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.

    SUBACUTE TOXICOPATHOLOGICAL STUDIES OF METHOTREXATE IN WISTAR RATS
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2011) Patel Nikul. N; Dr. D. J. Ghodasara
    The present research work was conducted on 24 male and 24 female Wistar rats to study the toxicopathological effects of repeated dose (28 days) of methotrexate. Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 different groups with six males and six females in each group. Animals of group II to IV were given 0.062, 0.125 and 0.250 mg/kg b. wt methotrexate by gavage for 28 days where as group I was administrated only distilled water as (vehicle) control. After completion of 28 days treatment, blood samples were collected for hematology and serum biochemical analysis from retro-orbital plexus with the help of capillary tube. The animals were sacrificed by high dose of anesthesia with Di - ethyl ether. Necropsy examination was performed in all sacrificed animals and gross lesions were recorded. Tissue samples (lung, liver, kidney, intestine, testes and heart) were collected in 10% formalin solution for histopathological examination. The extent and severity of observed symptoms varied according to t

    “SUB ACUTE DERMAL TOXICITY OF ALPHA-HEXYL CINNAMIC ALDEHYDE IN WISTAR RATS”
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2011) PATEL ANKITKUMAR V.; Dr. B. P. Joshi
    Alpha – hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (HCA) is a most important synthetic fragrance and flavoring agent used in human consumer and cosmetic products like soap, perfumes and topically applied medicines. Cinnamaldehyde derivatives are one of the ingradients of topically applied anti fungal sprays. Many people are highly allergic to alpha – hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (HCA) when applied topically. The present research work was conducted to evaluate the

    TOXICOPATHOLOGICAL STUDIES OF ACECLOFENAC IN BROILER CHICKS”
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2013) PATIL VAIBHAV MOHAN; Dr. C. J. Dave
    The present research work was conducted on 100 day old cobb broiler chicks to study the toxicopathological effects of repeated dose (21 days) of aceclofenac. Broiler chicks were randomly divided into 4 different groups each containing 25 chicks. Chicks of group II to IV were given 10, 20 and 30 ppm aceclofenac through feed for 21 days whereas, group I was kept as control. Clinical signs, mortality, feed intake, weight gain, FCR, serum biochemical and pathomorphological studies were done. After completion of 21 days treatment, blood samples were collected for serum biochemical analysis from right jugular vein. At the end of experiment, birds were sacrificed by means of cervical dislocation. A detailed necropsy examination was performed and gross lesions were recorded. Tissue samples (liver, kidney, lung, heart, spleen, proventriculus, gizzard, intestine and bursa of fabricious) were collected in 10% formalin and in absolute alcohol for histopathological examination. During the experimnent, extent and severity of observed symptoms varied

    TOXICOPATHOLOGICAL STUDIES OF FLUNIXIN MEGLUMINE IN LAYER CHICKS”
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2013) PATEL RUHANI A.; Dr. D. J. Ghodasara
    The present research work was conducted on 100 day old BV-300 layer chicks to study the toxicopathological effects of repeated dose (21 days) of flunixin meglumine. Layer chicks were randomly divided into four different groups each containing 25 chicks. Chicks of group II to IV were given 10, 25 and 50 ppm of flunixin meglumine for 21 days whereas, group I was kept as control. After completion of 21 days treatment, blood samples were collected for plasma biochemical analysis from right jugular vein. At the end of experiment birds were sacrificed by means of cervical dislocation. A detailed necropsy examination was performed and gross lesions were recorded. Tissue samples (kidney, liver, heart, spleen, lung and intestine) were collected in 10% formalin solution for histopathological examination. The extent and severity of observed symptoms varied according to the

    “TOXICOPATHOLOGICAL STUDIES OF ACECLOFENAC IN LAYER CHICKS
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2013) PATEL NIKITABEN J.; Dr. B. P. Joshi
    The present research work was conducted on one hundred, one day old BV-300 layer chicks to study the toxicopathological effects of repeated dose (21 days) of aceclofenac. The chicks were randomly divided into four different groups each containing 25 chicks. Chicks of groups II to IV were given 10, 20 and 30 ppm aceclofenac through feed for 21 days whereas, group I was kept as control. The chicks were observed for any abnormal behavioral signs, mortality, weekly body weight gain and feed consumption. After completion of 21 days treatment, blood samples were collected for serum biochemical analysis from right jugular vein. The survived birds were sacrificed by means of cervical dislocation at the end of experiment. A detailed post mortum examination was performed on chicks which died during the experiment as well as sacrificed at the end of the experiment and gross lesions were recorded. Tissue samples (liver, kidney, heart, spleen, lung and intestine) were collected in 10% formalin for histopathological examination. The abnormal behavioral clinical signs like dullness, lethargy, lameness, anorexia

    Etiopathological studies on mortality in emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2013) MUKESH KUMAR KHYALIA; DR. K.S. PRAJAPATI
    Present study on etiopathology of mortality in emus was carried out to know the incidence of various diseases in emu by conducting post-mortem and identifying bacterial, fungal, parasitic, viral, nutritional and other causes for mortality. Seven chick and juvenile, 16 yearling and 27 breeder age group birds consisting of 29 female and 21 male were subjected to post-mortem examination. Mortality was higher in male birds (5/7) of chicks and juvenile age group while in female birds (19/27) of breeder age group.

    “PATHO-EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDIES ON PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY IN REPLACEMENT PULLETS”
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2013) CHUDASAMA KRUPALI B.; Dr. B. P. Joshi
    The present research work was conducted to study the pathological and epidemiological features related to peripheral neuropathy in the field cases involving hundred birds from ten replacement pullet flocks of ten different layer poultry farms around Anand District in Gujarat. Ten sick birds were selected from each of the ten farms for the study. The affected birds in the flocks included in study exhibited signs of paresis and lameness at an age of eight to nine weeks which lasted for a period of six to seven weeks more. In one flock, the signs were observed upto nine weeks after onset at eighth week. The overall lameness was recorded to be 5.44 per cent which ranged from 4.11 to 9.77 between different farms. All the ten flocks studied for PN were vaccinated against MD with bivalent vaccine HVT + SB1 Merial, both at the hatchery and farm level. The clinical signs observed in the birds affected by PN were characterized by
