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.

    PROPERTIES OF UAS SHEEP BREED WOOL
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 1999-09-09) BIDIKAR, PRATIBHA R.; Mahale, Geeta
    The present study was conducted during 1997-98. The wool samples of UAS sheef breed of spring clip and autumn clip were collected from the Department of Animal Science, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad. The samples were tested for morophology, solubility and physical properties. The UAS sheep breed wool properties were compared with native Deccani wool (mixed clip). Results revealed that majority of the fibres of UAS sheep breed wool had annular type scale structure, circular, finer in diameter and non-medullated. The UAS crossbred wool had 56.19 mm fibre length, 47.53 mm staple length, 20.00 per cent fibre crimp, 31.64 p fibre diameter, 34.00 per cent meduliation and 10.17 g/tex fibre bundle strength. Non medullated fibres had lesser fibre diameter as compared to partially medullated and coarsely medullated fibres. The fibre diameter was decreased with decrease in meduliation percentage. Yarn fineness was improved (3.30 Nm) where as single yam strength and yam elongation at break were reduced. Fibre and yam properties were higher in the autumn clip than in the spring clip. The UAS sheep breed wool fibres were resistant to sodium carbonate, hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, organic solvants and bleaching agents, but partially soluble in sodium hydroxide and completely soluble in sulfuric acid. There was improvement of UAS sheep breed over native Deccani in fibre diameter, meduliation, fibre crimp and yarn count, but reduction was observed in fibre bundle strength and yam elongation at break
