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.

    BIOLOGY AND CONTROL MEASURES OF BROWN SCALE, SAISSETIA COFFEAE WALKER ( HOMOPTERA : COCCIDAE) ON POINTED GOURD (TRICHOSANTHES DIOICA ROXB.)
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) VALAND, VITTHALBHAI M.; Patel, R. C.
    The biology and control measures of brown scale, Saissatia coffeae Wlk. (Homoptera : Coccidae) on pointed gourd (Trichosanthes dioica Roxb.) were studied. This scale is recorded for the first time as pest on pointed gourd on vines, leaves and at times on fruits in Gujarat State. It reproduces partnenogenetically and completes development through three instars. The eggs measured 0.212 ± 0.0096 mm. In length and 0.119 ± 0.006 mm. In breadth. The first, second and third instar measured on an average 0.31 ± 0.02, 1.521 ± 0.091 and 3.021 ± 0.144 mm. In length and 0.18 ± 0.1, 1.126 ± 0.101 and 2.427 ± 0.225 mm. in length and 2.093 ± 0.187 mm. In breadth. Maximum incubation period of eggs at 60% relative humidity and 24°C was 12.91 days.

    PHYSICO-CHEMICAL AND STORAGE CHARACTERISTICS OF BISCUITS DEVELOPED FROM THE BLENDS OF CASEIN-WHEY PROTEIN COPRECIPITATES AND PARTIALLY DEOILED GROUNDNUT MEAL
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) PATEL, SOMABHAI MAGANLAL; SHARMA, R. S.
    This study was planned to develop a simplified process for preparation of partially deoiled groundnut meal (PDGM) with minimum possible mitty/bitter flavour inherent to groundnut and to make use of such meal in formulation of biscuits with blends of casein-whey protein coprecipitates (CWC) with a view to enhance protein-calorie value with out extraneous incorporation of hydregenated fat. This study also aimed to evaluate the impact of the above blends on the compositional, physico-chemical, organoleptic and storage characteristics of such biscuits and to suggest a simple process line for the manufacture of acceptable type of protein-calorie enriched biscuits with reasonable shelf-life.

    EFFECT OF SHELTERING AND SPLASHING WATER ON GROWTH AND PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSES OF JERSEY X KANKREJ (G2) AND HOLSTEIN FRIESIAN x KANKREJ (G2) HEIFERS DURING INTENSE SUMMER
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) PATEL, K. S.; Dave, A. D.
    An investigation was carried out to assess the effect of sheltering and splashing water on growth, feed and water intake, feed utilization efficiency, physiological responses, and some of the blood and serum constituents of the Jersey x Kankrej (G2) and the Holstein Friesian x Kankrej (G2) heifers during the summer of 1985. Avearge daily body weight gain of the Jersey crosses (505.30 g) was lesser (P<0.01) than that of the Holstein (594.97 g) crosses. Shaltering, period and interaction between breed and sheltering significantly affected their growth rate. The minimum temperature and the morning ambient temperature had positive and significant association with the growth rate of the Jersey crosses only. The afternoon relative humidity as well as vapour pressure had positive and significant association with the growth rate of both the crosses. The morning temperature humidity index had positive and significant correlation with the growth rate in the Jersey crosses only.

    GENETIC ASPECTS OF PERFORMANCE EFFICIENCY INDEX AT VARIOUS STAGES OF PRODUCTION AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH SOME ECONOMIC TRAITS IN WLH STRAIN
    (AAU, Anand, 1986) PANDA, GOUR MOHAN; SHUKLA, R. K.
    The data pertaining to 372 pullets in base generation (S0) and 434 in S1 -generation of ‘M’ line of WLH were used to study the inheritance of performance efficiency index (PEI) and its various economic traits. The PEI at various productive periods viz. 28th week, 32nd week, 36th week and 40th week were calculated. The averages of PEI at these periods were found to be 23.31 ± 0.33, 27.45 ± 0.30, 25.45 ± 0.33 and 26.45 ± 0.34 in S0 -generation and 26.47 ± 0.32, 28.48 ± 0.26, 30.53 ± 0.22 and 31.06 ± 0.29 in S1 -generation, respectively. Both the generations differed significantly for PEI28, PEI36 and PEI40.
