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.

    GONADAL DEVELOPMENT AND ACTIVITY IN (SURATI.) MALE BUFFALO CALVES FROM BIRTH TO SEXUAL MATURITY
    (AAU, Anand, 1983) Deshpande, Lalita V.; Janakiraman, K.
    Gondal development and activity in Surati buffalo calves was studied from birth to maturity (in 17 stages), to correlate the gonadal histology with testicular and serum biochemical characteristics. The characteristics studied, histologically in H. and E. stained sections; included seminiference tubule diameter, tubular count, interstitial space per cent and various cellular elementsin seminiferous tubule and the Laydig cells; the biochemical estimates were Alkaline Phosphatase (AKP), protein, cholesterol (free and total) calcium and phosphorus, both in testis and serum; the nucleic acids were estimated in gonadal tissues only. Similar studies were also made in calves, hemi orchidectomised at birth from Day 1-300.

    STUDIES ON BIOMETRY, BIOCHEMICAL, ENDOCRINE AND HISTOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF CORPUS LUTEUM OF SURTI BUFFALOES DURING ESTROUS CYCLE
    (AAU, Anand, 1990) Shah, Rohit G.; Mehta, V. M.
    The corpus lutem being an important endocrine gland related with the maintenance of estrous cycle and pregnancy, it’s detail studies in Surti buffaloes are essential. These studies will pave the way for detail understanding about the physiological role of this important structure in the reproductive efficiency of dairy buffaloes.Towards detail studies on physiology of CL in Surti buffaloes, the requisite number (n=49) of corpora lutea in different phases of luteal development were collected from buffaloes slaughtered on definate days after estrus.

    SEASONAL INFLUENCE ON ENDOCRINE AND BIOCHEMICAL CHANGES IN DEVELOPING OVARIAN FOLLICLES OF SURTI BUFFALOES
    (AAU, Anand, 1990) Parmar, Ajaykumar P.; Mehta, V. M.
    Totally 210 normal Surti buffalo ovaries in follicular phase and blood serum samples of same animals were collected from local slaughter house during winter, summer and monsoon to study the nature of follicular development during different seasons. The diameter of individual follicles and total number of follicles on the ovaries were recoiled. These follicles were grouped according to their diameter in different developmental phase viz., 1 to 4, 5 to 8, 9 to 12 and above 12 mm. For biochemical and endocrine studies, the follicular fluid was aspirated from these follicles and pooled according to the phase of developing follicles. During all the three seasons it was observed that right ovary was having more number of developing follicles as compare to the left ovary, indicating that right ovary is more functional than left ovary in Surti buffaloes. More or less similar number of developing follicles were observed on ovaries collected daring winter, summer and monsoon. The seasons had no significant effect on number of developing follicles.

    STUDY ON BLOOD SERUM PROFILE (HORMONAL AND BIOCHEMICAL) OF NORMAL CYCLING AND ANESTRUS SURTI BUFFALO HEIFERS
    (AAU, Anand, 1989) Sarvaiya, Nitesh P.; Pathak, M. M.
    Totally 20 cycles (normal estrous cycle of 22 days) of six Surti buffalo heifers of the farm of Reproductive Biological Research Unit, Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand Campus, Anand and 6 anestrous heifers of same farm (which showed one cycle and became anestrus) and anestrus heifers of 6 different villages were studied for their blood serum honnonal and biochemical profile. The main objectives were : To know the basic norms for these characters for normally cycling and anestrus heifers (farm and villages) and to know the probable physiological reasons for anestrus condition (all the anestrus animals studied were clinically normal). Hormonal parameters were estimated by standard Radio-Immuno Assay procedures and biochemical parameters were estimated by standard analytical methods. Overall 360 samples were estimated for each characters.
