The present study evaluates the effect of dietary zinc supplementation on reproductive and productive performance Teressa goat, an indigenous species ofAndaman Nicobar Islands.Eighteen female goats were randomly divided into 3 groups 6 animals each; (A) control with basal ration without any (B) Treatment 1 supplemented 50 ppm oxide (C) 2 100 oxide.Different parameters, e.g.numbers days to oestrus, incidence pregnancy rate, kidding rates weight kids recorded.Data indicated that different...
Aim: The present experiment was conducted to investigate and compare the haematological parameters of different pig breeds available at Andaman Nicobar Islands, India viz.Andaman wild pig, Nicobari desi Large White Yorkshire (LWY).Six erythrocyte traits, seven leukocyte traits four platelet were assessed.Materials Methods: 10 ml blood collected from each adult via external jugular vein aseptically in a collection tube containing anticoagulant EDTA (2 mg EDTA/ml blood).All these measured by...
Nicobari pig and Andaman Desi are indigenous germplasm of Nicobar islands, India. Over the last two decades, breeds witnessed a rapid decline in population, necessitating immediate characterization conservation. The present study depicts complete mitochondrial genome sequence pig. mitogenomes both encode 37 genes including 13 protein coding genes, 22 tRNAs, ribosomal RNA genes. In addition, control region (D-loop) was also present. Phylogenetic analysis showed that is phylogenetically close...
The present study was conducted with an aim to investigate the seroprevalence of leptospiral antibodies in cattle which act as reservoir host. During a total 427 sera samples were collected from different parts these islands. screened for presence against serovars leptospira by microscopic agglutination test (MAT). results revealed that out sample 180 (42.15%) showed leptrospira. positive are L. australis, autumnalis, canicola, hardzo, hebdomadis, icterrohaemorrhagiae, pomona, L.pyrogenes,...
Aim: The present study was carried out to characterize Andaman Desi pig genetically using 23 FAO recommended microsatellite markers.Materials and Methods: 25 blood samples were collected from unrelated pigs DNA isolated by standard procedure of phenol/chloroform.The genomic amplified polymerase chain reaction (PCR) at loci the PCR products resolved denaturing urea polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis alleles visualized after silver nitrate staining.The data analyzed for allele size range,...
Andaman Local Goat (ALG) is an indigenous goat breed of and Nicobar islands. The present study was designed to characterize the ALG for its phenotypic characters, feeding management system. Study revealed that these goats are medium short in stature with colour combination black, brown white. Ears flat leaf-like, medium-sized drooping. Both sexes have small horns, curved upward backward. Flock size per family ranges from 5 35. Age at first mating, weight age kidding, service period, kidding...
The present study evaluates the production performance of indigenous Nicobari fowls, Vanaraja and their various F1 crosses under hot humid climate Andaman Nicobar Islands, India. Birds (600) with 60 in each group were used for study. birds evaluated weekly body weight (g) from 0 day to 8 weeks age, monthly first month fourth shank length (mm), feed intake conversion ratio (FCR) up age at sexual maturity (ASM days), annual egg as hen house (AEP HHEP), different quality traits 40 age. At end...
Summary A breed of pig with distinctive productive and reproductive characteristics has been identified in the eastern Sub-Himalayan region West Bengal state, India adjoining Nepal. The is known as Ghoongroo (meaning anklet local language). most prevalent within 88° E to 90° longitudes 26.3° N 27.3° latitudes. Two distinct climates viz., cold moist hot humid are observed during year. Farmers manage animals both under stall-feeding stall-feeding-cum-grazing systems. Simple housing principally...
The aim of the present investigation was to study antibody response goat erythrocytes in Nicobari fowl, Vanaraja and their various F1 F2 crosses under hot humid climate Andaman Nicobar Islands. humoral immune measured against (1% v/v) red blood cells (GRBC) for total haemagglutinin (HA) titre on days 7, 14, 21 28 post-immunization (PI). Among pure breeds, HA titres Black were found significantly (P<0.05) be higher than that White but did not vary with Brown during entire period study....
Aim:In the present study, egg quality traits of endangered Nicobari fowl and its crosses (Nicorock Nishibari) were evaluated under intensive (deep litter) as well backyard system, in regions Andaman Nicobar Islands, India. Materials Methods:Fresh eggs (15) all three genetic groups birds collected randomly from institute farm (intensive system) farmers' field.The adult (50 weeks age) 3 times with 5 number each time.All subjected to same husbandry practices.The external internal parameters...
Data of 544 kids born during 2000 to 2017 maintained at the institute were analysed study factors affecting sex ratio and mortality rate in Andaman local goat under semi-intensive system. Frequency percentage kidding different years (2000 2017), months (January December) seasons (wet dry season) calculated. Relative female (RFR) as well secondary (SSR) was also calculated assess organised farm. Result revealed that birth rate, ratio, pattern such singles, twins triplets varied with months,...
Rice followed by wheat is the dominant cropping system in middle Indo-Gangetic plains (IGP). Lower productivity (4.8 t ha −1 ) of this Bihar, compared to national average (6.8 due several climate- and production-related issues, a matter concern for farmers policymakers. Keeping all these view, an experiment with rice–wheat was carried out during 2020–21 2021–22 17 adopted villages 13 districts Bihar under Project “Climate Resilient Agriculture Program (CRAP)” evaluate feasibility early...
Aim: In the present experiment, haematological parameters of Vanaraja, Nicobari fowls (Black, Brown and White) their six F crosses were evaluated.Four erythrocyte traits, leukocyte traits one platelet trait assessed.1 Materials Methods: Blood samples (1 ml) collected from wing vein each adult bird using 2 ml disposable syringe then directly transferred to labeled test tube containing anticoagulant EDTA (2 mg EDTA/ml blood).All measured by an instrument named Cell Counter Analyzer MS9-5V...
Haematological studies of the native Teressa goat found in A&N Islands, under open grazing system, was carried out with an aim to determine base-line information haematological and biochemical parameters as influenced by sex. Significant (P < 0.001) sex differences were evident on packed cell volume, haemoglobin, white blood cells (WBC), red (RBC), granulocyte % parameters. The observed value showed significantly 0.05) higher WBC (22.97), granulocytes (47.72), RBC (1.48), haemoglobin (12...
Okra or lady's finger, (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) commonly known as bhindi in India is the most popular vegetable of family malvaceae, an important tropical and subtropical region. It valued for its medicinal properties to cure renal colic, leucorrhoea, chronic dysentery goitre due high iodine content fruits. In okra, a large number varieties have been developed but substantial increase productivity could not be realized. There necessary improve yield per unit area achieve increased...
