ThesisItem Open Access Evaluation of Ketamine and Its Combination with Diazepam and Lorazepam in Caprin Surgery(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1997) Shailendra Kumar Singh; P.N. sahay1. Ketamine alone @ 12 mg/kg body wt. induced optimal sedation but very poor analgesia and muscle relaxation in a limited area of the body. 2.Ketamine + diazepam in atropinized goats produced satisfactory sedation, adequate muscle relaxation and optimal analgesia, with smooth induction.. 3.There was abolition of superficial and deep cutaneous reflexes over a wider region of the body permitting surgery of different magnitudes with diazepam ketamine. 4.With Ketamine and lorazepam combination, there was rough induction, unsatisfactory muscle relaxation and analgesia even though sedation was moderate. 5. Hyperglycaemia of varying magnitude was a consistent feature of ketamine anaesthesia and its combination with diazepam and lorazepam. 6.BUN, ALT and AST levels exhibited alterations within the normal physiological limits and suggested non-toxic effect of the anaesthetic regimens on kidney, liver and heart. 7.Atropinization quality of did not seemed to be affecting anaesthesia, even though it countered side effects of ketamine effectively. 8.There was evidence to suggest that surgery stress conditions may be performed with diazepam combination in atropinized goats.ThesisItem Open Access Studies on Mite Infection in Dog and Its Control with Special Reference to Demodicosis(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1997) Manoj Kumar Jha; Dr.A.R.DebThe sarcoptes scabiei infestation was observed more 41 (19.09%) whereas Demodex canis was less 21(6.70%) different breeds of dogs. The mite infestation was recorded highest (27.36) in 6-12 months of age group as compared to other age groups. The males were more susceptible (21.83%) to the mites infestation than females (17.26%). Further study revealed that infestation was more common during winter season (22.95%) as compared to other seasons. Dogs reared under good management condition, the occurrence of infestation was less (15.38%). The localised infection of demodicosis was observed more (4.15%) than generalized condition (2.55%). Hematological study in experimentally infected pups revealed lower value of hemoglobin concentration and packed cell volume whereas differential leucocyte count showed lymphocytosis and eosinophilia. The biochemical profiles study indicated the increase in the value of globulin where as decrease in cholesterol, total lipid and albumin was observed.ThesisItem Open Access Studies on Utilization of the Mixture of Rice (Oryza sativa) And Marua (Eleusine Coracana) (80 20) Fermented Waste in Pig Grower Ration(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1998) Roseline Pushpa Tirkey; R.Bhakt1.Differences in average body weight, daily weight gain, and various body measurements (height, length and girth) of the piglets fed 0, 10, 20 and 30 % rice and maruafermented waste (80: 20) replacing 0, 33.33, 66.66 and 100 % wheat bran in their concentrate diet was found to be non-significant. 2. There was non-significant difference in feed efficiencies of piglets of various groups fed diets containing 0, 10, 20 and 30 % rice and marua fermented waste. 3. The cost involved on one kg gain in weight was significantly lower in piglets reared on diet containing 30 % rice and marua fermented waste than in piglets reared without rice and marua fermented waste but did not differ significantly to diet containing 10 or 20 % fermented wastes. Thus, wheat bran may be replaced up to 100% in the diet of growing piglets economically and without any harmful effect.ThesisItem Open Access Bacteriological Quality of Chevon with special reference to Staphylococcus aureus(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1998) Chandreshwar Prasad; Rajendra YadavIn Asian countries, goats are exclusively considered as meat animals. The preference for goat meat (chevon) is probably related to certain special features including distinctive flavour, which make it quite different from mutton. Visceral fat deposition is characteristics of goat. This in turn, affects the succulence and tenderness of chevon. Commercial organizations engaged in meat processing must maintain satisfactory microbiological standards of their products to ensure consumer safety and protect from spoilage. Such quality control and food safety programme in India appear to be in their infancy. In order to assess the quality of food for consumer's safety it is essential to examine it for bacteria responsible food poisoning and also food spoilage organisms. Therefore, the present study was undertaken with the objective to assess the hygienic quality and presence of food borne pathogens i.e. Staphylococcus aureus, Altogether 40 samples of chevon from two different sources of Ranchi town i.e. meat booths, Kanke and Bahu bazaar were analyzed. for bacteriological quality. The results of bacteriological examination has been expressed in log 10 scale. Total viable count in the samples of chevon obtained from meat booths, Kanke ranged from 6.3979 to 7.1847 with an average of 6.8463/g. All the samples were positive for coliform and count varied from 4.9031 to 5.6721 with an average of 5.4658/g.ThesisItem Open Access Studies on Heat Resistant Bacillus Strains Isolated From Different Fermented Foods With Special Reference to Emetic Enterotoxin(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1998) Ram Sarikh Prasad; Dr. Md Kalimuddin1.Twenty five samples (20.83%) were found positive for heat resistant Bacillus cereus out of hundred twenty samples of different fermented foods. 2. All the five types of fermented foods viz. dosa premix, rice beer, idli, curd and soysauce examined, were found to be contaminated with heat resistant Bacillus cereus. The incidence of Bacillus cereus in dosa premix, rice beer, idli, curd and soysauce was 37.50%, 33.33%, 25.00 % , 4.16% and 4.16%, respectively. 3. Area-wise incidence of heat resistant Bacillus cereus in fermented foods viz. Dhurwa, Hinoo, Main road Ranchi, Kanke and Kanke road was 23.21%. 16.65%, 19.98% 23.21%, respectively. 4. The bio typing of the isolates revealed that the fermented foods were contaminated with biotypes 1(16.00 %), 2 (4.00%), 4 (72.00%), 5 (4.00%) and 8 (4.00%). This would help to understand the epidemiology of food poisoning due to Bacillus cereus. 5.Most of the isolates from fermented foods ferment xylose (84.00%) and the findings are in accordance with the European. reports.ThesisItem Open Access Studies on bacillus Enterotoxins and their Pathogenesis(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1997) Malik Mehboob Willayat; K.G.Narayan1. Six varieties of rice collected from north, south, east and west of Ranchi city were found contaminated to an extent of 50.00, 56.25, 81.25, 87.50, 100.00 and 100.00 percent, respectively, for Sonachur, Rice King, Mansuri, Parmal, Gandevta and Bundu. 2. Percentage of sample bearing heat resistant strains (100°C, 20 minutes) was 7.29 indicating that cooked rice may not be sterile always as is presumed. 3. The biotyping of the isolates revealed that the rice was contaminated with biotypes 7(28.94%), 6( 23,68 %), 5(18,42%) and 2(13.15%). This would help to understand the epidemiology of food poisoning due to Bacillus cereus. 4. Most of the isolates from rice (65.78%) did not ferment xylose and the findings are in accordance with the European reports. 5. The field isolates varied in production of the type of enterotoxins. 45.83 percent isolates produced both emetic as well as diarrhoeal type enterotoxins compared to 33.33 and 20.80 percent producing only emetic and diarrhoeal enterotoxins, respectively. 6. Shake-Cultures incubated at 30-32°C for 5-12 hours was ideal for optimal production of diarrhoeal enterotoxin as tested by VPR and MLT. 7. Bacillus cereus metabolites viz. phospholipase C, hemolysins and the lethal toxins when separated by gel filtration and other Methods did produces VPR or MLT in Vivo but Produced strong in Vitro lecithinovitelline reaction and hemolysis.ThesisItem Open Access Bacteriological Quality of Fishes Reared in Pig and Cattle Manure fed Pounds(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1998) Niraj Kumar Verma; Dr. K.G. NarayanThe present work was undertaken to study bacteriological quality of fishes reared in pig and cattle manure fed ponds with the following objectives: 1. To determine physico-chemical changes in water samples after application of pig and cattle manure separately in two different ponds. 2. To determine the growth of fishes under above two different managmental conditions. 3. To determine total bacterial and coliform loads of water, soil (sediments) and fishes under above two managemental conditions. 4. To study carrier status of Salmonella typhimurium in fishes after experimental exposure. The entire work was completed in two phases. In phase-I, the experiment was performed outside the laboratory. in two similar seasonal ponds at Boreya, Kanke, Ranchi. In this phase, the physico-chemical characters of water and growth of fishes were determined.ThesisItem Open Access Some Aspect of Mastitis in Buffaloes(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1987) Praveen kumar; Dr. A.K.SinhaHazarduous effect of mastitis on the socio-economic status of the farmers through the loss of milk and health of the animals leading to their culling and sacrifice is well established. With a view to asses the incidence and prevalence of mastitis in buffaloes in and around Ranchi in different farms with respect of daily milk yield, month of lactation, parity, types of infection and quarterwise infection by different indirect tests, the present investigation work was undertaken. To study these aspects of mastitis in buffaloes one organised farm, three unorganised farms and several private owners comprising the mixed group in and around Ranchi were taken for this study. Out of 259 milch animals 112 buffaloes were examined for incidence and prevalence of mastitis by indirect tests viz.trypsin inhibitor test, modified California mastitis test and bromothymol blue indicator card test and clinical observations were carried out to detect clinical, subclinical and chronic mastitis in these animals. To find out the causative organisms of mastitis and for their cure; culture, isolation, identification, sensitivity to different drugs, biological test for confirmations and drug trials for their treatment with different drugs were carried out in 29 buffaloes who were found positive for mastitis. Comparison of indirect tests for its suitability in detecting mastitis and efficacy of treatment for selection of drugs and line of treatment were carried out to have a better result of the research,ThesisItem Open Access Effect of Flyash on Growth and Nutrient Accumulation in Certain Crops and Tree Species and Its Impact on Soil Health(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1997) Arvind Kumar; A.K.SarkarFly ash is chemically an amorphous ferro alumino silicate and is an important pollutant in the industrial areas. Bulk of the flyash generated by steel & thermal power plants are used in making bricks, road making and in cement refractory product. Fly ash contains many nutrients essential for plant growth, which could be made use of in increasing crop productivity. but the results have been inconsistent over the ears only recently some valuable information have been generated at this University, through green house experiments with soybean and rice. The present research work is an extension of these studies with field, pot culture and laboratory experiments. The objectives of the present investigation were: 1. Characterization of fly ash obtained from different sources. 2. Yield and uptake of trace metals by cereal and pulse crops grown in flyash amended soils. 3. Influence of flyash on trace metal availability in acid soils. 4. Growth parameters and trace metal content of tree species grown in flyash amended soils. The salient results obtained may be summarized: 1. Properties of flyash varied with the source. Bokaro fly ash was moderately acidic in reaction. IC and ++ exch. Ca++ were high. Flyash was rich in total macro- and micro-nutrients except nitrogen. High available P, K and s and DTPA extractable micro nutrients were found in fly aah samples. content of Pb, Ni and co in Elyash were considerably higher than that in soils. 2. Grain yield of rice, wheat and soybean was higher in 8 to 16% fly ash amended soil compared to soil alone. At recommended level of NPK, flyash favourably influenced crop yields. 3. soils amended with flyash upto 16% level increased the availability of cationic micronutrients in soil and its uptake by crop plants. 4. In onion, flyash increased plant height, total soluble salts and bulb weight at 100 t ha-1 level. Fly ash application increased available B in soil & content in onion bulbs. 5. Growth of tree species such as subabul, chalundi, Karanj, Black siris, shisham and Gamhar in soils alended with 20% flyash was superior than soil alone. Leguminous tree species performed better in this regard. 6. Absorption and translocation of trace metals differed considerably among tree species grown in flyash amended soiled among trace metals higher Ni (2 to 4 mg kg), Pb (2 to 5 mg kg-¹) and Co (6 to 14 mg kg) content in leaves of tree species is a matter of concern. Two tree species, chalundi and Karanj performed better than others at 50% flyash (w/w) level. 7. Flyash addition in acid soil had considerable residual effect as judged by crop yield and uptake of trece metals. It is concluded that: 1. Fly ash upto 16% level can be effectively utilized for increasing crop yield and availability of soil nutrients. Co-application of fertilizers and organic manures is highly beneficial. 2. Fly ash addition enriches soil trace metal availability. 3. Fly ash application at 100 t ha-1 increases plant height of onion with increase in content of boron in onion bulbs and available boron in acid soil. 4. Leguminous tree species can be successfully grown upto 20% £ly ash level. 5. monitoring of trace metals (esp. Ni & Co) in crops and tree species grown in flyash dumps is essential to avoid contamination of soil-plant-animal food chain.
