Performance of Narmadanidhi Birds Fed Azolla Supplement Diet
Azolla (mosquito fern, duckweed fern, fairy mass and water fern) is a floating fern in shallow water. It floats on the surface of water by means of nummers, small, closely overlapping scale like leaves with roots hanging in the water. Azolla forms a symbiotic relationship with the cyanobacteria bacterium Anabaena Azollae (Blue green algae), which fixes atmospheric nitrogen to convert into plant nitrogen. Azolla is one of the aquatic petridophyte that may be used as animal food, green manure, bio fertilizer, for increasing soil fertility due to its high nutritional value. Azolla pinnata is a rich source of protein, calcium and it contains almost all essential amino acids, minerals and other vitamins. Narmadanidhi is an improved dual purpose bird developed by the AICRP on Poultry Breeding, NDVSU, Jabalpur. The breed has been developed in such a way that terminal cross has 25% inheritance of Kadaknath breed and 75% inheritance of Jabalpur colour birds. Narmadanidhi has very attractive multicolor plumage pattern and strong body conformation and move fast in free range.

Ethology of Creole Horses
Horse breeding is one of the fastest-growing production chains in Brazil and worldwide, with animals used for sport and leisure. In their natural environment, horses spend most of their time grazing and searching for food, but in stables most of the day is filled with moments of idleness or rest, which can lead the animal to develop abnormal behaviors. Man and horse have a relationship that goes back centuries, but the basic needs of equines have been forgotten, causing them to live with the stressful environment that man has created for them.

Immunotherapy with avian IgY in experimentally infected mice
Trypanosoma evansi is a flagellated protozoan that affects cattle, sheep, goats, asses, cats and pigs. The disease is particularly important in horses and is known as "chair sickness" due to the characteristic locomotion deficits in infected animals. Various therapeutic drugs have been recommended for prophylaxis and control of the protozoan, but over the years these drugs have lost their efficacy and the protozoan seems to develop resistance. The production and use of avian antibodies has aroused great interest in the scientific community due to the diversity of diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Due to their phylogenetic distance, immune diversification mechanisms and the ability to transfer serum immunoglobulins to egg yolk, a number of advantages are now recognised when using avian antibodies instead of mammalian antibodies. In this study, a specific immunoglobulin against T. evansi was produced by immunising chickens using an isolate of the protozoan. Therapeutic efficacy was tested in Rattus norvegicus.
Effects of maternal and paternal lines and the Hal genotype in pigs
Dissections of pig carcasses are necessary to calibrate the devices used in the meat industry for carcass classification. There is a strong tendency for the meat industry to adopt carcass typing in order to regulate the production and marketing of pigs, allowing producers to be guided towards producing the types of carcasses most in demand by the market and in order to obtain better prices. Technological advances have led to the development of increasingly sophisticated devices that can be used to measure bacon thicknesses and loin depths at positions on the carcass that are highly correlated with the percentage of meat in the carcass. In modern pig farming, it is common to use commercial hybrids from highly specialized paternal and maternal lines, with maternal lines seeking characteristics such as prolificacy and milk production, while paternal lines seek hybrids with higher growth rates in lean meat and better feed conversion. This thesis deals with these aspects of pig genetic improvement.

Managemental practices for buffaloes in Vindhya region of M.P. (India)
Buffalo being one of the most important domestic animals, not only provides milk but is also used as draft animal. Buffalo holds the greatest promise for food security and sustainable development in the 21st century, as these animals form an integral part of the typical farming system. In India buffalo happens to be the back bone of the rural economy across most of the states in our country, with few exceptions, here and there. It is the mainstay in the production of butter and ghee. Not only this, buffalo is also considered more useful for account of higher fat content in its milk, apart from its ability of utilize agricultural by-products more efficiently. Basically, milk production and productivity depends on four dimensions of animal husbandry practices i.e. breeding, feeding, health-care and management practices. However, health-care, particularly the productive and reproductive efficiency of dairy animals is the backbone of dairy farming.Although, the state of MP is the leader in the milk production in the country, the milk yield per animal is very low.
Features of the epizootic process of animal brucellosis
The forecast of cattle brucellosis infection in Saratov and Orenburg regions of the Russian Federation and Aktobe and West Kazakhstan regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan up to 2030 has been carried out. An inactivated Brucella abortus vaccine from strain 82 with adjuvant biogenic hydroxyapatite protecting guinea pigs from brucellosis by 60% has been developed .After vaccination in cattleantibodies in agglutination reaction are produced with a titer of 1:100, complement binding reactions 1/5, 1/10 are retained for 3 months. Itis recommended to use the vaccine every 3 months after the first vaccination to maintain antibody titer at a high level until complete elimination of brucellosis. Adjuvant bio-GA in composition with inactivated brucellosis vaccine from Brucella abortus strain 82 does not have pronounced reactogenic properties, but is characterized by sufficient immunogenicity, which allows its use for the prevention of brucellosis in cattle .
Melatonin and its implications for bovine semen cryopreservation
Melatonin is an indolamine derived from the amino acid tryptophan, produced in the pineal gland and characterized by its ability to sequester reactive oxygen species (ROS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of melatonin supplementation to Tris-Gema diluent on the cryopreservation of bovine semen. Fifty-four ejaculates from Guzer獺 bulls were used. The semen was diluted in TRIS-gema, with the addition of melatonin, at the following experimental concentrations: control group - 0μM; Melatonin - 10μM; Melatonin - 100μM; Melatonin - 200μM. They were then filled into 0.25mL straws and cryopreserved. After thawing at 37簞C for 30 seconds, the aliquots were analyzed for the Rapid Thermal Resistance Test (RTT), plasma membrane (PM) integrity, acrosome (Ac), mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and sperm kinetics. The percentages of motility were higher (p
Management of Emu Birds
Emu is native to Australia, and also its national bird. Australian aborigines used to raise emus for food, shelter and clothing for centuries. Considered to be a menace once upon time to the agricultural farmers, emu is now emerging as a potential multi-million dollar industry in the world (Geo, 1993).It is expanding at a rapid rate in several countries including India. The birds are totally useable and its products include meat, oil, skin, feathers, nails and egg shells. A huge demand in international market exists for all these products. Despite this tremendous potential, very little is known about its scientific management, production performance and welfare. Emu farming in India is less than a decade old and no scientific information is available on any of the above aspects. Hence a pilot study was undertaken to study the production performance of emu birds maintained emu research unit, TANUVAS at RRC Pudukkottai, in Tamil Nadu.The results reported in this study pertains to the emu chicks from 0-90 days of age under normal feeding management system. The growth performance in terms of body weight, average daily weight gain, feed intake and feed efficiency was recorded.
Evaluation of the efficacy of calendula and sunflower oil ointment
Normally, in veterinary practice, wounds that will heal by second intention are protected using artificial dressings, which basically consist of gauze impregnated with emollient or antiseptic substances. Various studies have been carried out to find a substance that reduces the effects of contamination and favours the healing process. Considering the concern to offer alternatives to speed up the healing process in small animals, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of two herbal medicines: calendula (Calendula officinalis) and sunflower oil (Helianthus annus) on wounds that healed by second intention by evaluating the clinical evolution, microbiological and histopathological aspects.
Apoptosis and skin inflammation in canine visceral leishmaniasis
Visceral leishmaniasis is an endemic zoonosis in several countries, including Brazil. It is caused by Leishmania sp. and transmitted by the bite of Lutzomyia longipalpis. Apoptosis is a mechanism for the controlled elimination of cells and is important in resolving the inflammatory process. Apoptosis plays a role in the pathogenesis of many infections. The role of neutrophils in VL is still unclear, but it is known that parasitized neutrophils, like macrophages, are refractory to death by apoptosis. Thus, the survival of leishmania in neutrophils and their subsequent phagocytosis by macrophages seems to contribute to the progression of the infection. The aim of this study is to evaluate the possible relationship between apoptosis, inflammation and parasite load in dogs naturally infected with Leishmania.
Evaluation of the Epizootiology of the Newcastle Disease Virus
Newcastle Disease (ND) is a disease of viral aetiology that spreads rapidly and affects various species of domestic and wild birds. Among these species, the domestic pigeon (Columba livia) has been incriminated as a host and spreader of the disease not only to production birds, but also to wild birds. Little is known about the ability of pigeons previously infected with a pathogenic strain of Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) to transmit the disease to chickens. In view of this, and considering that Brazilian poultry farming plays an important role in the country's trade balance, it is imperative to begin studies aimed at expanding knowledge about the epizootiology of NDV, linking pigeons and chickens subjected to experimental infection and vaccination against strains of NDV. With this information, the real role played by the pigeon in the epidemiological chain of ND can be measured, especially with regard to the spread of the disease to chickens, as well as adding information with regard to immunoprophylaxis measures, enabling better control of the disease.
Epidemiology and risk assessment for the presence of ectoparasites

Trauma impacts one's life in a way that can sometimes seem irreparable, but there is hope for healing. "Find Your Fight" is all about understanding the science behind horrific circumstances, techniques to use throughout the healing journey, comparing the horse/human recovery process, and learning how to live a healthy life after enduring traumatic experiences.
Parasitic and bacterial diseases in commercial fish
World aquaculture is growing more than any other primary activity sector, among other factors stimulated by the growing population and the demand for healthy, nutrient-rich food. Taking advantage of existing water resources has led to the development of fish farming, with fish reared in net pens, dugouts or weirs. It is a lower-cost investment alternative that is quicker to implement and is seen as an agribusiness capable of improving the social, environmental and economic conditions of a region. Increased susceptibility to parasitic, bacteriological and infectious diseases has caused major losses in fish farming. The occurrence of parasites and bacteria is one of the biggest causes of losses in industrial and sport fish farming, and there is also the fact that the aquatic environment facilitates the reproduction, dispersal and survival of pathogens. Research into fish health is scarce, especially when it relates to native species.
Use of radiographs for detection of heart disease in dogs
90 radiographic films in right latero lateral position from mixed-breed and mixed-breed geriatric canines were analyzed to evaluate cardiomegaly by Buchanan's index (VHS) and left atrial enlargement by the new assessments to evaluate the left atrium (RLAD, Sum R top and LA roof).
Estimation of age in equines by their dentition
In ancient times, the horse was used to transport people, tools, weapons, and in some cases, even as a shield against Indian arrows. Nowadays there are several functions for the horse such as sport horses used for racing, rodeo, jumping, polo, riding, work, shooting, among others. In the events that use sport horses, they usually use the teeth as an indicator to calculate their ages. The age of the horse is also relevant in the purchase and sale of horses, however, most buyers or sellers do not know how to calculate their age. The objective of this project was to elaborate a manual for estimating the age of equines through their teeth. This manual aims to facilitate the determination of the age of horses with the sole purpose of serving as a tool for sporting events, producers, technicians and the general public.
Determination of helminth eggs in sludge

The objective of this study was to determine the presence of helminth eggs in samples of raw and stabilised sludge from the Wastewater Treatment Plant of the municipality of Coronel.
Prostatic changes in canine prostate diagnosed by ultrasound-guided cytology
Disorders of the prostate gland in adult canines include: Prostatic hyperplasia, prostatic cysts, inflammation and squamous neoplasia. These disorders are difficult to establish by physical examination and x-rays, therefore it is important to perform other tests to support the diagnosis such as ultrasound and fine needle aspiration prostate cytology (FNA), in order to prevent and treat these disorders in time. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and type of prostatic alterations in canines diagnosed by ultrasonography and ultrasound-guided FNA in 25 uncastrated canines. Ultrasonographic examination was performed followed by ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration of the prostate. The effect of age group and clinical signs was evaluated in relation to the type of prostatic alteration. The slides were stained with Wright stain and cell recognition was performed. Statistical association of age and clinical signs with the presence of any prostatic pathology was found (p

Therefore, this book is of high importance to guide professional aquatic veterinarians to control any possible infectious threats that might targets their cultured fish or shellfishes.
Decision-Making in Veterinary Practice
Decision-Making in Veterinary Practice The first-ever guide to rational decision-making in veterinary practice The practice of veterinary medicine entails crucial decisions about patient care on a daily basis. Whether to admit patients displaying symptoms, whether to pursue diagnoses or prioritize therapeutic trials, whether to advise overnight stays after routine surgery, whether to refer patients; the answers to questions like these can significantly influence patient outcomes and standards of care. However, veterinary clinicians are seldom trained to analyze their patterns of decision-making, relying instead on the existing culture of a practice to dictate their behaviors. This can lead to irrational decisions, institutional inertia, reluctance to comply with evidence-based medicine, and failure to optimize patient outcomes. Decision-Making in Veterinary Practice provides the first-ever dedicated guide to rational principles for decision-making in veterinary practice. Rooted in the study of normative ethics, it seeks to pose important questions and develop processes by which they can be answered. The book promises to transform the clinical performance of clinicians and practices that utilize it. Decision-Making in Veterinary Practice readers will also find: Discussions of key issues based on extensive clinical experience and evidence Detailed discussion of important decision determinants like time of day, patient weight, criteria for stopping treatment, and more Essential insights on clinical decision-making and clinical reasoning Decision-Making in Veterinary Practice is ideal for all veterinary practitioners, veterinary students, and clinical skills instructors."Decision Making in Veterinary Practice offers expert medical knowledge and an ethical sensibility to illuminate everyday veterinary issues like animal euthanasia, treatment of elderly patients, and moral stress. The result is an unparalleled practical road map to fulfilling the patient advocacy role of the veterinarian. I wish I had the benefit of Dr. Kipperman's wisdom when I was a young veterinarian. All veterinarians should read this terrific book--veterinary students, new graduates, and seasoned professionals." Simon Coghlan, PhD, BVScUniversity of MelbourneVictoria, Australia "Decision Making in Veterinary Practice is a detailed and thoughtful discussion of many key aspects of veterinary clinical decision making. Drawing from decades of personal experience as an internal medicine specialist and practice owner, Dr. Kipperman provides numerous realistic case examples to illustrate both the challenges facing clinicians and many potentially helpful strategies for improving decision- making and optimizing patient outcomes." Brennen McKenzie, MA, MSc, VMDAdobe Animal HospitalLos Altos, CA "Decision Making in Veterinary Practice is a helpful resource focused on how decisions are made, and how decision-making can be improved in the interests of veterinary patients. It contains many excellent case examples documenting positive and negative outcomes of decisions.
