Goats provide significant contribution to the human health, nutrition and income generation. The oocyte-derived, growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF-9) is important for fertility fecundity in mammalian species. Species-specific different expression pattern of GDF-9 indicates its involvement regulating follicular development female reproduction various present study was undertaken amplify full length coding DNA sequence (CDS) from corpus luteum goat. Mid-luteal stage collected RNA isolation....
Abstract Kadaknath, the only black chicken indigenous to India, faces threat of extinction due declining numbers. Its meat is used in tribal medicine for invigorating and health-promoting properties. Expectations immune-boosting therapeutic properties its are creating a buzz these days. Thus, Kadaknath was explored further compared with commercial Cobb 400 broiler (Cobb) functional traits that might be contributing towards proclaimed pharmacological benefits. Birds (n = 20/ group) were...
Aim: The present report aimed to study the therapeutic and phytochemical properties of stems roots trans-himalayan plant Codonopsis clematidea. Material Methods: crude samples were explored for their chlorophyll, carotenoid carbohydrate content in order understand matrix these two parts. extraction phytochemicals was carried out by three different methods viz. sonication, maceration soxhlet methanol identify best method. Further, analysis Total Flavonoid Content (TFC) Polyphenolic (TPC)...
The aim was to study the polymorphism of exon 2 and 3 growth hormone (GH) gene, test polymorphic variants for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium investigate association these polymorphisms with chest girth paunch in Sirohi Barbari breeds goat.A total 80 kids involving forty each goat were included study. A good quality genomic DNA isolated from whole blood using standard protocol used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification products obtained on restriction digestion amplicon enzyme HaeIII...
Background: Indian domesticated chickens have a wide variety of phenotypes. Unlike other chicken breeds, Kadaknath has black meat and is used by indigenous tribal people for its invigorating therapeutic properties. To look the functional traits that might be contributing towards acclaimed benefits, free radical scavenging capacity metal chelating ability were explored first time in comparison to commercial Cobb broiler. Methods: During period 2018-2020, breast thigh collected from (n=20/...
One hundred forty–five individuals from two cattle breeds, Kenkatha and Gaolao, in India were studied using 25 fluorescently–labelled microsatellite markers. Genetic diversities within between populations studied. A total of 197 239 distinct alleles identified across loci Gaolao cattle, respectively. Means observed expected heterozygosity found to be 0.47 ± 0.24 0.62 0.21 Kenkatha, 0.53 0.17 0.68 0.14 The average PIC (Polymorphic Information Content) value was 0.59 for 0.65 0.15 cattle. mean...
Lycium ruthenicum is one of the high values yet lesser explored medicinal plant trans-Himalayan region India. The local traditional medicine system (Amchi system) has immense interest in powerful biological activity its fruits (black Goji berries). used for treatment many health problems like abnormal menstruation, vision problem, heart disease, enhance liver and kidney function, as well nutraceutical supplements. Purpose: In this study, we aim to have investigated, comparative analysis...
Backyard poultry farming contributes to food security, nutrition, and the regular income of rural farmers in India. Their products have a niche market here fetch higher prices than those commercial poultry. Improved varieties are being developed overcome slow growth, late sexual maturity, low production indigenous breeds, while retaining their positive attributes. A comprehensive study was conducted analyze functional attributes meat from Jabalpur color (JBC), colored, improved dual-purpose...
The aim of present investigation was to study the virulence coccidiosis in Kadaknath birds, experimentally infected with E. tenella by OPG count, oocyst index and caecal lesions scoring. Sixty one-day old unsexed birds were randomly divided into a control, T1 T2 groups comprising twenty chicks under each group. At d 21 age, individually inoculated 10,000 20,000 sporulated oocysts from 5 9 pi, faecal droppings collected for counting OPG. Also at 4, 7 14 after infection, 2 challenge euthanized...
Aim: To study the genome profile of Chital deer (A.axis) by microsatellite markers using faecal DNA & to assess its usefulness as non invasive method genotyping.Materials and Methods: was isolated from 44 animals faeces blood, out which 26 (3 blood 23 faeces) were subjected for genotyping.The PCR products all ten loci 6 % Urea-PAGE differentiate allelic size.Result: Total 57 alleles 49 genotypes found with their frequencies ranging 0.022 0.457 0.043 0.696 respectively.The observed number...
Background: The most frequently observed forms of beta casein (β-Cn) in dairy cattle are A1 and A2. A2 β-Cn is recognized as the original protein because it existed before a mutation caused appearance European (Bos taurus) few thousand years ago. In cattle, beta-casein (CSN2) gene highly polymorphic with at least 13 genetic variants known until now.Methods: Research work was carried out on 50 Malvi Nimari, Sahiwal H F Cross bred cow. present research PCR amplicons 121bp were digested by...
