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 IMMUNOMODULATORY AND GROWTH PROMOTING EFFECTS OF CLOVE OIL IN BROILER CHICKEN
    (Department of Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2020) Parmar Jaydipkumar Kantibhai; Dr. K. A. Sadariya
    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 given basal diet without clove oil and vitamin E and selenium. Group II served as standard control and given vitamin E and 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 clove 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 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 Newcastle Disease Virus vaccine by haemagglutination inhibition (HI) test and biochemical parameters like serum total protein, serum albumin, serum globulin and albumin to globulin ratio (A/G). 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 sacrificed and tissues like thymus, spleen and bursa were collected for histopathological examinations.

    STUDIES ON EFFECT OF FLUNIXIN MEGLUMINE AND FEBRILE CONDITION ON PHARMACOKINETICS OF CEFPIROME AND SAFETY OF SIMULTANEOUS ADMINISTRATION OF CEFPIROME AND FLUNIXIN MEGLUMINE IN SHEEP
    (2020) Vaidehi N. Sarvaiya; Dr. A. M. Thaker
    Cefpirome is a novel fourth generation cephalosporin with bactericidal action. Synergistic interaction between NSAID and antibiotic can potentially prevent the emergence of resistance, increase antibacterial efficacy and provide broader-spectrum of antibacterial activity than antibiotic monotherapy. Flunixin meglumine (FM) is used as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of sepsis and various inflammatory conditions in different ruminant species. Along with this fact, fever is also one of the most common manifestations in bacterial diseases. Looking to these overall points, the study was conducted to evaluate the effect of intramuscularly administered FM (1.1 mg/kg) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced febrile condition on pharmacokinetics of cefpirome following intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM) administrations (10 mg/kg) in sheep and safety of simultaneous administrations of cefpirome (10 mg/kg, IM) with FM (1.1 mg/kg, IM) for five days in sheep by monitoring hematological and blood biochemical profiles, as these kinds of literature is not available in sheep. Cefpirome was assayed in plasma by HPLC.

    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.
