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.

    EFFECT OF HERBAL MEDICATION ON ENDOMETRITIS IN BUFFALOES
    (AAU, Anand, 2002) Bajaj, Nitin Kumar; Panchal, M. T.
    The present study on "Effect of herbal medication on endometritis in buffaloes" was conducted on 144 buffaloes suffering from endometritis selected at random among 1,437 infertile buffaloes being presented at AI Centre of College during the period of November 2000 to May 2001. A total of 1,437 buffaloes were examined for infertility problems. Among the various abnormalities encountered, the incidence of endometritis was found to be maximum 30.06 (432) per cent in comparison to total of 69.94 per cent other reproductive abnormalities. Physical characteristics of cervico-vaginal mucus had inconsistent relavance with degree of endometritis. Bacteriological examination of 144 pre-tieatment CVM samples revealed bacterial growth in only 50 (34.72%) CVM samples comprising single and mixed type of bacterial isolates to be 82.00 (41) and 8.00 (9) per cent, respectively. From the overall total of 59 isolates obtained pre-treatment Staphylococcus spp. was found to be maximum (42.38%) followed by Pseudomonas spp. (28.81%), Bacillus spp. (23.73%) and Salmonella spp. (5.08%). Cultural isolation and identification of 103 pre-treatment and 86 posttreatment CVM samples from overall Treatment group (Group T) buffaloes, 26 (25.24%) and 34 (39.53%) CVM samples were found positive for bacterial growth, the difference being statistical significant (P < 0.05). The single and mixed type of bacterial isolates in pre- and post-treatment CVM samples were found to be 84.62 and 15.38 per cent and 88.24 and 11.76 per cent, respectively, comprising Staphylococcus spp., Pseudomonas spp.. Bacillus spp. and Salmonella spp. to be 50.00, 23.33, 20.00 and 6.67 per cent and 44.74, 26.32, 23.68 and 5.26 per cent, respectively. Out of 41 pre-treatment and 38 post-treatment CVM samples from Control group (Group C) buffaloes, 24 (58.24%) and 4 (10.53%) CVM samples were found positive for bacterial isolates, the difference observed being statistical significant (P < 0.05). The single and mixed type of bacterial isolates in pre- and post-treatment CVM samples were found to be 79.16 and 20.84 per cent and 75.00 and 25.00 per cent, respectively, comprising Staphylococcus spp., Pseudomonas spp.. Bacillus spp. and Salmonella spp. to be 34.48, 34.48, 27.58, 27.58 and 3.45 per cent and 60.00, 20.00, 20.00 and 00.00 per cent, respectively. The antimicrobial sensitivity of the isolates from the CVM samples was found to be maximum for Pefloxaein (100.00%) followed by Gentamicin (95.65%), Enrofloxacin (94.60%), Cephalexin (88.00%), Ciprofloxacin (85.18%), Neomycin (76.08%), Chloramphenicol (71.87%), Penicillin-G (55.55%), Amoxycillin (29.72%), Streptomycin (28.26%) and Co-trimoxazole (24.32%). Endometrial biopsies (n=28) were examined histopathologically from 14 buffaloes having normal (n=6) and abnormal (n=8) CVM samples pre- and posttreatment. Out of six pre-treatment biopsies studied in buffaloes with normal CVM discharge, three biopsies had normal endometrium, while remaining one and two showed lesions of acute and subacute endometritis. Post-treatment endometrial biopsies in these buffaloes had recovery from acute (n=l) and sub-acute endometritis (n=l) to normal endometrium (n=2) while one subacute endometritis form changed to acute endometritis form. Among eight pre-treatment biopsies examined in buffaloes with abnormal CVM discharge, two were having normal endometrium, while acute, subacute and chronic endometritis was found in remaining one, two and three biopsies, respectively. Post-treatment uterine biopsies in these buffaloes revealed recovery from acute (n=l), subacute (n=2) and chronic (n=l) endometritis to normal endometrium, while one chronic endometritis form changed to subacute and remaining one did not recover. The per cent recovery rates in Treatment (Overall Treatment group : T) and Control (Control group : C) buffaloes were 63.10 and 80.49, respectively. The overall per cent pregnancy rates in treated and control group buffaloes in their treatment cycle and post-treatment first, second and third cycles were 11.11 Vs 00.00; 77.78 Vs 50.00; 11.11 Vs 00.00 and 00.00 Vs 50.00, respectively. The pooled pregnancy rate for treated and control buffaloes were 8.74 and 4.88 per cent, respectively.
