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.

    STUDIES ON GASTRO-INTESTINAL NEMATODIASIS IN SHEEP UNDER FARM AND FIELD CONDITION IN PALANPUR DISTRICT OF NORTH GUJARAT
    (AAU, Anand, 1984) MOMIN, R. R.; Avsatthi, B. L.
    Studies were conducted from February 1983 to January 1984 (12 months). Faecal samples of 20 Patanwadi ewes, 20Patanwadi female lambs, 20 Crossbred ewes, 20 Exotic rams and 20 Marwadi ewes were collected per rectum from individual sheep at 2 week intervals. The degree of infestation was measured by egg counting and subsequent larval differentiation from faecal cultures. The post mortem materials for the study were collected for examination from sheep slaughtered in private slaughter house in Doesa. Four adult sheep of Marwadi breed were examined every month for the purpose, For Haematological study the samples from 3 Patanwadi adult ewes, 3Crossbred adult ewes and 3 Patanwadi female lambs were taken once in a month. Climatological data was collected from the Arid zone Meterological Station in Sardarkrishinagar.

    STUDY ON THE SCHISTOSOMA NASALE INFESTATION IN CATTLE WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO HISTOPATHOLOGICAL, BIOCHEMICAL AND HAEMATOLOGICAL ASPECTS
    (AAU, Anand, 1993) STHANKI, D. G.; AVSATTHI, B. L.
    Present study was undertaken in cattle of Valsad district to know the incidence of Schistosoma nasale with changejin histopathological, total serum protein and haematological value of animal's body. Total 101 cattle from different villages were screened amongst which 61 cattle revealed the infestation of S.nasale on the basis of microscopic examination of nasal discharges for typical boomerang shaped ova. Thirteen cattle were selected as unaffected. Incidence of nasal schistosomiasis was not influenced by the age, sex and breeds of cattle though there were numerical differences amongst cattle for S.nasale infestation. Site of predilection for S«nasale was anterior nasal chamber of cattle at which it caused various type of proliferative and granulomatous changes in scheiderian membrane. The clinical manifestations of nasal schistosomiasis were observed highest during monsoon, 27 out of 39 (69.23 per cent), moderate in summer, 25 out of 43 (59.06 per cent) and lower in winter, 9 out of 19 (47.68 per cent) which was in accordance with environmental condition of areas which favoured the propagation of intermediate host Indoplanorbis exustus and Lymnaea luteola snails. The incidence of S,nasale was higher in July, 10 out of 13 (79.92 per cent), August, 13 out of 18 (72.22 per cent) and March, 5 out of 7 (71.41 per cent), while lowest in October, November and December, 1 out of 3 (33.33 per cent) in each month. Microscopic examination of nasal discharges from 101 cattle revealed ova of S.nasale in 61 cases which were showing clinical lesions of nasal granuloma. Faecal examination of these 6l S.nasale infested cattle, 40 revealed ova of gastrointestinal nematodes but these were devoid of S.nasale ova. Total serum proteins estimated from 39 S.nasale infested cattle and 13 unaffected cattle showed highly significant difference (P /O.01). The mean value observed from S.nasale infested cattle (9.482 g per cent) was higher than the unaffected cattle (8.54 g per cent). The fractions of serum proteins observed from electrophoresis showed significant difference for albumin (P /O.05) and highly significant difference for globulin (P (0.01 ) for S.nasale infested and unaffected cattle. Cattle having S.nasale infestation showed hypoalbuminaemia and hyperglobulinaeniia.

    STUDIES ON ECTOPARASITES OF BUFFALOES (Bubalus bubalis) IN JUNAGADH AND KHEDA DISTRICTS OF GUJARAT STATE
    (AAU, Anand, 1988) KIKANI, M. H.; Avsatthi, B. L.
    Tick, mange-mites, fleas , lice and flies were enooantered on buffaloes (Bubal us bubalis ) during the period of investigation i.e . July 1987 to June 1988, Investigation work was canned out in Junagadh and Kheda districts of Gujarat State. The predominant species of ticks recoiled was Hyalomma anatolicum anato- licum followed by H.marginatum isaaci, Haemaphysalis bispinosa, Boophilus annulatus. B.miroplus, Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides, and Hyalomma (H.) hussaini. H.a.anatolicum chiefly preferred to feed on perineal region, udder, scrotum, base of the tail, switch of the tail and axilla region; while H.marginatoia Isaaci preferred on perianum, base of the tail and switch of the tail; H.(H.) hussaini and Haemaphysalis bispinosa were observed on neck region; Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides, were mainly observed on axilla and neck region; Boophilus annulatas were found on axilla and perineal region and B.mioroplus were observed on perineal region.

    STUDIES ON HAEMATOLOGICAL VAIUES, SKIN LESIONS AND TOTAL PROTEIN PROFILE IN CAMELS NATURALLY INFECTED WITH SARCOPTES SCABIEI AND NEMATODES BEFORE AND AFTER TREATMENT WITH IVERMECTIN
    (AAU, Anand, 1990) Nayee, A. S.; Avsatthi, B. L.
    The present study was undertaken in camels to know the incidence of Sarcoptes soahiei and gastro - intestinal nematodes and subsequently to these conditions with ivermectin, in Kheda, Mehsana and Gandhinagar districts of Gujarat State, A total of 123 camels from 33 villages were screened of which 89 revealed the infection of S, scabiel. In the examination of faeces 78 out of 89 camels revealed ova of Trichostrongylid and 55 had also mixed infection of Trichuris spp. Out of 89 positive scabies camels, 60 were treated with ivermectin in this study. These animals were divided into three groups, severe-I, moderate-II and mild-III consisting 24, 24 and 12 animals respectively, Camels of Group I were divided into Group IA and IB, each having 12 animals and an average mite count of 513.7 ± 3.2 and 501.1 ± 11.5 per gram of skin scraping respectively. Group IA was treated with a single dose of ivermectin at @ 200 μg/kg body weight which resulted In reduction of mite count to 285.4 ± 7.9, 150.0 ± 13.9, 84.6 ± 9.3 and 60.0 ± 5.0 respectively after 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day of treatment.

    INTERNAL PARASITES OF GOATS AND SHEEP WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO HAEMATOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL STUDIES
    (AAU, Anand, 1989) PATEL, PREMDAS VINODBHAI; AVSATTHI, B. L.
    Present study was conducted from March, 1988 to February, 1989, Faecal samples of 30 goats and 30 sheep maintained under field and farm conditions were collected directly per rectum from individual animal at regular intervals Faecal samples were examined by Qualitative method and the degree of infection was measured by means of egg counting (Mc Master and Stoll 's technique) and larval differentiation was done by culturing faecal samples. The post-mortem materials from 24goats and 24- sheep each under field and farm conditions were collected every month and also the blood was collected for haematological study. Serum was separated out from these blood samples for biochemical study of serum calcium, phosphorus and total serum protein in infected and uninfected control goats and sheep. Study included the seasonal incidence of Fasciola gigantica Amphistomes, Trichostrongylid spp., Trichuris spp., Moniezia spp. ova in faeces. Oocyst of coccidia and cysts of ciliates. Mostly mixed infection were observed and marked variation was observed in the faecal egg count within as well as between various collections. The incidence of parasitic load was higher during monsoon as compared to winter and summer seasons.
