Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar

Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University popularly known as HAU, is one of Asia's biggest agricultural universities, located at Hisar in the Indian state of Haryana. It is named after India's seventh Prime Minister, Chaudhary Charan Singh. It is a leader in agricultural research in India and contributed significantly to Green Revolution and White Revolution in India in the 1960s and 70s. It has a very large campus and has several research centres throughout the state. It won the Indian Council of Agricultural Research's Award for the Best Institute in 1997. HAU was initially a campus of Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. After the formation of Haryana in 1966, it became an autonomous institution on February 2, 1970 through a Presidential Ordinance, later ratified as Haryana and Punjab Agricultural Universities Act, 1970, passed by the Lok Sabha on March 29, 1970. A. L. Fletcher, the first Vice-Chancellor of the university, was instrumental in its initial growth.

    Effect of polythene lining on hydrobiological and growth parameters of Litopenaeus vannamei boone
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2023-05) Surender Kumar; Gupta, R.K
    The study was conducted to assess the entitled Effect of polythene lining on hydrobiological and growth parameters of Litopenaeus vannamei Boone under two objectives wise as follows:This objective had three replicates and the duration of present study was four months, from 14 June 2022 to 22October 2022.The experiment was conducted for 120 days during the year 2022 in the proposed study will be carried out in College of Fisheries Science and white legged shrimp farms situated in village Thuiyan, District Fatehabad. Pacific white shrimp were fed with commercial feed. The average daily weight (ADW) of shrimp between ponds with and without polythene lining. The findings showed that the shrimp reared in the ponds with polythene lining had an ADW of 0.235 g, while the shrimp from the ponds without polythene lining had a significantly lower ADW of 0.206 g. The feed conversion ratio (FCR) for ponds with polyethylene lining, with a ratio of 1.27 compared to 1.35 for ponds without lining. The difference in weight gain between ponds with and without polythene lining. The polythene lined pond recorded a weight gain of 236185.7%, while the pond without lining recorded a weight gain of 211438.4% . The biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) was observed to be in the range of 0.57 mg/l to 1.14 mg/l in polythene-lined ponds, while in ponds without a lining, it was recorded to be between 0.29 mg/l to 1.26 mg/l.

    Effect of different dietary sources on the rearing of Amur carp (Cyprinus carpio haematopterus)
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2021-09) Shahi, Sudha; Gajender Singh
    In present study, different types of feed were incorporated in diet included T1 (live feed), T2 (live+formulated feed), T3 (formulated feed) and commercial feed as a control treatment (Tₒ) to assess the effect of different dietary sources on the rearing of Cyprinus carpio haematopterus fry for three months. 180 fry having initial weight and length (.25 gm and 2.08 cm) were recorded and divided into 12 groups having 15 fries in each treatment tank. The growth parameter and water quality parameters were measured at fortnight intervals. The study showed that all the growth parameters were found significantly (p=0.05) increasing throughout the experiment period. The maximum weight and length were observed in T2 treatment i.e. (5.31±0.01) gm and (5.25 ±0.02) cm and minimum weight and length were observed in control treatment Tₒ i.e. (3.37±0.04) gm and (3.10± 0.10) cm. SGR, DWG, and ADG were found maximum in T2. The FCR of (1.30±0.05) was found best in treatment T2. Various physicochemical parameters (DO, pH, electrical conductivity, total alkalinity, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, chloride, and ammonia concentration) were ranged within the tolerance level in the experimental period. At the end of the experiment carcass composition analysis showed maximum protein of (49.67±0.66) % and fat of (25.33±2.33) % in T2 treatment. The result of the experiment depicted that incorporation of a mixed diet of live feed and formulated feed completes the nutrient requirement for the rearing of Cyprinus carpio haematopterus fry
