus and metestrus phases. The simple columnar cervical epithelium was tall during proestrus and estrus phases and low during metestrus and diestrus phases. The vaginal epithelium was stratified squamous, non-keratinized but the epithelial type of superficial layer and total number of layer varied during different phases. The thickness of epithelium in different organs varied during various phases. The thickness was maximum during estrus phase in fallopian tube, superficial as well as basal uterine glands, cervix and vagina. However, the thickness of endometrium and its epithelium, was maximum during diestrtis phase. The number of primary folds, was maximum during diestrus phase while, that of secondary folds was maximum in estrus phase in all the three regions of fallopian tube. Amongst the three regions of fallopian tube, the primary and secondary folds were decreasing in number from infundibulum to isthmus. The lumen diameter was maximum in infundibulum and minimum in isthmus and it also showed phase-wise differences.
