Early pregnancy diagnosis is vital for economic sustainability of dairy farms and maintaining the reproductive efficiency of the herd. There are many techniques including progesterone assay, pregnancy specific proteins and interferon stimulated genes have been explored for early pregnancy diagnosis but, they are associated with varying level of efficacy. In the present experiment, interferon stimulated gene (Myxovirus resistance gene 2/MX2) expression pattern was used as a potential biomarker for early pregnancy in cattle. The association of MX2 gene expression in relation to progesterone assay was studied to explore its potential use as biomarker of early pregnancy. The plasma progesterone concentration in conceived animals on day 7 (2.26±0.19 ng/ml), 17 (5.42±0.35 ng/ml) and 21(6.38±0.39 ng/ml) was recorded to be significantly higher as compared to respective values in non-conceived animals, i.e. 1.55±0.09 ng/ml, 4.14±0.14 ng/ml and 0.81±0.06 ng/ml. The sudden decrement in plasma progesterone concentration after day 17th discriminates conceived and non-conceived animals. MX2 expression levels were observed to spike in blood due to release of interferon tau (τ) after implantation of embryo. The relative mRNA expression of MX2 gene showed a 9.5 to 28.64-fold higher expression on 17 days post insemination in pregnant animals as compared to non-pregnant animals. Thus, MX2 gene can be used as a reliable biomarker for the early detection of pregnancy.

The study presents the genetic diversity of Katchaikatty Black, an endangered and culturally significant sheep breed of Tamil Nadu. A panel of 25 microsatellite markers recommended for Indian sheep was used for genotyping. Considerable genetic variation in terms of allele diversity and heterozygosity was observed within the investigated breed. A total of 174 distinct alleles were detected across the analyzed microsatellite loci with an average of 6.96 alleles per locus. The average observed and expected heterozygosity values were 0.600 and 0.706, respectively. The positive heterozygote deficiency (FIS) value of 0.171, estimated for this breed may be due to the possibility of Wahlund effect resulting from sampling from different breeding flocks, i.e. different villages and flocks in the same area. A normal L-shaped curve suggested absence of genetic bottleneck in this breed. The information generated will be useful in guiding conservation and management programmes for Katchaikatty Black sheep.

The study was done with the objective to utilize supracutaneous bone plating as a mean of minimally invasive osteosynthesis for management of radius/ulna and tibia/fibula fractures in dogs. Nine cases of long bone fracture (2 radius/ulna and 7 tibia/fibula fracture) in dogs having body weight 8-20 kg and age 4 months to 2 years were repaired with supracutaneous bone plating (minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis) under general anaesthesia after a thorough physical, orthopaedic, neurological and radiographic examinations. Intra-operatively, 3.5 mm, locking head-limited contact-dynamic compression plate (LH-LC-DCP) was used in locking mode with insertion of two self-tapping locking head cortical screws of 3.5 mm (of varying length) in each proximal as well as distal fracture. The bone plate was applied on the medial surface of radius and tibia. Postoperative radiographs were taken to assessthe status of fracture reduction and fixation which was good in all the cases. Regular follow-ups showed good fracture reduction as well as fixation with no changes in implant position. Loosening of screws was observed in single case with no other complication in any of the cases. All the implants were removed on or before 68th day after surgery under sedation. All the animals showed good weight bearing with near to normal limb function on final day of the reappraisal. The supracutaneous bone constructs provided good reduction and fixation at fracture site similar as external skeletal fixators not compromising on axial and torsional stiffness.

Environmental heat stress is one of the restrictive factors for optimum production of dairy cows. Present study was conducted to assess alteration in cardinal physiological responses, heat tolerance indices and milk yield in Jersey crossbred cows at three levels of thermal humidity index (THI), viz. THI-1 (<72), THI-2 (72-80) and THI-3 (>80). THI levels significantly influenced rectal temperature (RT) and respiration rate (RR), but not the pulse rate. With increase in THI level 1 to 3, the RT and RR increased significantly by 0.75°F and 10.70 counts/min during morning and 0.92°F and 12.5 counts/min during afternoon, respectively. The respective enhancement between THI-2 to THI-3 was 0.48°F and 7.06/min in morning and 0.58°F and 7.45/min in afternoon. Among the cardinal physiologicalresponses, breathing rate was the most diurnal variable parameter and it increased by 22-29% from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm with enhancement of stress levels fromTHI-1 to THI-3. Measures of heat tolerance indices revealed that cows were comfortable at THI-1 and discomfort levels were prominent at THI > 80. Low yielders (<10 kg/day) resisted natural heat stress by oriented decline in daily milk yield (DMY) and sustained DMY even at THI >80. In case of high yielders (>10 kg/day) increase in THI level 1 to 2, DMY did not drop significantly; in contrast, with increase of THI-2 to THI-3, the DMY declined. It was concluded that enhanced breathing rate was the most prominent bio-indicator of natural heat stress in Jersey crossbred cows and at THI>80 production decline due to natural heat stress was nonsignificant in low yielders, whereas highly significant in high yielders (more than 21%). It was recommended that atTHI >80, inside of cow shed needs immediate amelioration measures to diminish production losses and high yielders (>10 kg/day) warrant more attention than low yielders during heat stress.

This study aimed to determine the effect of dietary supplementation of inulin on growth performance, feed conversion and nutrient digestibility in Barbari goats fed high and low concentrate diet for a period of 90 days. Twenty four yearling female Barbari goats were randomly divided into four equal groups (n=6) according to average body weight (18.24±1.16 kg). Treated animals in Group 1 were fed low concentrate diet (LCD; concentrate roughage ratio 40:60) and Group 2 (LCIN) with 2% inulin supplementation (% DM basis). Similarly, Group 3 was fed high concentrate diet (HCD; concentrate roughage ratio 60:40) and Group 4 (HCIN) with 2% inulinsupplementation. Results showed that average daily gain (ADG) and feed conversion efficiency (FCE) were higher in inulin supplemented groups than the non-supplemented group. There was no increase in mean live body weight (BW) and dry matter intake (DMI) with inulin supplementation either in LCD or HCD treatment groups.The mean body condition score (BCS) was also similar in all groups. However, faecal score (FS) was superior in inulin supplemented group observed after 30 days of feeding trial. There was significant improvement in the digestibility coefficient of crude protein and DCP intake. It was concluded that inulin supplementation either in high concentrate and low concentrate diet of growing goats resulted in improvement in growth performance, faecal score and nutrient digestibility.

Male infertility is becoming an important untouched area that needs immediate attention due to the increasing demand for breeding strategies, keeping in view the production and increasing per animal productivity. Many additives and antioxidants have been tried for enhancing the seminal quality, but still there is no evidence of full- proof effect on the conception rates in female animals. However, herbal preparations which promise multi-factorial effect in the breeding male animals can be explored, and in turn could prove to be a better tool to encounter the problem of male infertility holistically. The herbal preparations and its effect at the cellular, molecular and metabolic level still needs to be understood. However, the advantage of using the herbal ingredients could be, use of available local herbal ingredients which are more economical, affordable, can reduce the use of hormonal therapy, have less side effects on long term usage, and have greater acceptability by the farmers. These herbal ingredients will be useful in breeding programmes for improvement of germplasm in terms of productivity. The current review covers how the herbs can be utilized in improving the semen quality and quantity, enhancing function of sertoli and leydig cells, mating behaviour, fecundity, seminal antioxidant status, hypophyseal adrenal gonadal axis cum endocrine regulation, microcirculation of testes, as well as in semen cryopreservation and post thaw quality of different species.

In the current study we have undertaken the scientometric analysis to map research publications from 19 different animal science research institutions under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), for a period of two decades (1998 to 2020), using the Web of Science (WoS) platform of Clarivate Analytics. We analyzed different scientometric parameters like year-wise citation records, institute-wise publication output, authorship pattern, publication types, top collaborating countries, research areas and journals, and relative growth rate and doubling time. Current analysis revealed that the maximum number of research articles were published in 2017 and ICAR-Indian Veterinary Research Institute contributed to the highest number of research papers and citations during thestudy period. Multi-authorship papers were significantly higher than single and double-authored papers. The study showed that in the field of animal sciences, the USA is the top collaborator with India resulting in 417 collaborative research papers. The Indian Journal of Animal Sciences carried the maximum number of research papers published by researchers from ICAR-Animal Science Research Institutes (ASRI) during 1998-2020. Relative Growth Rate (RGR) showed a decreasing trend in research publications while the doubling time increased during this period. The paper provides a comprehensive account of the research trends in animal sciences research and also insights for strengthening research focus in India.

This study was carried out to compare the efficacy of certain liquid semen extenders for boar semen preservation. Semen ejaculates (n=30) from three boars (one ejaculate/boar/week) stationed at University pig farm, Ludhiana were collected using dummy sow and extended (1:4) in lactose-sodium salt of EDTA-Egg yolk (LSEEY); glucose sodium salt of EDTA-potassium sodium tartrate-sodium citrate (GEPS); and Modena (MOD). The extended semen was kept at 17°C up to 120 h in a BOD incubator. The semen was assessed for various sperm characteristics and lipid peroxidation at 0, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 h of preservation. The results revealed significantly higher percentage of sperm motility, viability, plasma membrane integrity and acrosome integrity in semen extended with MOD thanin GEPS and LSEEY at different preservation times. The mean percentage of in vitro capacitation/acrosome reacted spermatozoa was significantly higher in MOD as compared to GEPS and LSEEY at 96 h and 120 h of storage period. In all the extenders, the mean percentage of most sperm attributes decreased progressively as the storage period increased. Correspondingly, the MDA levels were lower in MOD than in their contemporary extenders at all hours of preservation. In conclusion, Modena exhibited improved sperm parameters and reduced oxidative stress for liquid preservation of boar semen.

Semen ejaculates (n=30) from three boars (one ejaculate/boar/week) stationed at University pig farm, Ludhiana were collected using dummy sow and extended (1:4) in lactose-sodium salt of EDTA-Egg yolk (LSEEY); glucose sodium salt of EDTA-potassium sodium tartrate-sodium citrate (GEPS); and Modena (MOD). The extended semen was kept at 17°C up to 120 h in a BOD incubator. The semen was assessed for various sperm characteristics and lipid peroxidation at 0, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 h of preservation. The results revealed significantly higher percentage of sperm motility, viability, plasma membrane integrity and acrosome integrity in semen extended with MOD thanin GEPS and LSEEY at different preservation times. The mean percentage of in vitro capacitation/acrosome reacted spermatozoa was significantly higher in MOD as compared to GEPS and LSEEY at 96 h and 120 h of storage period. In all the extenders, the mean percentage of most sperm attributes decreased progressively as the storage period increased. Correspondingly, the MDA levels were lower in MOD than in their contemporary extenders at all hours of preservation. In conclusion, Modena exhibited improved sperm parameters and reduced oxidative stress for liquid preservation of boar semen.","PeriodicalId":13507,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Animal Sciences","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135740564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Feeding trial was conducted for 7 weeks using 5-6 months old chokla lambs reared in helminth free conditions. The source of condensed tannin was dried leaves of khejri (Prosopis cineraria). The animals were randomly allocated to six treatment groups: (1) Low protein (LP, 10.0% CP) throughout the trial, (2) high protein (HP, 18.4% CP) throughout the trial, (3) LP (for initial 3 weeks of the experiment) and then combination of LP and Khejri (K), (4) combination of LP and K throughout the trial, (5) HP (for initial 3 weeks of the experiment) and then combination of HP and K, and (6) combination of HP and K throughout the trial. At day 0, all groups were trickle infected with infective H. contortus larvae and subsequently with 400-500 larvae/animal three times per week for 6 weeks. Therewas no improvement in resilience as well as resistance of lambs fed with combination of LP concentrate and khejri leaves. Lambs (4-5) were given salvage treatment in each group. Bottle jaw condition was seen in two lambs in each group. There was similar reduction in both PCV and Hb parameters in all the three groups fed with LP concentrate without any influence of inclusion of khejri leaves in the diet. Similarly CT inclusion did not influence the faecal egg count (FEC). On the other hand, improvement in both resistance and resilience was observed in lambs fed with combination of HP concentrate and khejri leaves. Inclusion of khejri leaves in HP concentrate fed lambs significantly affected both PCV and Hb. Faecal egg count was also significantly affected. There was significant effect on average daily gains (ADG). Voluntary feed intake was obtained in collective pens. Although there was reduction in feed intake in all the groups during week 2 to 3, it was more evident in lambs kept on LP concentrate. Therefore, it was suggested that when tannin was included with HP concentrate, an additive effect was seen which resulted in increase in protein availability to the lambs.

The present study reports kinetics of anti-P. multocida antibody (Ab) response at monthly intervals in Murrah buffaloes of different age groups vaccinated against combined Foot-and-mouth disease+haemorrhagic septicaemia (FMD+HS) vaccine. A total of 60 Murrah buffaloes of three age groups having 20 animals each: calves, heifers and adults were used to monitor anti-P. multocida Ab response at monthly intervals using single dilution indirect ELISA. The percentage of adult buffaloes protected were found to be the highest during all the six months post-vaccination followed by heifers and calves. The protective mean Ab titres were maintained up to six months post-vaccination for heifers and adults but not for calves. The F value (the ratio of two mean squares) for pre- and all the six month(s) post-vaccination and all the three age groups was significantly higher. Pearson Chi square value for pre-vaccination and all the six months except three months post-vaccination was significantly higher. Pearson correlation value was significantly higher with positive linear relationship. The data in the present study indicated that the combined FMD+HS vaccine was found to be effective in buffaloes of all age groups at government organised farm and could be an ideal approach in field conditions under Livestock Health Disease Control Program run by the Government of India.
