University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru

University of Agricultural Sciences Bangalore, a premier institution of agricultural education and research in the country, began as a small agricultural research farm in 1899 on 30 acres of land donated by Her Excellency Maharani Kempa Nanjammanni Vani Vilasa Sannidhiyavaru, the Regent of Mysore and appointed Dr. Lehmann, German Scientist to initiate research on soil crop response with a Laboratory in the Directorate of Agriculture. Later under the initiative of the Dewan of Mysore Sir M. Vishweshwaraiah, the Mysore Agriculture Residential School was established in 1913 at Hebbal which offered Licentiate in Agriculture and later offered a diploma programme in agriculture during 1920. The School was upgraded to Agriculture Collegein 1946 which offered four year degree programs in Agriculture. The Government of Mysore headed by Sri. S. Nijalingappa, the then Chief Minister, established the University of Agricultural Sciences on the pattern of Land Grant College system of USA and the University of Agricultural Sciences Act No. 22 was passed in Legislative Assembly in 1963. Dr. Zakir Hussain, the Vice President of India inaugurated the University on 21st August 1964.

    BIOCHEMICAL STUDIES ON THE SELECTED FRUIT WASTES FOR THEIR NUTRITIONAL EVALUATION AND UTILIZATION
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES BANGALORE, 2016-03-23) MUKUL, M; CHANDRU, R
    Fruit wastes (Pineapple, Jackfruit, Banana and Watermelon wastes) were collected from shops/roadside vendors in the city of Bengaluru and their nutritional composition, mineral content, dietary fiber and its properties were determined. Fruit wastes could be used as potential feedstuff for growing fishes; thereby this part of biodegradable municipal waste could be managed as alternative feedstuff in fish and other animal diets, reducing the amount of biodegradable municipal waste going to landfills. Fish feeds were formulated with 50% Groundnut oil cake (GOC), 25% Rice Bran (RB) and different incorporation levels of fruit peels not exceeding 25% to get isocalorific value of 317.15 kcal per lOOg. To each of 50 grams of GOC and 25 grams of RB (Basal feed) the incorporation levels of test ingredients was calculated based on estimated energy levels and incorporated accordingly to obtain iso-calorific values. The composition was made 100% by incorporating Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC) as inert filler. The fishes were fed for six days a week, twice daily and feeding was suspended on all Srmdays, during general holidays and on days when the weather conditions were unfavourable due to rain/continuous cloudiness. Sampling of fishes were conducted once in every ten days, which even checked the water quality along with the survival, growth and development of fishes. The results showed that there was a significant increase in the growth of fishes; in the pineapple peel followed by jackfruit rind and banana peel fortified feeds excluding control feed.
