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.

J. GhodasaraThe present study was carried out to correlate different criteria of diagnosis of Canine mammary tumours (CMTs) by histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Research work was carried out at Department of Veterinary Pathology, College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, AAU, Anand. Canine mammary tumours were collected from Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex (TVCC) of College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, AAU, Anand, Government polyclinic and private clinics in Gujarat. The objectives of the current research were to study the clinical history of patients, gross morphology of tumour, histopathological characterization of tumour, histopathological classification and incidence, histopathological grading, immunohistochemical study and molecular classification of canine mammary tumours.ThesisItem Open Access Etiopathology of field outbreaks of inclusion body hepatitis, its serotyping and experimental vaccine efficacy study in commercial broiler chicks(DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY PATHOLOGY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) Disha Y. Raval; Dr. D. J. GhodasaraThe present research work was carried out to know the etiopathology of field outbreaks of inclusion body hepatitis and efficacy of commercial vaccines against serotype 4 and 11 of inclusion body hepatitis- hydropericardium syndrome (IBH-HPS) virus. The field study comprised of farm wise mortality, gross and histopathological lesions, molecular diagnosis of IBH-HPS virus and its serotyping. The experimental study comprised of vaccine efficacy study of three commercial vaccines against serotype 4 and 11 of Fowl Adenovirus. The field outbreaks of IBH-HPS were recorded in 22 commercial broiler farms situated around Anand in Gujarat State during January 2016 to December 2016. The mortality of IBH/HPS in these field outbreaks ranged from 0.63 per cent to 11.19 per cent with an overall mortality of 1.83 per cent. Gross lesions of IBH-HPS were mainly observed in the liver and heart. The liver of affected birds was enlarged, friable, pale, had mottled appearance with presence of necrotic foci. Heart showed hydropericardium with presence of moderate to severe accumulation of straw colored fluid in the pericardial sac. Microscopic lesions were most consistently seen in the liver and heart. The section of liver from affected birds showed multifocal area of necrosis, mononuclear cell infiltration in the hepatic parenchyma and presence of basophilic intranuclear inclusion body in the hepatocytes. Few birds also revealed presence of eosinophilic intranuclear inclusion body in the hepatocytes. Histopathological examination of heart revealed mononuclear cell infiltration, severe vascular changes, oedema and mild haemorrhages in myocardium.ThesisItem Open Access PATHOLOGICAL AND MOLECULAR STUDIES ON UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS IN BROILERS WITH SPECIAL REFERANCE TO LOW PATHOGENIC AVIAN INFLUENZA (H9N2), INFECTIOUS BRONCHITIS VIRUS, ESCHERICHIA COLI AND AVIAN MYCOPLASMA(DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY PATHOLOGY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) Chaudhari Sonalben V.; Dr. B.

C; Dr. B. P. JoshiThe present research work was conducted to evaluate the comparative therapeutic effect of febuxostat and allopurinol on diclofenac induced gout in broiler chicks. For the study, a total of one hundred and eight, one day old chicks were divided in six different groups. Group I was kept as control whereas group II was administered with diclofenac at dose of 10 mg/kg bird through oral gavage daily once for 21 days. Group III and IV were administered with febuxostat and allopurinol respectively at the dose rate of 4 mg/kg and 25 mg/kg body weight through oral gavage daily once for 21 days. Similarly, groups V and VI were administered with febuxostat and allopurinol at dose rate of 4 mg/kg and 25 mg/kg respectively along with diclofenac at dose rate of 10 mg/kg through oral gavage daily once for 21 days. The chicks were observed daily for any abnormal behavioral clinical signs, and mortality as well as weekly body weight and feed consumption during the experiment. Six birds from each group were sacrificed by cervical dislocation at the end of each week and blood samples were collected before sacrifice for biochemical analysis. A detailed post mortem examination was performed on chicks which died during the experiment, as well as those sacrificed at the end of every week interval and gross lesions were recorded. Tissue samples (liver, kidney, heart, proventriculus and lung) were collected in 10% formalin for histopathological examination.ThesisItem Open Access AMELIORATIVE EFFECT OF FEBUXOSTAT ON GOUT INDUCED MODEL IN BROILER CHICKS(DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY PATHOLOGY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) Patel Mayankkumar. K; Dr. C. J. DaveThe present research work was conducted on six groups of broiler chicks to establish the effect of febuxostat at various dose level in preventing gout with urates in diclofenac induced toxicity. Group I was kept as control. Group II was administered with diclofenac at dose of 10 mg/kg bird through oral gavage. Group III was administered with febuxostat at dose rate of 2 mg/kg bird through oral gavage. Groups IV, V and VI were administered with febuxostat at dose rate of 2 mg/kg, 4 mg/kg and 6 mg/kg bird with diclofenac at dose rate of 10 mg/kg through oral gavage respectively for 21 days. The chicks were observed daily for any abnormal behavioral clinical signs and mortality as well as weekly body weight and feed consumption during the experiment. Six or survived birds from each group were sacrificed by cervical dislocation at the end of each week and blood samples were collected before sacrifice for hematology and biochemical analysis. A detailed post mortem examination was performed on chicks which died during the experiment as well as six or survived chicks sacrificed at the end of every week during the period experiment and gross lesions were recorded. Tissue samples (liver, kidney, heart, proventriculus, spleen and lung) were collected in 10% neutral buffered formalin for histopathological examination.
