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 PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL AGENTS ON THE IONIC CONCENTRATION, CUTICULAR SECRETION, AND RATE OF MORTALITY IN THE DIFFERENT STAGES OF TICK, Hyalomma Anatolicum Anatolicum KOCH, 1844
    (AAU, Anand, 1984) Shah, Vallabh Ochhvolal; Avsatthi, B. L.
    The normal ionic concentration of haemolymph, cuticular secretion (wax), and rae of mortality in different stages of tick, Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum Koch, 1844, and the alternations displayed by them to acclimatize the disturbed condition in response to the Silica (as an physical agent); Dimilin (anti-cuticulin substance), Kabat (growth regulator); and Ekalux and Sumiciddin (as an Acaricides) were investigated during present study. Such experiment on different stages of tick Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum with different treatments indicated the potentiality of this tick to attain acclimatization easily by altering its basic homeostasis. In such tick nine biochemical characteristics were studied as a base for normal homeostasis and they were correleated with the rate of mortality in response to various treatments.

    ECTOPARASITES OF CAMEL (Camelus dromedarius) WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO TICK FAUNA
    (AAU, Anand, 1987) PATEL, ABDULKADAR ISMAIL; AVSATTHI, B. L.
    Ticks, mites, flies and myiasis producing maggots were observed on body of camels during the period of investigation i.e. March 1985 to November 1986. The predominant tick species was found to be Hyaloma dromedarii. Other species encountered were H. impeltatum. H. marginatum, H. anatolicum anatolicum, H. truncatum, H. hussaini and Rhipicephalus spp. H.a.anatolicum preferred to feed on perianal region, H. marginatum on perineum and below the base of tail while H. dromedarii and H. impeltatum were observed on all over the body. Other important sites included nasal nares, shoulder and throat. Clipping of hairs resulted in concentration of ticks in nasal nares and perineum. Only adults and nymphs were observed on the body of camel while larvae were never seen. Maximum tick infestation was observed during summer while low during winter reaching to the lowest level in December (Average temperature: Maximum 28.47°C; Minimum 12.17°C and relative 67.75 percent).
