    THE SANITARY QUALITY OF COMMUNITY DRINKING WATER SUPPLIES AT GUJARAT AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, ANAND CAMPUS, ANAND
    (AAU, Anand, 1990) CHAURASIA, A. K.; Anjaria, J. M.
    The sanitary quality of community drinking water supplies of Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand Campus, Anand, was determined by bacteriological examination both quantitatively and qualitatively. The levels of index organisms such as coliforms, faecal streptococci and E.coli type I were extimated. Parasitic assessment of drinking water supplies was also made. An attempt was made to find out suitable indicator of faecal pollution as well as to draw correlation, if any, between pollution index and number of diarrhoeal cases occurring in human population at studied campus. At Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand Campus, there were two different sources of drinking water supplies, one in each of the two residential campuses i.e. Veterinary and Khetiwari; and study was carried out separately for both the campuses in two runs i.e. in rainy season (July 1989 to October 1989) and winter season (November 1989 to February 1990). Standard techniques were used for processing all the 130 tap water and four samples from source of water supplies. The quality of drinking water supplies at both the campuses during whole course of study, was not up to the standard as recommended by WHO.

    STUDIES ON THE INCIDENCE OF ASPERGILLOSIS IN POULTRY AND POULTRY HANDLERS
    (AAU, Anand, 1990) Savalia, C. V.; Pal, Mahendra
    The present stady was coiadacted to record the incidence of palmonary aspergillosis in the White Iieghom chicken, and in the poaltry handlers. In addition, environmental distribution of aspergilli was studied in feed, litter , soil and air of different pens on the All India Co-ordinated Research Project (AICRP) Poultry Farm under Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand Campus, Anand and Patel Poultry Parm, Navli, District Kheda, Gujarat. Pour hundred fifty specimens of the trachea, lungs and abdominal or thoracic air sacs of 150 White leghorn chicken: were investigated for the gross lesions, histopathologtoal examination and cultural isolation . None of the birds showed gross pathological lesions of the disease on autopsy. The histopathologioal examination also could not reveal the presence of the fungi in the tissues . However, 23.98 per cent (108 out of 450) specimens of the trachea, lungs and air sacs yielded aspergilli on the cultural isolation. This included 9.33 per cent of A.niger 7.55 per cent of A.fumigatus, 5.11 per cent of A.flavus, 1.33 per cent of A.terreus and 0.22 per cent each of A.vyolaceous. A.stelletus and A.chevalieri. Growths were identified on the basis of ths colonial and microscopic morphology.
