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.

    THE COMPARISON OF CYTOLOGICAL METHODS, SINGLE RADIAL IMMUNODIFFUSION TESTS AND CULTURAL ISOLATION FOR THE DETECTION OF SUBCLINICAL MASTITIS
    (AAU, Anand, 1982) KALOREY, DEWANAND R.; DHOLAKIA, P. M.
    The present study was taken up with the objectives of assessing the efficacy of the various diagnostic tests to detect the subclinical mastitis in lactating cows. Simultaneously the prevalence of subclinical mastitis (SCM) animal and quarter wise was also studied. The milk samples from 48 milching cows in different lactational status were collected and were subjected to California Mastitis Test (CMT), Direct Microscopic Cell Count (DMC), Modified Whiteside Test (MWT), Polyvalent Radial Immunodiffusion Test (PMT), Monomastest (MMT) and cultural isolation. The incidence of SCM was found to be ranging between 60.41 to 91.66 per cent on animals basis whereas, quarter incidence between 35.29 to 51.30 per cent by various diagnostic tests. No significant difference could be noted in frequency of fore and hind quarter infection but right side infection was observed to have edge over left side. On cultural test staphylococci ranked as a commonest aticlogical agent.

    STUDIES OF GENITAL MICROFLORA IN SURTI BUFFALOES UNDER DIFFERENT REPRODUCTIVE STATUS
    (AAU, Anand, 1981) SHAH, NALIN M.; DHOLAKIA, P. M.
    The present study was taken up with objectives of investigating the genital microflora in Surti buffaloes under different reproductive status viz. Normal animals, animals with endometritis and anestrus animals; to identify and type the isolates, to find out their antibiotic sensitivity pattern in vitro and to assess their pathogenicity in mice. One hundred samples of cervicovaginal mucus from Surti buffaloes which were brought to A. I. clinic, Gujarat Vertinary College, Anand, were examined. Bacteria were isolated from 79 animals and 21 animals did not yield bacteria. Single organism was isolated from 55.6 percent, 50 percent and 50 percent of samples from normal, endometritis and anestrus animals respectively. Two organisms were isolated from 19.45 percent, 19.04 percent and 18.18 percent respectively from the above three groups while three organisms were found in 8.3 percent, 4.76 percent and 13.64 percent of samples respectively from normal, endometritis and anestrus animals.
