Research
Projects Completed:
1. Neurophysiological studies on Ruminant Stomach with
reference to motility and passage of feed
2. Effect of Diet on microbial population in rumen of cattle and
buffalo
3. Studies on gastric secretary mechanism in buffalo
4. Studies on caecal microflora in ruminants
5. Studies on muzzle gland and role in mineral metabolism and reproduction in
buffaloes and cattle
6. Studies on progesterone levels in the milk of buffaloes and cows
7. Production of monoclonal antibodies against reproductive hormones
8. Evaluation of locally available feeds & fodders etc
9. Improvement of feed resources and nutrient utilization in raising animal
production.
10. Improvement of feed resources and nutrient
utilization in raising animal production
Salient
Achievements:
1. Lactation
Physiology: A kit for successful induction of normal reproductive
cyclicity, pregnancy and lactation has been developed for non-productive
cattle and buffaloes using natural or synthetic reproductive steroids. The
technology has been used extensively at University Farm and by field
veterinarians.
2. Endocrinology:
Radio-immunoassay technique for steroid hormones estimation in plasma and
milk samples has been developed. Milk samples can be adequately used in place
of plasma for studying steroid hormone status in lactating animals and
correlating with reproductive disorders.
3. Neurophysiology:
This department is the first in whole India to develop a stereotaxic atlas
for brain centers controlling rumino-reticular motility located in medulla
oblongata about 1 mm caudad and 9 mm cephalad to the obex in the buffalo
calves which is not possible without the atlas. This work receives
International Recognition as it is quoted in a Text Book “Dukes” Physiology
of Domestic Animal which is referred by all students of Veterinary Sciences
throughout the World.
4. Clinical
Physiology: Renal function tests have been performed first time in
female buffalo calves showing glomerular filtration rates and renal plasma
flow. Exogenous creatinine clearance was found to be better index for GFR
than its endogenous clearance in buffaloes. Buffalo calves recorded lower values of
renal clearances of PAH, inulin and creatinine compared to goats on body
weight basis.
5. Digestive Physiology: This
Department was one of the first Departments in this country which had isolated,
purified and classified as many as 28 species of bacteria in the rumen of
cattle and buffaloes.
6. Production Physiology: Treatment with epinephrine alone and
propanol alone reduced the egg production in birds to the extent of 21-27%
and 10-13% respectively, but when propanolol given to birds pretreated with
epinephrine, the fall in egg production was lower. Supplementation of phytase
in broiler and layer ration found to improve growth, feed conversion
efficiency and egg production.
7. Growth Physiology:
Virginiamycin (2.0g/100kg feed) produced best growth and feed conversion
ratio with significant improvement in protein content in carcass of broilers.
Leptaden (2 g/kg feed) promoted weight gain and egg quality in layers. Liv-52
decreased age at first laying & increased number of eggs laid. Geriforte
(0.26 g/kg feed) increased feed utilization and improved meat quality in
broilers.
