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 HELMINTHIC INFECTION IN HORSE (Equus caballus)
    (DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY PARASITOLOGY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) Prakriti Singh; Dr. P. V. Patel
    The study was carried out to ascertain the monthwise, seasonwise, agewise, sexwise, breedwise, and overall prevalence as well as haematological and biochemical aspects of gastrointestinal helminthosis in horses at Anand District of Gujarat. The study was undertaken for the period of twelve months from March-2016 to February-2017. The faecal samples were collected from the horses brought to the Veterinary Clinical Complex (VCC), Department of Surgery and Radiology, College of Veterinary Science and A. H., AAU, Anand and the surrounding field areas. For recording and findings of prevalence, faecal samples of horses were collected for the detection and identification of eggs of gastrointestinal helminths as per standard method.

    STUDIES ON PREVALENCE, HAEMATOBIOCHEMICAL ALTERATIONS AND DIAGNOSTIC ASPECTS OF Trypanosoma evansi USING ADVANCED MOLECULAR TOOL AND BLOOD SMEAR EXAMINATION IN CATTLE AND BUFFALOES
    (COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) Suchit S. Pandya; Dr. J. J. Hasnani
    In the present study, the prevalence of Trypanosomosis in cattle and buffaloes was studied by examination of blood samples collected from Anand and Mahisagar districts, Gujarat during the period from January 2016 to December 2016. Blood smear examination was done using microscope (100x) and stained with giemsa’s. A total of 502 and 495 blood samples of cattle and buffaloes were collected from Anand and Mahisagar districts and of which 66 (13.33%) and 42 (8.16%) samples were found positive for Trypanosoma evansi, respectively. The highest prevalence rate was observed in the month of September 11.94% and lowest in April 0.0% whereas the, highest prevalence was recorded in the month of October 20.63 % and lowest in April 4.76 % for cattle and buffaloes from Anand and Mahisagar districts, Gujarat. It was also observed that, occurrence of infection was increased from June up to the month of February except in November in cattle and buffaloes where it was decreased and from March onwards occurrence of the infection was decreased up to the month of June.

    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.

    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.

    Transcriptome Analysis of Paramphistomum cervi of water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) using next generation sequencing
    (AAU, Anand, 2013) CHOURASIA, REETIKA; PATEL, P. V.
    Rumen flukes are economically important parasites (Platyhelminthes: Trematoda: Digenea) that attack livestock adversely thereby affecting their productivity. In spite of its economic importance, molecular biology of the Paramphistomum cervi and its interaction with its hosts is still unknown. Advances in transcriptomic and bioinformatics provide biologically relevant insights into parasites, their developmental stages and their relationships with their hosts at the molecular level. The present study elucidates the first transcriptome and gene expression profiling of the adult stage of Paramphistomum cervi using next-generation (high throughput) sequencing and advanced in silico analyses. Expression level for predicted proteins of Paramphistomum cervi of buffalo were determined and classified based on homology, gene ontology and pathway mapping. These findings are expected to provide new insights into the genetic architecture and pathophysiology of Paramphistomum cervi and for the development of improved interventions for disease control. It will also facilitate a more fundamental understanding of Paramphistomes biology, evolution and the host-parasite interplay. Moiphological characteristics of adult fluke were identified as conical shape, elongate, curved ventrally, with evenly curved dorsal and ventral borders. Cuticle is provided with prominent tubercules/papillae on anterior l/3rd to half of the body. Tubercles are more extensive ventrally. Acetabulum is subtemiinal. hitestinal caeca have 7 nearly identical bends with ventrally directed temiinal part. Testes are tandem, oval or angularly oval or spherical and are deeply lobed. Gross examination of affected rumen showed, anaemic rumen with atrophied, degenerated and sloughing tips of villi. Removal of flukes revealed marked knobs at the attachment sites. Histopathology of rumen revealed proliferation of epithelium in the vicinity of flukes, along with villous atrophy and infiltration of macrophages and eosinophils. Transcriptome analysis of adult stage of Paramphistomum ceni was carried out at Department of Animal Biotechnology. Total RNA was extracted from parasites using TRIzol® (Invitrogen, UK)/ RNeasy® mini kit and mRNA isolation from the total RNA was carried out by using mRNA isolation kit. The quality and quantity of RNA and mRNA checked by running the sample on NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer. Concentration of RNA of adult fluke was 2,608 ng/µl and mRNA was 100 ng/µl. The cDNA library was constructed using the Ion Total RNA-Seq Kit v2. According to Qubit®Fluorometer, concentration of cDNA was 1.19 ng/µl and based on Aligent 2100 Bioanalyzer concentration of cDNA is 1.25 ng/µl.
