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.

    EFFECT OF FEEDING FENUGREEK (TRIGONELLA FOENUM-GRAECUM) AND GILOY (TINOSPORA CORDIFOLIA) ON MILK YIELD AND BIOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF BLOOD AND MILK IN DAIRY COWS
    (CSKHPKV, Palampur, 2017-06-08) Sharma, Anurag; Kumar, Naresh
    The study was conducted on Jersey crossbred lactating cows randomly divided into four groups, each group having six animals. T1, T2 and T3 group cows received Giloy stem powder (150 g), or Fenugreek seed powder (150 g), or a combination of both the herbs (75 g of each) respectively, mixed with the concentrate feed for 60 days while the control group (T0) received only the concentrate. Milk yield was recorded every 5th day from Day 0 (a day before the starting of herbal treatment) to Day 75 (15 days after the stoppage of herbal feeding). Milk and blood sampling was done fortnightly, from Day 0 to Day 75. Milk samples were analyzed for milk composition parameters (Fat, SNF, milk protein and Lactose per cent) and minerals (Ca, P, Fe, Cu and Zn). Blood plasma samples were analyzed for biochemical parameters viz. glucose, lipid profile (TAG, Cholesterol, HDL and LDL), protein profile (Total protein, albumin, globulin and A: G ratio) and renal profile (urea nitrogen and creatinine) and minerals (Ca, P, Fe, Cu and Zn). It was found that the feeding of Giloy stem powder or Fenugreek seed powder alone or in combination to lactating Jersey crossbred cows did not lead to any significant change in the milk yield. Milk Fat, SNF, milk protein and lactose did not change to any significant extent after feeding of Giloy or Fenugreek or both. Giloy supplementation lead to significantly lower levels of blood glucose while fenugreek alone or in combination with giloy was effective in lowering the total cholesterol and LDL levels in the blood of lactating dairy cows. Most of the other blood biochemical parameters remained unchanged in control and treated animals. Herbal supplementation had no significant influence on any of the mineral elements (Ca, P, Fe, Cu and Zn) estimated in milk and blood plasma of lactating cows used in this study. Keywords: Giloy, Fenugreek, milk yield, milk composition, blood biochemistry, minerals.
