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.

    COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF INTRADERMAL TUBERCULIN TEST, IMMUNO CHROMATOGRAPHIC ASSAY & POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION FOR DIAGNOSIS AND PREVALENCE OF BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS
    (DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY MICROBIOLOGY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, ANAND, 2020) Chaudhari Pravin J.; Dr. B. B. Bhanderi
    Bovine TB (bTB) is highly infectious, chronic bacterial zoonosis disease. M. tuberculosis primarily affects humans (TB), while M. bovis causes bovine tuberculosis and affects a wide variety of hosts including domestic animals, humans, and wildlife. Present study was carried out on comparison of single intradermal comparative cervical tuberculin (SICCT) test, single intradermal tuberculin (SIT) test, immunochromatographic/lateral flow assay (LFA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the diagnosis and prevalence of bovine tuberculosis in Anand, Rajkot and Mehsana districts of Gujarat state. During the period from January-2019 to February-2020, a total of 800 animals (620 cattle & 180 buffalo) from 20 farms were screened by SICCT test. SICCT test was carried out as per OIE Terrestrial Manual (2009) using PPD-A and PPD-B tuberculin’s. The reaction was considered to be positive if there was an increase of 4mm or more in skin-fold thickness in bovine site (PPD-B) than avian site (PPD-A). In the positive animals, increase in skin fold thickness were observed between 4mm to 13mm. Of the 800 SICCT tested animals, 1.37% (11) were SICCT positive, 12.87% (103) were Avian positive (PPD-A) and 10.62% (85) were SIT positive (PPD-B).

    CELL CULTURE PROPAGATION, RNA-PAGE ANALYSIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ROTAVIRUS BY G AND P GENOTYPING
    (Department of Veterinary Microbiology College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2020) Luhar Deep K.; Dr. R. A. Mathakiya
    Rotaviruses cause diarrhoea in cattle, buffaloes, horses, sheep, goats, pigs and, poultry which poses great loss in livestock and meat industry. Rotavirus is classified under the family Reoviridae and having “cartwheel” shaped morphology. Due to segmented nature of the Rotavirus RNA genome and wide host range, vast genetic and antigenic diversity exists amongst different isolates of Rotavirus many different types are circulating in particular geographic location, it causes annual loss of approximately $9.5 million USD worldwide. In horses, the frequency of detection of rotaviruses in clinical cases varies and they appear to be endemic many parts of the world. Rotavirus infection in poultry causes clinical signs like diarrhoea, dehydration, anorexia, loss of weight gain, nutrient malabsorption, and runting and stunting syndrome.

    ISOLATION, IDENTIFICATION AND ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE IN ESCHERICHIA COLI OBTAINED FROM VARIOUS ANIMAL SPECIES AND BIRDS
    (Department of Veterinary Microbiology College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2020) Ravindrakumar B. Khant; Dr. R. A. Mathakiya
    E. coli is well-known as a commensal of the digestive tract. E. coli is the major causative agent of diarrhea in animals viz. cattle, buffaloes, dogs etc. and various conditions in poultry. Extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing E. coli are resistant against beta-lactam antibiotics. Thus, detection of beta-lactamase resistance is important to select suitable antibiotics to prevent treatment failure. Moreover, integrons are responsible for the evolution and unfold of antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs). Thus, due to increasing antibiotic resistant amongst E. coli isolates and recognizing the importance of ESBL producing E. coli and integrons responsible for antibiotic resistance the present study was undertaken with the objectives to isolate E. coli from various animals and birds species, study antibiogram profile of those E. coli isolates, detection of ESBL producing E. coli amongst those isolates and to detect ARGs and integron gene in those isolates.

    SEROSURVEILLANCE AND INCIDENCE OF CANINE DISTEMPER VIRUS (CDV) IN CANINES AND MOLECULAR DETECTION BY RT-PCR
    (Department of Veterinary Microbiology College of Veterinary science and Animal Husbandry Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2020) Joshi Vedanshee R.; Dr. M. K. Jhala
    Canine distemper (CD) is a fatal disease of dogs with a worldwide distribution. The causative agent is Canine distemper virus (CDV) belonging to genus Morbillivirus of family Paramyxoviridae of order Mononegavirales. Considering the importance of CDV for canine health management, and the need for studying suitable diagnostic assays for prompt diagnosis, the present study was undertaken focusing on serosurveillance of CDV antibo dies and incidence of the virus by various diagnostic assays in various districts of Gujarat state.

    ISOLATION, ELECTROPHEROTYPING AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF BOVINE ROTAVIRUS FROM DIARRHOEAL SAMPLES OF BOVINE CALVES
    (Department of Veterinary Microbiology College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2019) Golaviya Akash V.; Dr. R. A. Mathakiya
    Among the infectious diseases of calves, acute gastroenteritis and neonatal calf diarrhoea are two major causes of mortality in neonates of farm animals caused by multiple etiological agents all over the world. Rotaviruses constitute the single major entity of potentially pathogenic gastroenteritis in animals and humans. Rotavirus is classified as a member of family Reoviridae, genus Rotavirus, with a distinct “cartwheel” structure when viewed in negative electron microscopy. Due to segmented nature of the Rotavirus RNA genome and wide host range, vast genetic and antigenic diversity exists amongst different isolates of Rotavirus. Bovine Rotavirus cause significant economic loss in the dairy and meat industry due to increased morbidity and mortality, treatment costs, and reduced growth rates. In neonatal calves, about 5-20% mortality rate is observed due to Bovine Rotavirus in calves. In India, the prevalence of Rotavirus in calf diarrhoea, below one month of age, ranges between 10-52%.

    IN VITRO EFFICACY OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS SPP. AND ESCHERICHIA COLI-SPECIFIC BACTERIOPHAGE AND DETECTION OF ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE GENES IN PHAGE GENOME
    (DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY MICROBIOLOGY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) KULKARNI PRATIK MANOHAR; Dr. B. B. Bhanderi
    Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been a growing threat to the effective treatment of an ever-increasing range of infections caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites. The current lack of new antimicrobials on the horizon to replace those that become ineffective brings added urgency to the need to protect the efficacy of existing drugs, as well as to explore novel strategies for ameliorating the current situation with regards to AMR. AMR has also been observed among Staphylococcus spp., a major etiological agent for diseases such as mastitis in bovines, bumblefoot in poultry and pyoderma in dogs, and Escherichia coli, a major etiological agent for diseases such as colibacillosis in poultry, coliform mastitis in bovines, neonatal diarrhoea and joint ill in calves. Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses capable of infection and replication in bacterial cells and the potential of phages as a therapeutic tool has been known since phages have been known to exist.
