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.

    PATHO - EPIDEMIOLOGICAL AND MOLECULAR IDENTIFICATION OF CHICKEN ANAEMIA VIRUS IN BROILERS
    (Department of Veterinary Pathology College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2020) Kabariya Digjay Vasantbhai; Dr. C. J. Dave
    Chicken infectious anemia (CIA) is known to be an emerging, immunosuppressive and highly contagious disease that affects young broiler chickens from 3 weeks of age. The disease's causative agent is Chicken anaemia virus (CAV), which belongs to the genus Gyrovirus of Circoviridae family. In commercial broilers, there is a better need to diagnose the sub-clinical type of CIA in the field because it interferes with the development of an immune system that makes affected birds more vulnerable to variety of infectious. It is very important to detect subclinical infection of CIA in flock as it is a risk factor for a clinical outbreak in the next flock and it can also cause immunosuppression which can lead to substantial economic loss. The present study was carried out in broiler birds belonging to 25 commercial farms suspected for CIA. The broiler birds having 10 per cent or above variation in size was selected. The pathological study comprised of information related to age, clinical signs, mortality pattern, hematobiochemical studies and gross as well as microscopic lesions in organs like thymus, bursa, bone marrow, liver, spleen and lung of affected broilers. The molecular study comprised extraction of viral DNA from different tissue by PCR for detection of CAV and also for phoA gene of Escherichia coli.
