Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Agriculture University, Palampur

Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya (renamed as Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya in June, 2001) was established on 1st November, 1978.The College of Agriculture (established in May, 1966) formed the nucleus of the new farm University. It is ICAR accredited and ISO 9001:2015 certified institution. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research has ranked this University at eleventh place among all farm universities of the country. The University has been given the mandate for making provision for imparting education in agriculture and other allied branches of learning, furthering the advancement of learning and prosecution of research and undertaking extension of such sciences, especially to the rural people of Himachal Pradesh. Over the years, this University has contributed significantly in transforming the farm scenario of Himachal Pradesh. It has developed human resources, varieties and technologies and transferred these to farming community enabling the State to receive the “Krishikarman award” of Govt. of India four times in row for food grain production among small states of the country. Today, the State has earned its name for hill agricultural diversification and the farming community has imposed its faith in the University.

    INFLUENCE OF VARIOUS FACTORS ON DURATION OF POSTPARTUM ANESTRUS OF COWS IN H.P.
    (CSKHPKV, Palampur, 2012-07) Ranaut singh, Nishant Deep; Kumar, Navneet
    ABSTRACT The present study was conducted on postpartum cows (n=340) belonging to farmers of districts Kangra and Hamirpur of H.P. The cows exhibiting estrus within 90 days postpartum were categorized as control (n=95) and rest (n=245) were categorized in to different groups depending upon duration of postpartum anestrus i.e. 3-6 m (n=84), 6-9 m (n=88) and 9m and above (>9m; n=73). The data recorded from the farmers regarding managemental practices viz. duration of postpartum anestrus, amount of concentrate feed provided per day, average milk yield per day, sex of calf born during recent calving, males housed along with cows, duration of suckling postpartum, deworming status, feeding practice and supplementation of mineral mixture and salt was analysed. The random blood samples of control (n=12) and anestrus (n=50) cows were collected for haematological, macro and micro minerals, biochemicals and hormonal estimations. Only 27.94 per cent cows had exhibited estrus behaviour within 90 days postpartum whereas 24.71, 25.88 and 21.47 per cent animals remained anestrus for 3-6m, 6-9 m and >9 m respectively, under rural managemental condition of Himachal Pradesh. Lesser quantity of concentrate ration and mineral mixture was provided to anestrus cows as compared to control ones, whereas salt was supplemented to all cows irrespective of anestrus duration. The BCS of control (2.77±0.02) and anestrus group (2.68±0.02) cows was comparable. No difference was recorded in per day milk yield. The practice of suckling influenced the anestrus duration. The duration of anestrus was more in cows with higher ectoparasite load (20.82 v/s 6.32 %). There was no variation in macro and micro mineral profile between control and anestrus cows. The total leucocyte count was higher (16.18±1.83 v/s 10.89±0.79 x 109 /L) whereas cholesterol (109.10±6.08 v/s 152.95±16.02 mg/dl) and T4 (2.55±0.20 v/s 5.04±0.39 µg/ml) concentrations were lower in anestrus compared to control group cows, respectively.

    GENITAL STATUS AND REPRODUCTIVE DISORDERS IN SMALL RUMINANTS-AN ABATTOIR INVESTIGATION
    (CSKHPKV, Palampur, 2012-07) Agrawal Kumar, Jitendra; Kumar, Navneet
    ABSTRACT The present study was undertaken to conduct an abattoir survey on morbid genitalia of sheep (n=267) and goat (n=371) procured from local abattoirs in and around Palampur over a period of one and a half year from September 2010 to March 2012. A detailed gross morphological examination of the genital tracts involving the ovaries, uterus and cervix was carried out to study normal physiological status or detect any abnormality or disease condition and classified as normal, gravid or abnormal. The ovarian activity was assessed on the basis of presence or absence of corpora lutea (CL). To record seasonal variations, the genital tracts were examined for number of small and large follicles and CL. Out of total sheep genitalia examined, 227 (85.02%) were physiologically normal and 40 (14.98%) had one or more genital abnormalities. Examination of goat genitalia revealed that 279 (75.20%) were normal whereas 92 (24.80%) had genital abnormalities. Ovarian abnormalities were observed in 4.86 per cent of ewes. In goats, 10.24 per cent incidence of ovarian disorders was recorded. Uterine abnormalities were observed in 7.11 per cent of ewes, which included endometritis (0.37%), pyometra (1.87%), mucometra (1.49%), hydrometra (2.99%) and mummification (0.37%). In goats, 8.08 per cent cases of uterine abnormalities were recorded involving endometritis and pyometra (1.34% each), hydrometra (3.5%) and excessive hemorrhage (0.8%). Miscellaneous lesions such as parovarian cysts, parasitic cysts and nodules on outer surface of uterine horns were also evident. The uterine and ovarian abnormalities co-existed only in a few abattoir sheep or goat genitalia. Quite a good number of sheep (7.8%) and goats (11.59%) were pregnant. Right ovary was more active as compared to left in both the species. Significantly (p<0.05) higher mean number of corpora lutea was recorded during breeding season both in sheep (0.64±0.06 vs 0.39±0.06) and goats (0.76±0.05 vs 0.55±0.07).

    GALACTOGENIC AND REPRODUCTIVE CHANGES AFTER HORMONAL INDUCTION OF LACTATION IN ABANDONED COWS
    (CSKHPKV, Palampur, 2013-10) Bangthai, Ajit; Sood, Pankaj
    ABSTRACT The present study evaluated efficacy, udder secretory characteristics, milk quality and change in reproduction status following artificial induction of lactation using two different protocols. The Protocol 1 comprised of diethylstilbestrol, hydroxyl progesterone caproate, dexamethasone and reserpine administered over a 19 day period in 23 cows (20 raised in goshalas G1; 3 by individual farmers G2). Protocol 2 did not have reserpine; the remaining drugs, alike the first protocol, were administered over a 13 day period in 22 cows (19 raised in goshalas G3; 3 by individual farmers G4). All the cows, primarily Jersey crossbreds, were infertile, non-pregnant (cycling: n = 44; anestrus: n = 1) and non-lactating. The day of first injection was considered as day 1. Induction of lactation was successful (milk production of 1L/d) in 30%, 100%, 21% and 100% respondents in G1, G2, G3 and G4, respectively. Initiation of lactation began from day 10.0 ± 1.7 to day 12.3 ± 1.4 and did not differ between groups. There was a progressive increase in milk yield from day 15 to day 75 recorded at 15 day intervals. The milk yield between G1 versus G3 and G2 versus G4 was similar, but higher (P=0.10 atleast) in the latter subset of cows. The maximum yield (L/d) was 2.50 ± 0.3, 5.20 ± 1.30, 1.57 ± 0.19 and 5.2 ± 1.5 in G1, G2, G3 and G4, respectively and was observed at day 60 or 75. Failure of induction in non-respondents and low milk yield in G1 and G3 was probably due to a low live weight and/or BCS. Another group of 5 normal postpartum cows (control) was compared with the induced cows for certain plasma and milk parameters. The plasma and milk concentrations of Na, K and Mg did not differ much at days 5, 15, 30, 35, 50 and 75, except for a varyingly low plasma and milk Ca in G1 and G3. The milk estrogen declined from day 15 or 30 and did not differ amongst groups at days 50 and 75. The milk progesterone was low (P<0.01) in control than the induced groups, each of which, however, did not differ at different lactation days. The plasma IGF-1 concentrations were higher than milk at day 5 and 35. The milk IGF-1 concentrations declined from day 5 to day 35 in the control and induced cows. The specific gravity and fat percentage between control and induced milk was similar on days 15, 30 and 50. The reproductive status of all the induced cows in the gaushalas did not change, whereas 3 out of 6 cows with farmers became pregnant. In conclusion, the cows with farmers than in gaushalas exhibited a greater success and more milk, with no additional benefit of reserpine. The milk appeared to be safe for human consumption after 30 days of induction. Settling of pregnancies in the infertile cows was the added advantage of induced lactation.
