For the study, two villages from 7 taluka of three districts of North Gujarat region were selected having large number of tribal farmers. Fifteen respondents were selected from each village,...

Rabbit rearing across the Indian subcontinent is growing rapidly. Growth traits are important parameters on which rabbits are being evaluated. Mathematical models have been tried to establish a relationship between body weight and time. Data spread over six years on the weekly body weight of Soviet Chinchilla and White Giant rabbits were collected...

The present investigation included the records of 294 Kankrej cows, sired by 66 sires spread over a period of 20 years (1996 to 2015) maintained at Livestock Research Station, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat. The effects of genetic and non genetic factors on performance traits (Daily Milk Yield, 305 D...

Present study was conducted on 233 records of calving of Kankrej cows maintained at Livestock Research Station of the institute to analyze the effects of non-genetic factors on gestation length (GL) and calf birth weight (BW). The least squares mean with the standard error of gestation length and calf birth weight were 287.020±0.946 days and 21.343...

The co-management concept has been echoed in scientific literature for over two decades. Emphasis has been tailored towards an understanding of structural and functional issues linked to its application and the outcomes thereof. However, a crucial aspect which still begs for scientific and policy edification, concerns the motivational drivers of ac...

The data on mortality of White Giant and Soviet Chinchilla rabbit kits spread over four years (2014 to 2017) maintained at organized farm, was analyzed. All kits were reared in the cages under standard management practices and weaned at the age of 28 days. The overall annual mortality rate was observed 29.85% for kits up to six months of age during...

Background: Pneumothorax is an abnormal collection of air in the pleural space that causes an uncoupling of the lung from the chest wall. It may be spontaneous or traumatic. The spontaneous pneumothorax is usually the result of rupture of superficial emphysematous bullae and may occur in apparently healthy persons or in association with chronic pul...

Background: Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme found in nearly all living cells. LDH catalyses the conversion of lactate to pyruvic acid and back. The aim of the present study was to determine lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level as an indicator of liver, muscular or cancer abnormalities in patients of more than 40 years of age.Methods: Two hund...

This studydescribes the light microscopic, histochemical and electron-microscopic findings of 10 acinic cell carcinomas from the major and mior salivery glands. Ultrastructually, four cell types were identified: secretory acinar cells, intercalated duct-like cells, pluripotential reserve/stem cells and myoepithelial cells. This cellular composition...
