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.

    COMPARATIVE STUDY OF BLOOD PROFILE OF NATIVE CHICKEN WITH DAHLEM RED AND THEIR CROSSES
    (CSKHPKV, Palampur, 2018-07-16) Saklani, Samriti; Singh, Geetanjali
    The present study was conducted with the objectives of finding baseline values of biochemical and haematological parameters for native chicken, comparing them with the Dahlem Red (DR), cross of native and DR (DRN) and cross of DR with DRN (DND) and to observe alteration in normal values with age and sex. The study was conducted on forty healthy randomly selected birds which were divided in to four groups, each group having five males and five females of native, DR, DRN and DND. Forty blood samples were collected from these birds at their growing stage and forty blood samples were collected at their adult stage. The haematological parameters namely, haemoglobin, packed cell volume, total erythrocyte count, total leucocyte count, differential leucocyte count, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration were estimated. Blood biochemical parameters viz. glucose, lipid profile (triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL and LDL), protein profile (total protein, albumin, globulin and A:G ratio), renal profile (urea, creatinine and uric acid) along with plasma minerals (calcium and phosphorus) were estimated from the collected blood samples using standard analytical techniques. It was found that biochemical parameters viz. total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, creatinine, urea were significantly (p<0.05) different among all the breeds/crosses, between age groups and between males and females of the same breeds/crosses. Haematological parameters viz. haemoglobin, packed cell volume, total erythrocyte count, total leucocyte count, differential leucocyte count were significantly (p<0.05) different among different breeds and age groups which can be due to different genotype and changes with the age.
