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.

    CLINICO-DIAGNOSIS AND SURGICO- THERAPEUTIC MANAGEMENT OF LOWER URINARY TRACT AFFECTIONS IN DOGS
    (Department of Veterinary Surgery and Radiology College of Veterinary Science & Animal Husbandry Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2019) Jignesh J. Parmar; P. V. Parikh
    The present study entitled “Clinico-diagnosis and Surgico-therapeutic Management of Lower Urinary Tract Affections in Dogs” was conducted on dogs with dysuria, retained urine, haematuria and other clinical signs relating to affections of lower urinary tract at Veterinary Clinical Complex (VCC) and referred to the Department of Veterinary Surgery and Radiology, College of Veterinary Science & Animal Husbandry, Anand Agricultural University, Anand (Gujarat) during the year September 2017 to July-2019.

    STUDIES ON PHACOEMULSIFICATION IN CATARACTOUS DOGS
    (DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY SURGERY AND RADIOLOGY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE & ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) KELAWALA DIVYESH NARESHBHAI; Dr. P. V. Parikh
    Cataracts are the most common cause of treatable visual deficits and blindness in dogs. Phacoemulsification has become an art of surgical procedure for management of cataract surgery. The present clinical study on phacoemulsification was conducted on 20 dogs to remove the cataractous lens. Out of the 20 eyes, +41.00 D multifocal diffractive - refractive foldable, biconvex, UV blocking, hydrophilic acrylic plate haptics intraocular lens with 14.00 mm length and 7.00 mm optical diameter was implanted in 10 eyes and the rest of 10 eyes were left aphakic. A high incidence of cataract in dogs was seen in females (65%), geriatric (8-15 years, 65%) cases with mature cataract (75%) and senility (60%) as the major cause. Prior to the surgery, all dogs were subjected to detailed ophthalmic examination and routine haematology and serum biochemical analysis. Six dogs with IOL implant were subjected to electroretinography as useful adjunct test for pre- and post-operative evaluations of retinal functions in conjunction with cataract surgery. The Mean+SE of b/a ratio for six dogs with cataract was 3.70+0.63. Mean peak to peak amplitudes seemed to be smaller for each dogs with b/a ratio higher than the normal range (2.33+0.73). The visual outcome achieved was evaluated based on visual function tests, ERG and fundic examination.

    STUDIES ON INCIDENCE, DIAGNOSIS AND SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF MILK FLOW DISORDERS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THELORESECTOSCOPY IN DAIRY ANIMALS.
    (AAU, Anand, 2012) JHALA, S. K.; PARIKH, P. V.
    The present study was done to record the incidence of milk flow disorders (MFD) in dairy animals in and around Anand and to evaluate the efficacy of conventional surgery/theloresectoscopy for the management of teat disorders. Out of 1972 animals reviewed for MFD, hard milkers were recorded in 44 cows and 62 buffaloes, whereas teat spider in 36 cows and 15 buffaloes. Out of these, 29 cattle and 21 buffaloes with MFD were subjected to detailed investigations using radiography, ultrasonography and theloscopy. Prevalence of MFD was highest in the age group of 6 - 7 years, during the 3rd or 4th lactation. Clinical examination revealed rear quarters to be more affected than fore in both cattle and buffaloes. In cattle proximal and middle portions of the teat were more involved than distal, whereas in buffaloes the distal part was more affected. The site of obstruction i.e., middle to proximal part of the teat (16 teats) and at Furstenberg's rosette (04 teats) were diagnosed using contrast (iopromide) radiography. B mode ultrasonography was performed in 30 teats, wherein anatomical and pathological details of the affected teats were best obtained using 7.5 MHz linear array transducer. Visualization of teat cistern was superior with contact gel technique and that of distal portion of teat with water bath technique. Theloscopy offered direct visualization of internal teat cavity and accurate determination of lesions in 30 teats. During theloscopy better visualization was obtained after rinsing with sterile saline and removal of residual alveolar milk following intravenous oxytocin administration. Conventional surgical technique using BP blade No. 15 was optimal in treating hard milkers (28 cases). Twenty two cases of membranous teat obstructions (teat spiders) were successfully resected using theloresectoscopy restoring the patency for milk flow. Theloresectoscopy facilitated fulguration of membranous obstructions (teat spider) in 22 cases using a loop cautery connected to monopolar electrosurgical unit. On cultural examination of milk samples, isolates of Staphylococcus spp., Streptococci spp., Arcanobacterium spp. and Escherichia spp were obtained which on antibiogram were sensitive to Gentamicin, Ceftriaxone, Enrofloxacin, Oflaxacin, Ciprofloxacin, Amoxycillin, Penicillin, Streptomycin and Cefixime. The milk samples collected at immediate postoperative period showed high somatic cell count which decreased to near normal by 21st post operative day in majority of the cases. Theloscopy facilitated non-invasive direct visualization of the internal teat structures, while theloresectoscopy fulguration of teat spider.
