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.

    STUDIES ON IMMUNOMODULATORY AND GROWTH PROMOTING EFFECTS OF CINNAMON OIL IN BROILER CHICKEN
    (Department of Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2020) Goswami Bhavingiri Gautamgiri; Dr. S. K. Bhavsar
    To assess immunomodulatory activity, a total of 60 chicks were divided randomly to 5 groups each of 12 chicks. Group I served as control and was given basal diet without cinnamon oil and vitamin E & selenium. Group II served as standard control and was given vitamin E & selenium containing proprietary product in water at the dose rate of 1.5 grams per 100 birds for first two weeks and 5 grams per 100 birds for next 3 weeks. The remaining groups III, IV and V were given cinnamon oil at the dose rate of 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg diet, respectively. This study was conducted for 35 days. Cutaneous basophil hypersensitivity (CBH) response at two different doses (100 μg and 200 μg) of phytohemagglutinin-P (PHA-P) was carried out to assess the cell mediated immunity on 14th day of age. Blood was collected on 7th, 21st and 35th day of age and serum was separated to estimate antibody titers against ND vaccine by haemagglutination inhibition (HI) test and biochemical parameters like serum total protein, serum albumin, serum globulin and A/G ratio. On 35th day, thin blood smears were prepared and stained with field’s stain to determine differential leucocyte counts microscopically. At the end of the experiment, birds of all groups were slaughtered and tissues like thymus, spleen and bursa were collected for histopathological examinations.
