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.

    CLINICO-PATHOLOGICAL STUDIES OF RUMINAL ALKALOSIS AND ITS THERAPY IN BUFFALOES
    (AAU, Anand, 1983) DESAI, PANKAJ U.; Dave, M. R.
    Ruminal alkalosis caused by sudden change in diets with excessive amount of protein rich and non-protein nitrogenous substances, and poor qualityroughage is clinically characterrized by anorexia, dullness, ruminal stony, staxia and drop in milk yield in lactating animals. The condition may be sub-acute, acute and chronic in nature and the affected animals may die due to intoxication in acute condiion if timely therapeutic aid is not available. Farmers suffer from economic loss in production and death. The present study envisages the clinico-pathological aspects of the ruminal alkalosis in experimental and clinical cases in buffaloes which may help in understanding the pathogenesis early diagnosis and suitable treatment.

    DIAGNOSIS OF JOHNE'S DISEASE IN CATTLE BY ALLERGIC TEST, PASSIVE HAEM-AGGLUTINATION TEST AND HISTOPATHOLOGICAL EXAMINATION
    (AAU, Anand, 1982) MEHTA, NIRANJAN J.; TAMHANKAR, V. D.
    Johne's disease is an infectious and fatal, chronic, wasting disease of farm animals. The farm economy is greatly affected, bringing financial loss to farmers. Therefore an early detection of the disease in farm animals will benefit the farmers and preventive measures can be taken in time. Various tests are employed to establish the diagnosis of the disease in farm animals however, no single test is specific and sensitive for the detection of the disease and hence timely preventive measures can not be taken. With the above limitations in the diagnosis of Johne's disease in farm animals, the present work was undertaken to study the incidence of Johne's disease in Jersey, Cross-bred and Kankrej animals at Gujarat Agricultural University Farms, Anand employing three major comparative tests during the year 1960 and 1981. During the 1980, 373 animals (Jersey 186, Cross-bred 19 and Kankrej 168; were tested by single intradermal Johnin test and seven animals (1.88 per cent) were positive reactors to this test, while in the year 1981 out of 370 animals (Jersey 168, Cross-bred 79 and Kankrej 123; 18 animals (4.86 per cent; were reactors to the test. Sera samples of these 25 animals were put to passive haemagglutination test and the titre varied from 1:8 to 1:256. These animals were sacrificed and detailed post-mortem examination was carried out. The acid-fast bacilli were detected in ileo-caecal valve and mesentric lymph nodes in all animals, while tissues showed characteristic lesions. Results were discussed and compared along with the merits and demerits of each test and their implications were emphasized. It can be concluded from the results of the present study that the single intradermal test has a definite diagnostic value in the detection of Johne's disease in farm animals.

    A SURVEY STUDY ON THE INCIDENCE AND ROLE OF Salmonella AND Escherichia coli IN DIARRHOEAL DISEASES OF BUFFALO CALVES.
    (AAU, Anand, 1982) LATIF, MOHAMED SIREL KHATIM ABOEL; TAMHANKAR, V. D.
    Faecal samples from 160 diarrhoeic as well as apparently healthy buffalo calves were collected from villages round about Anand and processed for Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Escherichia coli with a possible inter-current parasitic infection. A higher incidence of diarrhoea was observed in female buffalo calves (63.78%) than in males (36.22%). Severe diarrhoeic syndromes were noticed in calves upto one month of age.

    STUDIES ON BIOCHEMICAL CHANGES IN RUMINAL FLUID AND BLOOD IN POST-PARTURIENT ANOREXIA CONDITION IN BUFFALOES
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) DESAI, HARENDRA A.; DAVE, M. R.
    The study on biochemical changes in ruminal fluid and blood constituents in post-parturient anorexia in buffaloes was taken up at Veterinary College Hospital and Ambulatory Clinics, Anand from July, 1985 to January, 1986. A total of 304 clinical cases of buffaloes were screened and 47 cases with the history of upto 50 days post-parturient period and anorexis of 2 to 3 days duration were taken up for the detailed study. On the basis of history and clinical findings, these cases were classified into simple indigestion (4), diarrhoea (10), tympany (Bloat) (8), diaphragmatic hernia (4), ruminal acidosis (3), ruminal alkalosis (2), parturient paresis (5), ketosis (3), prolapse of vagina (3), and retention of placenta (5). A group of normal cycling buffaloes (10) in post-partum stage was kept as control group.

    CLINICO-PATHOLOGICAL STUDIES ON RUMINAL ACIDOSIS AND ITS THERAPY IN BUFFALOES
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) PATEL, KULIN K.; Dave, M. R.
    Ruminal acidosis is an economically important digestive disorder caused by an excessive intake of fermentable carbohydrate, and characterised by anorexia, rumen stasis, diarrhoea, depression, decreased milk yield in lactating animals and even death if timely treatment is not available. The present study was taken up to investigate the clinico-pathological aspects of ruminal acidosis in experimental and clinical cases of buffaloes with a view to understanding its pathogenesis, possibilities of early diagnosis and formulation of suitable treatment.

    STUDIES ON HAEMATOLOGICAL AND BLOOD BIOCHEMICAL CHANGES IN CALF DIARRHOEA
    (AAU, Anand, 1984) PANDIT, HARSHAD J.; DAVE, M. R.
    Diarrhoea in young calves is one of the main factors causing a great financial loss to the farmers. The present study was taken up to investigate haematological and biochemical changes taking place in cases of diarrheic cattle and buffalo calves on organised farms and field cases during he period from April, 1983 to March, 1984 with a view to correlate such changes with prognosis and early diagnosis so that proper therapeutic measures can be taken up.

    (AAU, Anand, 1982) MOHAMED, SIREL KHATIM ABDEL LATIF; TAMHANKAR, V. D.
    Faecal samples from 160 diarrhoeic as well as apparently healthy buffalo calves were collected from villages round about Anand and processed for Escherichia coli. Salmonella and internal parasites to assess the role of Salmonella and Escherichia coli with a possible inter-current parasitic infection. A higher incidence of diarrhoea was observed in female buffalo calves (63.78%) than in males (36.22%). Severe diarrhoeic syndromes were noticed in calves upto one month of age.
