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.

    “ISOLATION, IDENTIFICATION, MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF BRUCELLA FROM REPRODUCTIVE DISORDERS OF ANIMALS AND SERODETECTION OF BRUCELLA ANTIBODIES
    (Anand Agricultural University, 2008) SANJAY GHODASARA; Dr. Ashish Roy
    Brucellosis is a major bacterial zoonosis of global importance. The causative organism is Gram-negative facultative intracellular pathogens that may affect a range of different mammals including man, cattle, sheep, goats, swine, rodents and marine mammals. Brucellosis is caused by different species of Brucella and is cause significant economically losses to live stock industries. The disease is manifested by reproductive disorder, viz., infertility, retained placenta, abortions and endometritis in livestock species, hence it leads to loss in productivity of animals and consequently to economic losses

    “ISOLATION OF PPR VIRUS, DETECTION BY ELISA AND DIFFERENT GENE BASED RT-PCR”
    (Anand Agricultural University, 2008) Pooja Choudhary; Dr. M.K. Jhala
    Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a severe viral disease of goats and sheep with high morbidity and sometimes high mortality characterized by fever, erosive stomatitis, conjunctivitis, gastroenteritis and pneumonia. PPR is caused by Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV), a Paramyxovirus of the Morbillivirus genus. The disease causes severe economic losses to small ruminant husbandry and is presently considered as one of the major threats to about 200 million small ruminant population of the country. The present study was aimed to detect PPRV in clinical samples using s-ELISA and to derive estimates of overall, locationwise and specieswise incidence of PPRV. The study also involved the isolation of PPR virus from clinical samples and assessment of F, N and H gene targets for detection of PPRV by RT-PCR from

    GENE CLONING AND SEQUENCE ANALYSIS OF CHICKEN INFECTIOUS ANAEMIA (CIA) VIRUS
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2008) CHANNABASAYYA HIREMATH; Dr. M. K. Jhala
    Chicken infectious anemia virus (CIAV) is an economically important and contagious avian pathogen with a worldwide distribution, causing chicken infectious anemia (CIA) in chickens. CIAV is a non-enveloped, icosahedral virus having a single stranded circular DNA genome and belongs to genus Gyrovirus, within the family Circoviridae. In the present study, the suspected CIA incidences were confirmed by PCR applied to different affected tissues collected from clinically affected birds from poultry flocks in and around Anand district of Gujarat. To study the extent of genetic variability of the field CIAV, the nucleotide sequences of VP1, VP2 and VP3 genes of CIAV were determined directly from the cloned PCR products, without isolating the virus in cell culture to obviate the potential genetic nucleotide changes that can possibly occur during cell culture passage. The gene sequences and the deduced aminoacid sequences of VP1, VP2 and VP3 of CIAV were compared with the other Indian and foreign sequences available in GeneBank and phylogenetic analysis based on nucleotide and deduced aminoacid sequences of VP1 was carried out to access the genetic distance of CIAV circulating in the field.

    ISOLATION, IDENTIFICATION, BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION, ANTIBIOGRAM PATTERN AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS FROM CLINICAL AND SUBCLINICAL MASTITIC MILK
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2008) BHANDERI BHARAT BABUBHAI; Dr. Ashish Roy
    Staphylococci are most significant among pathogen causing wide spectrum of diseases in both human and animal beings. Mastitis a disease of cows & buffaloes involved in severe economic losses to farmers & livestock owners world wide. The disease primarily leading to inflammatory conditions of udder is manifested as acute, sub acute or chronic form. The disease may have role of single or multiple etiolological agents leading to inflammatory symptoms. Among various pathogens involve in the disease S. aureus has been reported to be a prominent causal agents for mastitis. Thus the present study was undertaken with a view to know preponderance of Staphylococcus aureus in relation to bovine clinical and subclinical mastitis. The objective were isolation, identification, cultural characterization, PCR & cultural based detection of virulence associated character and in vitro antibiotic sensitivity patterns of Staphylococcus aureus from clinical and subclinical cases of bovine mastitis in and around Anand city of Gujarat.
