Comparative Performances of Improved Poultry Varieties under Backyard Rearing System in Dhemaji District of Assam
No full textProductive and reproductive performances in terms of body weight, age at first egg, egg production, egg weight, fertility, hatchability and mortality of Vanaraja, Rainbow Rooster, Kamruapa and Desi chicken of Assam were studied under traditional backyard system of rearing. The Vanaraja, Rainbow Rooster and Kamruapa birds were given to rear under the frontline demonstration programmes of the Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Dhemaji to the women farmers of the district during 2020-21. The data on bird weights at different ages, egg weights, fertility, hatchability as well as mortality were collected and recorded and compared among the varieties. The data recorded from the study were analyzed as per standard statistical methods. The overall mean body weights were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in all the improved varieties than Desi chicken at different ages. There is also significant (P < 0.05) difference of age at first egg among Vanaraja (182.05±5.52 days), Rainbow Rooster (175.08±6.13 days), Kamruapa (163.06±5.52 days) and Desi chicken (203.31±3.31 days). The mean egg production values up to 32, 40, 52 and 72 weeks of age in the demonstrated varieties were significantly (P < 0.05) higher than the corresponding values of Desi birds. The mean egg weights of Vanaraja, Rainbow Rooster, Kamruapa at 32, 40 and 52 weeks of age were also significantly (P < 0.05) higher than Desi birds. However, no significant difference was observed in mortality rates among the four groups at different ages. There was also no significant (P < 0.05) difference in fertility and hatchability percent among the four genetic groups. It is concluded that Vanaraja, Rainbow Rooster and Kamruapa birds are adapted well under traditional backyard rearing system in agro-climatic conditions of Dhemaji district of Assam with adequate economic advantages over the Indigenous birds
Relationship between polymorphisms of leptin gene with growth, fertility and milk production traits in Sahiwal cows
No full text118-124The present study investigated the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in leptin gene with various economic traits (body weight at different age, first lactation reproduction and production traits) in Sahiwal cows. In order to detect genetic variants in intron 2 (422 bp), exon 2 (94 bp) and two regions of exon 3 (331 and 317 bp) of leptin, polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used and revealed two transitions at positions T93262901C of intron 2 and C93263979T of exon 3. General linear model (GLM) analysis revealed significant association of T93262901C SNP with weight at first service (WFS), weight at first calving (WFC), first service period (FSP), first calving interval (FCI) and FL305DMY while SNP C93263979T was found to be significantly associated with birth weight (wt), 30 months wt, AFS and AFC. The investigation indicated that heterozygous genotype had a trend for better production with optimum growth and reproduction as compared to homozygote. The present study supports that SNP in leptin gene can be used as an aid to selection for improving different economic traits in Sahiwal cows
Evaluation and comparison of immune responsiveness to sheep red blood cells, PHA-P and IBDV vaccine in divergent stocks of chicken
No full textA total of 90 birds comprising two native breeds viz. Aseel and Kadaknath and one synthetic broiler stock i.e. IBL-80 were utilized to evaluate and compare antibody response to Sheep Red Blood Cells by haemagglutination test at 0, 5 and 10 days post primary inoculation, to study in vivo cell mediated immune response to mitogen Phytohaemagglutinin (PHA-P) and to evaluate immune responsiveness to IBDV vaccine. The presence of natural antibodies against SRBC was evident in all the genetic groups. All groups showed an increase in HA titre upto 10 days post immunization. The HA titre on 10 day was significantly higher in Aseel (1.88±0.10) followed by IBL-80 (1.13±0.05) and Kadaknath (1.09±0.06). However, the differences among Kadaknath and IBL-80 at day 10 PPI were failed to attain statistical significance. The in vivo cell mediated response to mitogen was highest in Aseel (0.68 mm) followed by IBL-80 (0.59 mm) and Kadaknath (0.43 mm).There was significant difference between the layer breeds for response to phytoheamagglutinin but IBL-80 was not significantly differ from both Aseel and Kadaknath. The titre values for IBDV were lowest before immunization and got increased during 7, 14, 21 DPI. At 14 DPI the titre value were significantly different in all the breeds in which Aseel exhibited the highest titre value (2.96±0.04) followed by IBL-80 (2.77±0.09) and Kadaknath (2.64±0.06). It was found that at 21 DPI antibody response was highest in all the breeds, however differences in titre value at 21 DPI in different breeds were not significantly different.</jats:p

No full textNot AvailableHair or bristle is one of the key by-products of humane slaughter of pigs. In
the present study, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used
for examining protein secondary structure of hair fier from diffrent breeds
of pigs (Ghungroo, Ninag Megha, Hampshire, and Duroc). Prominent amide
I (1635–1648 cm−1 ) and amide II (1517–1528 cm −1 ) bands could be observed
in the spectra. Diffrences in presence/absence of certain FTIR bands
between breeds suggests inflence of genetic background in the structure
of hair fier. Deconvolution resolved secondary structure of protein in amide
I region of spectra into corresponding α-helix (38.0 ± 2.9%), β-sheets
(32.2 ± 2.0%), β-turns (19.4 ± 3.1%) and unorganized structural components
(10.3 ± 2.5%). Heating of fiers from 80°C to 120°C resulted in changes in
amide regions and α-helix to β-sheet ratio of amide I band. Further, correlations were calculated between area under the curve of various FTIR bands
and tensile properties of the fier. Area of FTIR band at 1635 cm −1 was
positively correlated with tenacity, initial modulus, extensibility, and work of
rupture (r = 0.30 to 0.39). In nutshell, the study reveals subtle diffrences in
secondary structure of hair with respect to breed or temperature treatment
and suggests relation between FTIR spectral characteristics and tensile
properties.Indian Council of Agricultural Researc

No full textNot AvailablePig is considered as one of the major source of livelihood and source of animal protein for the rural poor. The pig sector has enormous potential to upscale the livelihood status of rural masses of the country. Good feed conversion efficiency, shorter generation interval and relatively smaller space requirement are the major attractions for farmers to begin pig rearing. In the backyard farming systems mainly farmers are practicing traditional way of pig rearing. Scientific know-how in pig husbandry is essential for the farmers for increased profit from the pig farming. The ICAR- National Research Centre on pig in Guwahati at Rani was established in the year 2002 to act as a repository of information on pig production and health and to undertake research and transfer the evolved technologies to the client groups. The institute also conduct frequent training programmes on scientific pig farming for farmers, entrepreneurs and government officers. By understanding and adopting these scientific practices, the income from pig farming can be increased significantly. The institute has also taken many steps for preserving the indigenous germplasm of pigs.Not Availabl
Comparative muscle transcriptome of Mali and Hampshire breeds of pigs: a preliminary study
No full textMuscle development is an important priority of pig breeding programs. There is a considerable variation in muscularity between the breeds, but the regulation mechanisms of genes underlying myogenesis are still unclear. Transcriptome data from two breeds of pigs with divergent muscularity (Mali and Hampshire) were integrated with histology, immunofluorescence and meat yield to identify differences in myogenesis during the early growth phase. The muscle transcriptomics analysis revealed 17,721 common, 1413 and 1115 unique transcripts to Hampshire and Mali, respectively. This study identified 908 differentially expressed genes (p 2FC > ±1) in the muscle samples, of which 550 were upregulated and 358 were downregulated in Hampshire pigs, indicating differences in physiological process related to muscle function and development. Expression of genes related to myoblast fusion (MYMK), skeletal muscle satellite cell proliferation (ANGPT1, CDON) and growth factors (HGF, IGF1, IGF2) were higher in Hampshire than Mali, even though transcript levels of several other myogenesis-related genes (MYF6, MYOG, MSTN) were similar. The number of fibers per fascicle and the expression of myogenic marker proteins (MYOD1, MYOG and PAX7) were more in Hampshire as compared to Mali breed of pig, supporting results of transcriptome studies. The results suggest that differences in muscularity between breeds could be related to the regulation of myoblast fusion and myogenic activities. The present study will help to identify genes that could be explored for their utility in the selection of animals with different muscularities.</p
