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.

Fifteen min later general anaesthesia was induced by ketamine (IV till effect) in group A and by propofol (IV till effect) in group B. All the animals were maintained on sevoflurane anaesthesia after endotracheal intubation.ThesisItem Open Access CLINICAL STUDIES ON DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS OF BUTORPHANOL, ACEPROMAZINE AND DEXMEDETOMIDINE PREMEDICATION ALONG WITH MIDAZOLAM KETAMINE AND PROPOFOL INDUCTION AND ISOFLURANE MAINTENANCE IN DOGS(DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY SURGERY AND RADIOLOGY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2018) PARMAR ANGEL SIRILBHAI; Dr. P.V. PARIKHA clinical study, on 24 dogs presented at Department of Veterinary Surgery & Radiology for various surgical affections were randomly allotted to four groups of six dogs (n=6) each to evaluate sedative and anaesthetic effects of various combinations. All the 24 dogs were premedicated with atropine sulphate @0.02mg/kg b.wt s/c and butorphanol @0.2mg/kg b.wt i/v. After 15 minutes, in group I and II dexmedetomidine was administered @ 0.003mg/kg i/v While, in group III and group IV acepromazine was administered 0.02mg/kg i/v. Induction of anaesthesia was achieved by combination of Ketamine- Midazolam combination (2:1) in group I and III till the effect) and Propofol (i/v till the effect in group II and IV). Maintenance of anaesthesia was done by isoflurane after endotracheal intubation in all the animals.ThesisItem Open Access STUDIES ON SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF PROLAPSE OF THIRD EYELID GLAND IN CANINES(DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY SURGERY AND RADIOLOGY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2018) KAVITA R. KURUP; Dr. P. V. ParikhThe present study was carried out in sixteen clinical cases of dogs with prolapsed third eyelid gland that were randomly divided into two groups of eight dogs each and in one group repositioning was performed with Morgan’s pocket technique (n=8) whereas in the other group modified Morgan’s pocket technique (n=8) was performed wherein simple continuous suture pattern was oversewed with continuous Cushing suture pattern and compared. Operation was performed under general anaesthesia using propofol (4mg/kg, IV) as induction agent; atropine (0.03mg/kg, SC) as well as butorphanol (0.2mg/kg, I/V) as preanaesthetic agent and maintenance was done with isoflurane.ThesisItem Open Access STUDIES ON OCULAR NEOPLASIA IN DOMESTIC ANIMALS”(DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY SURGERY AND RADIOLOGY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE & ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) GONDALIYA RAVI B.; Dr. P.

R.A clinical study, on 36 dogs of either sex allotted to six groups of six animals in each, was undertaken to evaluate sedative effect of BAG - Butorphanol, Acepromazine and Glycopyrrolate @ 0.2, 0.04 and 0.01 mg/kg b.wt., respectively, as a combination administered intramuscularly. Induction was carried out using Diazepam @ 0.28 mg/kg b.wt. and Ketamine @ 5 mg/kg b. wt. mixture in KDK (I) and KDI (II) groups, Midazolam @ 0.28 mg/kg b.wt. and Ketamine @ 5 mg/kg b.wt. mixture in KMK (III) and KMl (IV) groups and Propofol @ 5 mg/kg b.wt. in PP (V) and PI (VI) groups intravenously (IV) about 15 min. after premedication with BAG. The maintenance of anaesthesia was carried out with ketamine (0.25 mg/kg/min.) in ketamine-diazepam and ketamine-midazolam induction for KDK and KMK groups. Animals of similar induction groups were also maintained with isoflurane in KDI and KMI groups. In propofol induction, propofol (0.4 mg/kg/min.) and isoflurane were used as maintenance agent in PP and PI groups. Anaesthesia was induced in overnight fasted and preanaesthetically evaluated dogs 15 min. after premedication over a period of 90 sec. in ketamine combination groups and over 90-120 sec. time in propofol groups. Onset of sedative effect of preanaesthesia, induction quality and time of intubation were recorded in all animals. Optimum doses for desired effect were also recorded for preanaesthesia, induction and maintenance in all animals. Different clinical parameters related to anaesthesia, recovery times, vital signs and complication, if any, were recorded at 15 min. after preanaesthesia (AP), 0 min. (at induction), 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90 min. inclusive of commencement of induction in all groups. Different haematological and biochemical parameters were studied at 0 min. (normal), 15 and 30 min. post induction in all cases. Cost of preanaesthesia, induction and maintenance were calculated for all cases. Postoperative pain managmant was achieved using meloxicam (0.2 mg/kg b.wt.) for 5 days after operation. All the animals showed profound signs of sedation without any complications. Combination mixture (BAG) also masked the adverse effects of opioid in preanaesthesia. Lower dose of acepromazine seem to be safe for older dogs also. Induction of anaesthesia was smooth and satisfactory without any complications, however it was comparatively faster in propofol and ketaminemidazolam groups than ketamine-diazepam. Time for induction and endotracheal intubation was also less in propofol and ketamine-midazolam induction than ketamine-diazepam. In all six groups, mean pulse rate per minute showed a nonsignificant decrease at 15 minutes after preanaesthesia. At the time of induction and after induction, mean pulse rate showed significant increase in KDK, KDI and KMK groups and nonsignificant increase in KMI, PP and PI groups. Mean Sp02 values showed nonsignificant decrease after preanaesthesia and followed by increase in all groups. However, increase was observed in animals of isoflurane maintenance groups. Respiratory rate showed nonsignificant changes through out the period of anaesthesia. Same way the rectal temperature decreased gradually but nonsignificantly in all groups. Mean blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, mean) showed nonsignificant decrease after preanaesthesia in all groups there after increased nonsignificantly in ketamine maintenance groups but remained in normal range in all groups. There was nonsignificant increase in AST and ALT values in all groups but minor increase in PP, PI, KDI and KMI groups. BUN and creatinine values decreased nonsignificantly in all groups but minor decrese in PP, PI, KDI and KMI groups. Blood glucose concentration showed nonsignificant increase in all groups whereas the total protein concentration were decreased nonsignificantly in all groups. TEC decreased nonsignificantly in PP and PI groups whereas there was nonsignificant increase in all other groups. TLC, haemoglobin and PCV decreased in all groups however was nonsignificant. In DLC, neutrophils increased and lymphocytes decreased nonsignificantly in all groups. The changes in monocytes, eosinophils and basophils were not significant. Recovery characteristics like recovery start time, time for response to pin prick, head raising time, sternal recumbency time, stand unassisant time and resume to feeding or watering time were significantly decreased in PP and PI groups. The cost of propofol and ketamine-midazolam inductions were significantly higher as compared to ketamine-diazepam. Maintenance cost of anaesthesia with isoflurane and propofol were cheaper as compared to ketamine. Meloxicam provided optimum postoperative pain relief All the protocols were competitively effective having no adverse effects on animals. Propofol in combination with isoflurane for maintenance in BAG premedicated group was cheaper and the safest protocol.ThesisItem Open Access B-Mode Ocular Ultrasonography in Dogs and Horses(AAU, Anand, 2012) Kumar, Dharmendra; PARIKH, P. V.The present clinical study entitled "B-Mode Ocular Ultrasonography in Dogs and Horses" was undertaken in 135 dogs (4 months -15 years) and 50 horses (1-15 years) of either sex from 01st April, 2011 to 31st March, 2012 at university clinic, Anand. Ultrasonographic evaluation of the normal and affected eyes was done using linear transducer (7.5-18 MHz) by transcomeal (129 dogs) and transpalpebral (six dogs) approaches. In 50 horses ocular ultrasonography (US) was performed by transpalpebral approach. In all animals corneal anesthesia was achieved with proparacaine HCl 0.5% instilled directly on cornea. Age wise distribution of canine cases revealed maximum incidence of ophthalmic affections in the age group of 5-10 years (39.26%, 53) followed by 10-15 years (28.89%, 39), 1-5 years (22.22%, 30) and 0-1 years (9.63%, 13). Breed wise ophthalmic affections were maximum in Pomeranian (59.26%, 80) followed by Labrador retriever (13.33%, 18), German shepherd (11.11%, 15), Beagle (5.18%, 7), Dalmatian, Golden retriever (2.96%, 4 in each), Doberman (2.22%, 3), Lhasa apso (1.48%, 2), Boxer and Pug (0.74%, 1 each). Sex wise distribution showed more affections in male (57.03%, 77) than females (42.97%, 58). Age wise distribution of equine cases revealed maximum ophthalmic affections in 5-10 years (36%, 18) followed by 10-15 years (30%, 15), 1-5 years (24%, 12) and 0-1 years (10%), 05). Breed wise incidence of ophthalmic affections was maximum in Kathiawadi and Marwari horses (40%, 20 each) followed by Sindhi (20%, 10). Sex wise distribution showed more affections in females (54%, 27) than males (46%, 23). In dogs and horses different ophthalmic parameters like anterior chamber depth, anterio-posterior depth of the lens, latero-medial diameter of the lens, vitreous depth and axial length were studied according to age, sex, breed, left and right eyes and normal and abnormal eyes. Different parameters of eye increased in dogs of age group greater than five years than 0-1 year. Parameters of eye like anterior chamber depth, vitreous depth and axial length were significantly longer in male dogs than female. Whereas anterioposterior depth and latero-medial diameter of the lens differed non significantly. According to breed, anterior chamber depth and latero-medial diameter of lens differed nonsignificantly, but anterio-posterior depth of the lens in Dalmatian and German shepherd differed significantly. Axial length in Dalmatian differed significantly than German shepherd and Labrador retriever. An insignificant difference was observed for different parameters between left and right eyes. In normal and abnormal eyes, anterior chamber depth differed nonsignificantly, but all other parameters like anterio-posterior depth of the lens, latero-medial diameter of the lens, vitreous depth and axial length differed significantly. Among types of canine cataracts, different ophthalmic parameters differed non significantly in 5-10 years age group, but all the eye parameters in morgagnian cataract differed significantly fi-om immature, mature and hypermature cataracts in 10-15 years of age group. Out of 50 horses, five were of 0-1 year age group, 12 of 1-5 years, 18 of 5-10 years and 15 of 10-15 years. Anterior chamber depth, anterio-posterior depth of the lens, latero-medial diameter of the lens, vitreous depth and axial length increased with age. Different parameters of eyes in male and female, breed, left and right eye and normal and affected eyes varied non significantly. In dogs ophthalmic affections like cataract, luxation of lens, vitreous degeneration and (RD) were diagnosed. Secondary luxation of lens was seen in five cases of which two had anterior luxation and rest posterior luxation. Detached vitreous revealed multicurved lines with different varying reflectors in 18 dogs; of which, four dogs had bilateral vitreous degeneration and in the rest (14) unilateral. Vitreal syneresis was observed in one dog. Vitreous degeneration was more in males than females. Fourteen cases of RD were diagnosed on US, of which five cases were in Pomeranian, with bilateral involvement in one case; four cases in Labrador retriever with bilateral involvement in two cases, one case each in Pug, Beagle, Golden retriever and German shepherd. In four cases close- close type of RD was found and in nine cases open-close type. In horse, five cases of RD were diagnosed, of which four were Kathiawadi and one Marwari. All cases revealed open-close type of RD. Eight horses diagnosed with Setaria eye worm in anterior chamber (6 cases) and vitreous body (2 cases). Thus ultrasonography is a safe and non-invasive method which can be used m diagnosis of ocular disorders as complementary to routine ophthalmic examinations in dogs and horses. Further this study established ocular echobiometry dimensions for certain breeds of dogs and horses bred in India.ThesisItem Open Access SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF HOOF DISORDERS IN GOATS(AAU, Anand, 2015) MEHTA, TEJASKUMAR ARUN; PATIL, D. B.The present study in goats was conducted in clinical cases reported at Department of Veterinary Surgery and Radiology, Anand, Institutional farms, villages surveyed around Anand, goat camps and Panjrapoles in and around Anand. to record the incidence of hoof disorders and to standardize treatment protocol for management of various hoof disorders. The functional hoof trimming was carried out in all the affected animals. Random samples of hoof shavings and blood for laboratory estimation were collected. The information derived from surveillance using an evolved proforma was analyzed and presented. A total of 6000 goats were screened during the survey, of which 1160 had different foot lesions. The foot lesions encountered with incidence were overgrown hoof 420 (36.20%), white line separation 295 (25.43%), sole ulcer 190 (16.37), sole hemorrhage 85 (7.32%), foreign body in sole 31 (2.67%), interdigital hyperplasia 29 (2.5%), laminitis 22 (1.89%), maggot wound 19 (1.63%), hoof avulsion 17 (1.46%), vertical fissure 25 (2.15%), dependent joint and tendon affections 16 (1.37%) and pedal bone dislocation 01 (0.09%). Age wise incidence of hoof lesions was lowest (9.48%) in young animals between 0 to 2 year and higher (45.51%) in the adult animals above 6 years of age. The Housing was observed to be the main factor associated with the occurrence of hoof disorders in goats. The survey about predisposing factors of the hoof disorders during anamnesis revealed that out of 1160 affected animals, 820/1160 (70.68%) were maintained on kachha floor with poor hygienic condition and the remaining (340/1160, 29.31 %) on pakka floor with hygienic conditions indicating higher incidence on kachha floor compared to goats maintained on pakka floor. The incidence of hoof disorders was more during the wet season (63.01%) compared to dry season (36.98 %). The maximum hoof lesions were observed in hind limbs (729; 62.84%) with greater involvement of outer claw (432; 59.25%), however in fore-limbs (431; 37.15%) the involvement of inner claw (290; 67.28%) was more. A survey about feeding practices revealed it to be highly variable and diverse. The farmers had no standard feeding practices and many allowed ad lib grazing and also access to household waste food along with the green and concentrate. It was difficult to correlate the effect of feeding practices and hoof affection under present scenario of goat rearing in animals surveyed. Manual hoof trimming was done in 230 goats with 100 in standing position and 130 in lateral recumbency while 22 goats required sedation for hoof trimming. The estimations of blood biochemical parameters (Total Protein, Albumin, Globulin, Ca, P, Mg, Na, K) and minerals (Zn, Cu, Mn, Ca, P) in hoof shavings did not reveal any significant difference between different animals. The functional hoof trimming in 230 animals facilitated detection of subclinical laminitic lesions and reduced the progression of disease. The use of proper hoof trimming instruments facilitated comfortable functional hoof trimming with less manpower and time.
