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.

    SUPEROVULATION, NON-SURGICAL RECOVERY AND EMBRYO TRANSFER IN THE WATER BUFFALO (Bubalus bubalis)
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) MOTWANI, KISHORE T.; Kodagali, S. B.
    Embryo transfer in dairy cattle is a tool to produce large number of high quality seed stock and to multiply the most desirable genotype. The present study was an attempt to adopt the standard superovulatory region, non-surgical recovery and embryo transfer technique of cattle to the water buffaloes. The experimental animals comprised of high yielding six Surti breed and six Mehsani breed buffaloes to serve as potential donors and five Surti breed buffaloes as recipients. The study was undertaken during the period from February to May, 1985 (summer).

    A COMPARATIVE CLINICAL STUDY ON THE EFFICACY OF VISCERAL PROCAINE BLOCKADE, LUMBAR EPIDURAL ANAESTHESIA AND LOCAL INFILTRATION ANAESTHESIA WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE HAEMATOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL CHANGES IN BUFFALO CALVES
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) MALEK, MOHAMMED YUSUF A.; PATEL, M. R.
    A comparative clinical study on the efficacy of visceral procaine blockade, lumbar epidural anaesthesia and local infiltration anaesthesia, with particular reference to the haematological and biochemical changes, was carried out in buffalo calves divided into three groups of six animals each. All of three anaesthetic procedures were adequate to perform operations like enterotomy, intestinal anastomosis and abomasotomy. Haematological changes were found to be statistically non-significant in all the three groups. Among biochemical changes, blood glucose level increased significantly in visceral procaine blockade and lumbar epidural groups. S-GOT increased significantly only in the visceral procaine blockade group.

    SCREENING OF URINE SAMPLES OF BULLOCKS FOR INHIBITORS OF CRYSTALLIZATION AND STUDY OF EFFICACY OF CYSTONE TABLETS IN THE PREVENTION OF URINARY CALCULI
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) JOSHI, PRAVINCHANDRA K.; Patel, M. R.
    The present field trial was conducted in the animals belonging to village - Lasundra, Taluka - Kapadvanj, District - Kheda, where incidence of urolithiasis is prevelant. Urine samples collected from 100 bullocks were subjected to tests for presence or absence of inhibitors of crystallization of calcium oxalate. Out of these, crystallization on glass fibre was noticed in 11 bullocks within 3 hours which indicated that these animals were prone to stone formation. These potential stone-formers were given 20 tablets of Cystone daily orally for 15 days. Urine samples of these animals which were found positive during screening were further analysed for calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium levels and also for pH. A significant increase in calcium levels was evident in the urine samples of stone formers. The other three electrolytes Viz., Magnesium, Sodium and Potassium, did not show any significant variation.

    STUDIES ON BIOCHEMICAL CHANGES IN RUMINAL FLUID AND BLOOD IN POST-PARTURIENT ANOREXIA CONDITION IN BUFFALOES
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) DESAI, HARENDRA A.; DAVE, M. R.
    The study on biochemical changes in ruminal fluid and blood constituents in post-parturient anorexia in buffaloes was taken up at Veterinary College Hospital and Ambulatory Clinics, Anand from July, 1985 to January, 1986. A total of 304 clinical cases of buffaloes were screened and 47 cases with the history of upto 50 days post-parturient period and anorexis of 2 to 3 days duration were taken up for the detailed study. On the basis of history and clinical findings, these cases were classified into simple indigestion (4), diarrhoea (10), tympany (Bloat) (8), diaphragmatic hernia (4), ruminal acidosis (3), ruminal alkalosis (2), parturient paresis (5), ketosis (3), prolapse of vagina (3), and retention of placenta (5). A group of normal cycling buffaloes (10) in post-partum stage was kept as control group.

    CLINICO-PATHOLOGICAL STUDIES ON RUMINAL ACIDOSIS AND ITS THERAPY IN BUFFALOES
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) PATEL, KULIN K.; Dave, M. R.
    Ruminal acidosis is an economically important digestive disorder caused by an excessive intake of fermentable carbohydrate, and characterised by anorexia, rumen stasis, diarrhoea, depression, decreased milk yield in lactating animals and even death if timely treatment is not available. The present study was taken up to investigate the clinico-pathological aspects of ruminal acidosis in experimental and clinical cases of buffaloes with a view to understanding its pathogenesis, possibilities of early diagnosis and formulation of suitable treatment.

    STUDIES ON SEMINAL CHARACTERISTICS, BIOCHEMICAL AND ENZYMATIC CONSTITUENTS, FREEZABILITY, ENZYME LEAKAGE AND FERTILITY IN SURTI BUFFALO BULLS
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) DHAMI, A. J.; KODAGALI, S. B.
    The present investigation was undertaken on four Surti Buffalo bulls during a period of one year (wet, hot & cold seasons), at the Department of Veterinary Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Gujarat Veterinary College, Anand. The studies included evaluation of seminal characters, assay of biochemical & systematic constituents, freezability, efficacy of different extenders, leakage of enzymes, fertility and their correlations. The seasonal influence was also studied. Bulls were ranked, based on overall performance, semen characters, initial fructose, LDH activity, freezability and fertility. Two bulls could be grouped under excellent sexual function and two in normal sexual function. Libido and serving behaviour in these bulls were within normal limit.
