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.

    EVALUATION OF SMALL INTESTINAL VIABILITY BY INTRAVENOUS INJECTION OF FLUORESCEIN DYE IN BUFFALO CALVES
    (AAU, Anand, 1988) TANK, PRAFULCHANDRA H.; Parsania, R. R.
    The present study was carried out on 12 buffalo calves of 8 to 12 months in age. In each calf, two types of vascular obstructions viz., Ischemic strangulation obstruction (ISO) and Haemorrhagic strangulation obstruction (HSO) were created by clamping 30-35 on segment of jajumum with its associated arteries and veins, and only veins, respectively. Animals were randomly divided into three groups of four animals each, according to the duration of ischemia viz., 1, 3 and 6 hours. The viability of intestinal segments were evaluated grosely by standard clinical criteria (SCC), fluorescein dye injection, morbid angiography and histopathologically at the end of specific occlusion period.

    CLINICOPATHOLOGIC EVALUATION OF ESCHERICHIA COLI LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDE INDUCED ARTHRITIS IN BUFFALO CALVES
    (AAU, Anand, 1988) Barvalia, Devshibhai R.; Parsania, R. R.
    The experiment was undertaken in buffalo calves to study the clinicopathology of E. coli LPS induced arthritis and to evaluate therapeutic utility of intra-articular dexamethesone. The study was carried out on 12 buffalo calves divided into two equal groups (Group I & II). Arthritis of left knee joint was successfully induced in all the animals by intra-articular administration of E.coli LPS at the dose rate of 0.4µg/kg body weight. Group I sarved as control and no treatment was given. In group II, 4 mg of dexamethasone was administered intra-articularly, 5 minutes after E.coli LPS injection. All the animals were observed for 96 hours.

    SCREENING OF BOVINE URINE FOR INHIBITORS OF CRYSTALLIZATION A SURVEY WORK
    (AAU, Anand, 1983) BAROT, JAYENDRASINH D.; Mannari, M. N.
    The present study was conducted in the animals belonging to 8 villages of 3 different districts with known incidence of urolithiasis. From these villages 552 urine samples were subjected to the test for presence or absence of inhibitors of crystallization of calcium oxalate. Out of these, crystallization on glass fibre was noticed in 73 animals from 1 to 3 hours which indicated that these animals were prone to stone formation. Out of these, 69 were bullocks and 9 buffaloes, Amongst 13 bullocks which had a definite known history of urolithiasis, 12 proved to be positive for stone formation. Fifty-four urine samples of those animals which were found positive during screening, were further analysed quantitatively for calcium, magnesium and sodium levels. A similar number of urine samples from non-stone-formers were also subjected to above analysis to know the significant difference. A significant increase in calcium levels was evident in the urine of stone-formers. The other two electrolytes did not show any significant variations. The analysis of fodder fed to these animals did not show any significant relation between the feeding practices and stone formation. However, a definite association existed between the type of soil and stone formation, with particular reference to the calcium levels in the soil. The analysis of water from all the sources available to these animals did not show any variation in their different constituents indicating that the water did not play any major role in causing stone formation.

    COMPARATIVE STUDIES ON RETROGRADE INTRAVENOUS. INTRAOSSEOUS AND ANTERIOR EPIDURAL ANAESTHESIA OF HIND-LIMBS IN CATTLE
    (AAU, Anand, 1983) MUDRIS, KAMALAKAR K.; Tadkod, D. M.
    A comparative study on 3 different anaesthetic techniques namely retrograde intravenous, regrograde intraosseous and anterior epidural anaesthesia was conducted in 18 adult cattle. These animals were divided into 3 groups of 6 animals each and in each group 12 trials of different regional anaesthetic techniques mentioned above were carried out. In addition to this tourniquet ishaemia was created in 4 animals which served as control for the first two groups.

    STUDIES ON PROPOFOL AS AN ANAESTHETIC AGENT IN DOMESTIC GOATS (Capra hircus)
    (AAU, Anand, 1989) Kelawala, Nareshkumar H.; Parsania, R. R.
    A study on general anaesthesia using ketamine, propofol and propofol-ketanine as anaesthetic and pre-anaesthetic medication with diazepam was conducted in 12 healthy adult female goats, divided into three groups of four animal each. Induction of anaesthesia in all the groups was smooth without any major complications, however, it was significantly faster in the groups where propofol was used as an anaesthetic agent. Duration of anaesthesia was significantly longer in the group where propofol was followed by ketamine anaesthesia. Mean sitting time, standing time and complete recovery time were significantly longer with ketamine and propofol-ketamine groups than with propofol group. Recovery was smooth and quick without any major complications. There was significant increase in heart rate, respiratory rate and decrease in body temperature in the animals where ketamine was used as a single anaesthetic agent, whereas, they were insignificant in the animals where propofol was used as an anaesthetic agent. However, heart rate and respiratory rate were significantly increased and insignificant change in body temperature were recorded in the animals using propofol-ketamine combination. Haematological study during and after anaesthesia revealed non-significant reduction in TEC, TLC and Hb concentration and significant decrease in PCV in all the groups. Biochemical studies during and after anaesthesia revealed - significant increase in blood glucose in all the groups, whereas, non-significant increase in BUN, enzymes - SGOT, SGPT, AKP, and ACP and electrolytes - Na+, K+ and Cl- in all the groups. Serum creatinine was significantly increased in the animals where propofol was used as an Induction as well as maintenance agent, whereas, Increase was non-significant in other animals. The present study indicated that the use of propofol is a safe alternate anaesthetic procedure to the conventional ketamine or barbiturate anaesthesia.

    USE OF PROPANIDID (EPONTOL) AS A GENERAL ANAESTHETIC IN DOGS ( CANIS DOMESTICA ) : A HAEMATOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL STUDY
    (AAU, Anand, 1980) JANI, BHARAT M.; Mannari, M. N.
    The use of propanidid (Epontol) as a general anaesthetic was evaluated in 12 mongrel dogs with three different preanaesthetic combinations viz., Atropine + Diazepam; Atropine + Chlorprcwaazine and Atjroplne + Triflupromazine. Induction of anaesthesia and recovery were smooth. There were no major complications. There was significant increase in heart rate, respiratory rate and ncmsignificant decrease in rectal teaperalxire during anaesthesia. Duration of anaesthesia was significantly higher in the group where diazepam was used as tranquilizer than the groups where chlorpromazine and triflupromazine were used. Haematological and biochemical study during and 48 hours after AtropineDiazepam + Propanidid anaesthesia revealed a nonsignificant reduction in TEC, TLC, PCV and Hb concentration and significant neutrophilia and lymphocytopenia during anaesthesia. However all these values approached preanaesthetic level 48 hours after anaesthesia. Blood glucose increased significantly during anaesthesia which came doim to preanaesthetlc level 48 hours after anaesthesia. BUN level decreased significantly 48 hours after anaesthesia. S-AKP, S-LDH, S-GOT, 3-GPT level increased during and 48 hours after anaesthesia, but they never exceeded the normal range. The study has indicated that use of propanidid is a safe alternate anaesthetic procedure to the conventional barbiturate anaesthesia in canines.

    EFFECT OF ELECTRICAL STIMULATION ON FRACTURE HEALING IN BUFFALO CALVES-An Experimental Study.
    (AAU, Anand, 1982) THAKUR, SUNIL B.; Mannari, M. N.
    Effect of electrical stimulation was studied in 18 buffalo calves at 2 phases of healing i.e. at nineth and eighteenth day. The electrical stimulation was achieved by passing 20 microamperes of direct current at the fracture site . The fracture healing was evaluated by radiographic, arterio graphic, macroscopic and histomorphological studies. Radiography failed to demonstrate any difference between the treated and control limbs. On arteriography significant increase in arterial supply was observed in treated limbs as compared to control, which probably may be responsible for acceleration of fracture healing, Historaorphological examination clearly revealed an acceleration in the healing process in treated limbs, when compared to the controls.
