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 PHARMACOKINETICS AND SAFETY OF CIPROFLOXACIN IN COW CALVES
    (AAU, Anand, 2000) BHAVSAR, S. K.; Verma, M. P.
    The present study was conducted to determine the pharmacokinetics of ciprofloxacin after single dose intravenous, intramuscular or subcutaneous administration and multiple-dose intravenous administration. Additionally safety of multiple intravenous doses was evaluated. Following single dose (5 mg/kg of body weight) and multiple-dose (5 mg/kg of body weight repeated at twelve hour intervals for two and five days) intravenous administration of ciprofloxacin, the therapeutically effective serum ciprofloxacin concentration (> 0.12 µg.ml-1) was maintained for up to 8 hours. The pharmacokinetics of the drug was best described by two-compartment open model following the single and multiple-dose intravenous administration of ciprofloxacin. The drug was widely distributed (Vd area; 1.99 ± 0.07 1 kg-1) and rapidly eliminated (t1/2β; 1.69 ± 0.12 hours) following intravenous administration. The drug was not detectable 12 hours after the fourth or tenth intravenous doses given at the rate of 5 mg/kg of body weight in calves. Single and multiple-dose pharmacokinetics of the drug were found to be identical. Following single-dose administration at the rate of 5 mg/kg of body weight, therapeutically effective serum ciprofloxacin concentration was detectable at 2 minutes after intravenous and intramuscular administration and at 8 minutes after subcutaneous administration, However, the concentration was maintained for longer time after subcutaneous administration (12 hours) than following intramuscular administration (8 hours).

    PHARMACOKINETIC STUDIES OF METRONIDAZOLE IN COW CALVES AFTER INTRAVENOUS AND ORAL ADMINISTRATION
    (AAU, Anand, 1991) BHAVSAR, S. K.; Malik, J. K.
    In the present study, pharmacokinetics and dosage of metronidazole were determined in cow calves following single intravenous (20 mg/kg body weight) and oral (20 and 50 mg/kg body weight) administration. As compared to intravenous administration lower levels of metronidazole were estimated in plasma following oral adminis tration . The therapeutic plasma concentration of metronidazole was maintained upto 6 h following intravenous administration. Whereas after oral administration at dosage levels of 20 and 50 mg/kg body weight, it was maintained for 3 and 10 h, respectively, The pharmacokinetics of metronidazole after intravenous administration was best described by a two-compartment open model, following intravenous administration, the distribution and elimination half lives , volume of distribution and total body clearance were 0.07 ± 0.01 h, 1.92 ± 0.05 h, 0.79 ± 0.03 1.kg-1 and 283.49 ± 6.15ml. h-1. kg-1 respectively.
