Livestock play a vital role in rural economy
of our country. Apart from providing food
products like milk, egg and meat, livestock
sector also generates productive employment
and valuable supplementary income to the rural
households, majority of whom are small and
marginal farmers and landless labourers. This
sector contributes many other socio-economic
spin-offs like slowdown of rural-urban migration
and empowerment of rural women. This sector
also has strong backward and forward linkages
which in turn promote livestock based food
processing and leather industries that help in
export earnings. Livestock sector contributes
nearly 3.26 per cent of total GDP of our country
(` 1702 billion). Tamil Nadu, the southern most
state of India is showing an impressive growth in
livestock production. The gross value of output
from livestock in the state is ` 20,940 crore in the
year 2009-10 which contributes 2.74 per cent of
Gross State Domestic Product and 36.45 per cent
of agriculture and allied sector output. The state
contributes 18.13 per cent of egg, 11.48 per cent
of meat and 5.13 per cent of milk production and
ranks second, fourth and tenth position in the
country respectively. The per capita availability
of milk in Tamil Nadu is 237g per day and egg
is 162 no. per year which is slightly lower than
the ICMR recommendation of 250g of milk per
day and 180 no. of eggs per annum.
The fisheries sector has a potential production
of 4.50 lakh tonnes which is aimed to be achieved
during the 12th five year plan period. The total
coastal length of Tamilnadu spreading 1,076 km
comprises of 13 coastal districts with 591 fishing
villages with a marine fisherfolk population of
8.92lakh. The inland fishery resources are about
3.71 lakh ha with a production of 1.71lakh tones
in 2010-2011. The inland systems comprise major
reservoirs, irrigation tanks, seasonal ponds,
farms, rivers, streams and canals.
Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences
University has pledged itself to educate the
farmers by training them on scientific rearing
of cattle, sheep and goat, rabbit, and desi fowl,
clean milk production, disease management in
cattle and sheep, preparation of value added
milk, meat, egg and fishery products through
their extension outlets and thereby improve the
socio-economic status of the farming community.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Animal Husbandry sector plays a vital role
in providing subsidiary employment to ruralfolk
and guaranteed household income to landless
agricultural labourers, small and marginal farmers.
Livestock provides economic stability to the poor
masses and quality animal protein to ever increasing
human population in the form of milk, eggs, meat
and value added products. For generations, livestock
products have been known to be a pathway for income
generation by the poor. Livestock, poultry and fisheries
sectors are interoven with and becoming increasingly
important in the growth of agriculture in developing
economies. Livestock has been growing faster than any
other agricultural sub-sector and it is foreseen by 2020,
the livestock will account for more than half of the total
global agricultural output in economic terms. Further,
to reach the growth rate of 4 per cent in the agriculture
sector as envisaged in the XI plan, the growth in
livestock and other allied sectors has to be hastened.
To attain this, various technological interventions
are introduced in these sectors in the country and in
Tamil Nadu as well which paved way for significant
improvement in production, productivity and per
capita availability of livestock products. Growth in
human population, increased urbanisation, rising
domestic incomes and changing lifestyles have led to
increased demand for livestock products.

could detect 83% and 60% of pre-clinical cases of
JD and LAM-ELISA was found to be 23% more
sensitive than the commercial ELISA kit.
 Rapid dot test for diagnosis of cystic echinococcosis
in man
About 92 serum samples collected from human
patients suspected for hydatidosis by imaging
methods were tested with Dip disc ELISA and
counter immuno-electrophoresis. Dip disc ELISA
showed positivity in 6 samples, whereas Counter
immuno-electrophoresis showed positivity in 3
samples. Novel Dip disc ELISA was a modified
form of Dot ELISA, easy to perform with high
sensitivity and specificity, to diagnose CE in man
without any high cost equipment.
 L y m p h o v a s c u l a r i n v a s i o n a n d o x i d a n t -
antioxidant profile in carcinomas of dogs
The study on skin tumours, lymphovascular
invasion and oxidant-antoxidant profile in dog
carcinomas revealed that the high Microvessel
Density in carcinomas indicated high angiogenesis.
Lymphangiogenesis was comparatively lower than
the angiogenesis.
 Hepatoprotective effect of amirthakaraisal in
pathology of avian aflatoxicosis
Hepatoprotective effect of amirthakaraisal in
aflatoxicosis affected chicken was proved. The
hepatoprotective effect of amirthakaraisal in poultry
will reduce expenditure of poultry farmers due
to the low price of this product compared to the
commercially available hepatoprotectants.
 Exploration of herbs to alleviate the adverse effects
of indiscriminate use of antibacterial drugs in
poultry
Co-administration of Ocimum sanctum and Withania
somnifera along with gentamicin and enrofloxacin,
respectively reduced the intensity of adverse effects
of the antibacterials.
 Assessment of health status in free-ranging
elephants of Tamil Nadu state
Examination of 150 dung samples from elephant
revealed evidences of Strongyles, Strongyloides
sp., Anoplocephala sp. and mixed parasitic
conditions in samples from free ranged elephants.
Strongyles were encountered in case of captive
elephants. Fifty dung samples of co-grazing
cattle revealed evidences of Toxocara sp., oocysts
of Eimeria sp., Strongyloides sp., Strongyles and
Paramphistomum sp.
 Economic and Public Health Impact of Carrier
State in Bovine Leptospirosis
Of the 40 (22 cows + 18 bulls) urine samples tested
by PCR, two (5 per cent) were found to be positive
for leptospires. The detection of leptospires in the
urine of carriers was successfully accomplished
by PCR. On comparison of Dark field microscopy
(DFM) and PCR, PCR was found to be sensitive
in detecting leptospires in two of the 40 urine
samples.
2.2.2 Animal Production
 Homestead Rabbit Farming to Improve the
Livelihood of Rural Women SHGs in Tamil Nadu
Fifty three women beneficiaries from Thiruvallur
district were trained on rabbit farming. Twenty
two rabbit units (one male + five females) were
established in order to popularize rabbit meat.
Rabbit farming practices and awareness on rabbit
meat were popularized among rural women to
earn additional income.
 Development of shelf stable novel buffalo meat
extruded product
Buffalo meat extruded products prepared using rice
flour and corn flour were found to be superior and
those products had shown good keeping quality up
to a period of three months at ambient temperature.
These two products can be recommended for the
development of shelf stable novel buffalo meat
extruded products.
 Effect of lactic acid treatment and vacuum
packaging on quality and shelf life of poultry

microbiological and molecular methods
Penaeus vannamei is a newly introduced exotic
species of shrimp in India. An attempt was made
in this project to screen for the selected bacterial
and viral pathogens infecting this species of
shrimp.
 Isolation and Identification of Edwardsiella sp
from fishes
Edwardsiella is bacterial pathogen infecting fishes.
In this project, an attempt was made to isolate this
bacterial pathogen from infected fishes collected
from the farms and hatcheries.
 Expression of Toll-like Receptor 2 (TLR 2) and
Toll-like Receptor 4 (TLR 4) in fish treated with
probiotics
Toll-like Receptors are involved in recognition of
pathogens infecting cultured fishes. This project
was carried out with an objective to know the
modulation in the expressions of TLR2 and TLR4
when induced with beneficial probiotics bacteria.
Immunomodulation was observed in fishes when
induced with probiotics.
 Analysis of processed sea foods of export
importance for compliance with quality standards

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS
Animal Biotechnology
Augmentation of immune responses to avian vaccines
using nanoparticles
Nanoparticles are used not only for targeted
delivery of drugs but also to augment the immune
response. Calcium phosphate (CaP) nanoparticles
that are easy to generate with the commonly available
salts have been prepared and coupled to commonly
used vaccines to augment the immune response
in chickens. CaP has been coupled to Newcastle
disease vaccine to develop a Nano NDV vaccine.
In addition, an immunoadjuvant (using CpG) or
biomarker coupled nano-NDV vaccine has also been
developed. The coupled vaccine has been attempted
for a transcutaneous delivery. The efficiency of the
vaccine has been tested based on their differential
cytokine induction following vaccination. The use of
the biomarker coupled nano-NDV vaccine would also
help in immunological branding.
Differentiation of infected and vaccinated chickens
using protein biomarkers
To generate an unique biomarker for vaccine
applications in chickens, five different approaches were
used in this study, namely,
1. Use of a purified enhanced green fluorescent
protein (EGFP) as a biomarker expressed from
a prokaryotic vector (100ug/bird) with or with
coupling to CaP nano particle was found to
be useful in the early phases after vaccination
(1-5 weeks)
2. A DNA vector carrying the EGFP DNA as a
biomarker could serve as a potential DNA
biomarker in chickens when delivered coupled to
CaP by transcutaneous route (TC). This approach
would help in differentiation of vaccinated and
infected animals (DIVA) in the later stages of
vaccination (3 – 5 weeks).
3. A synthetic peptide as a biomarker RBM4 produced
100% positivity from 3 - 10 weeks PI but needed
a booster dose given at 3 weeks post-primary
inoculation. The preferred route of delivery of the
biomarker was subcutaneous (SC) either with or
without coupling to CaP
4. A novel and assembled gene with unique epitopes
from a variety of sources were ‘tailored’ together
with linker amino acids to be used as a novel
synthetic gene (WWRFEP) as a DNA biomarker
cloned in a DNA vector and given at the rate of
100 µg per bird in layer chickens by TC route.
Seroconversion could be observed in 50-100%
from 3 weeks until 10 weeks PI. This indicated
that the novel biomarker gene was expressed and
presented to the chicken immune system.
5. Purified WWRFEP as a protein biomarker
expressed from a prokaryotic vector. The expressed
protein was electroeluted from polyacrylamide
gels band and coupled to CaP nanoparticles and
delivered TC @ 100 µg per bird. The antibody
response to the epitopes was 33-100% from 2-5
weeks PI.
All the five tested vaccine biomarkers did
not interfere when given with Newcastle disease
virus (NDV) vaccine as observed by the induced
haemagglutination inhibition (HI) responses in the
vaccinated chickens. Thus a unique synthetic gene
in a eukaryotic plasmid, pcDNA-WWRFEP may be
used for DIVA in chickens by delivering it TC in
CaP nanoshells.
Establishment of buffalo embryonic stem cell lines
Embryonic stem cells and gene mediated
transferred stem cells can be used for production of
transgenic and cloned animals. Buffalo embryonic
stem cell lines were established from in-vitro produced
buffalo embryos.
 Supplementation of cysteamine to the maturation
medium and co-culture with buffalo oviduct
epithelial cells (BOEC) was effective for increased
cleavage rate in in-vitro produced buffalo embryos.
 Expression of marker genes such as Oct-4, Nanog
and Sox-2 was demonstrated from the immature
and mature oocytes as well as in different stages
of pre-implantation buffalo embryos.
 Buffalo embryo fibroblast feeder (BEFF) cells
prepared from tissue biopsy of 60 days old

22  Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University
 Recombinant leptospiral vaccine (using the LiPL41
antigen) offered 75 % protection on challenge studies
in hamsters and no sublethal infection were observed.
On the other hand, commercial vaccine gave 87.5 %
protection on challenge studies in hamsters and mild
sublethal infection was observed on histopathological
examination. Recombinant vaccine was found to be
safer one. The cross reaction against recombinant and
whole cell antigens of leptospira were verified against
different serovars of leptospira using ELISA and latex
agglutination test. Statistically significant level of
cross reaction noticed against recombinant antigens.
Recombinant proteins will be used as vaccine against
leptospira in dogs.
Development of Loop mediated Isothermal
Amplification for rapid detection of avian viruses
LAMP is a modification of PCR which uses a strand
displacement enzyme BstI polymerase and enables the
technique to be carried out in laboratories without a
PCR machine.
• A LAMP method targeting the Meq gene of
Marek’s disease virus (MDV) has been developed
which was highly sensitive and specific in detecting
genome. The sample needed for this test would be
the feather follicles and is capable of detecting as
early as 7th day post infection to 49th day of post
infection. The reagents needed for this test has
been prepared as a mix which is stable for 90 days
LAMP to detect N gene of IB viral genome
for field samples
at -20ºC and positivity can be visualized by naked
eye without the use an UV transilluminator.
• A RT-LAMP method was developedd for diagnosis
of infectious bronchitis in chicken targeting the
Nucleoprotein, Spike (S2) and Matrix (M) gene.
The RT-LAMP was 10 times more sensitive for
IBV-M gene and 100 times more sensitive for IBV-N
and S2 genes when compared to the regular PCR.
In embryonated chicken eggs infected with the
vaccine virus or field isolate the developed LAMP
could detect the viral genome in allantoic fluids as
early as 6 hours of inoculation whereas RT-PCR
could detect after 24 hours of inoculation. Both RT-
PCR and RT-LAMP showed specific amplification
with infectious bronchitis viral genome but not
with other avian respiratory pathogens such
as Newcastle disease virus, avian pathogenic
Escherichia coli and Mycoplasma gallisepticum.
RT-LAMP reaction products were detected by
the addition of propidium iodide stain. Bright
fluorescence under UV-illumination could be seen
for positive reaction whereas no fluorescence for
the negative reaction. The developed RT-LAMP to
detect IB viral genome is simple, rapid, sensitive
and specific; it can be a useful diagnostic tool for
detection of IB in chicken in field conditions.
Mesenchymal stem cells and their potential
applications
Stem cells are a population of cells possessing self-
renewal capacity, long-term viability and multilineage
potential. MSCs differentiate into adipocytes,
chondrocytes, osteoblasts and myoblasts in vitro
and undergo differentiation in vivo, making these stem
cells promising candidates for mesodermal defect
repair and disease management.
• The technique for isolation of ovine fetal bone
marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)
has been developed. These derived MSCs have
been characterized by cellular, immunocytological,
genomic and proteomic techniques. The expression
of stem cell specific genes in undifferentiated and
differentiated mesenchymal stem cells was also
confirmed by RT PCR. The tissue repair potential
was confirmed via in-vivo by CAM angiogenic
assay and mice model induced burn wound study.
The granulation tissues collected during different
days on real time PCR analysis found to show
an elevated expression of VECF gene transcripts
in treated mice. Biochemical analysis of collagen
estimation showed an optimum level of collagen
Annual Report 2010-2011  23
 in treated granulation tissue which was required
for the scareless healing to occur.
• Isolation and characterization of buffalo adipose
tissue derived mesencymal stem cells (AD MSCs)
were carried out. Subcutaneous adipose tissue
yielded comparatively higher number of stem cells
than from omentum and bone regions. Digestion
of buffalo adipose tissue with cocktail enzyme
mixture for 2 hours yielded optimum number
of stem cells. 1 gram of adipose tissue yielded
about 4.94 ± 0.65 X 105 cell concentration. Buffalo
ADSCs could be induced to differentiate into
adipogenic, osteogenic and chondrogenic lineages.
Expression of specific marker genes – PPAR γ in
adipogenic, osteopontin in osteogenic and collagen
II in chondrogenic differentiated lineages were
confirmed in buffalo ADSCs by RT PCR. Similar
studies have not been reported earlier in buffaloes.
Molecular analysis of pathotype specific variations
in surface glycoprotein genes of velogenic and
lentogenic Newcastle disease virus isolates
Whole genome sequencing of two Newcastle
disease virus isolates, their phylogenetic relationship
with other global isolates, their genome details,
cloning and expression of fusion and haemagglutinin-
neuraminidase protein genes and structural analysis of
these proteins were studied. Whole genome of NDV-2
and NDV-4 was found to be 15,186 nt long (GenBank
accession numbers GU187941 and HM357251). In
both the isolates, the genome had six different genes in
the order of 3’ –leader-NP-P/V/W-M-F-HN-L-trailer
5’. The length of the 3’ leader and 5’ trailer of NDV
-2 and NDV -4 were 55 nt and 114 nt respectively.
Phylogenetic analysis and genotyping based on the
fusion protein gene placed NDV-2 in genotype IV
and NDV-4 as genotype II. Structural analysis of F
protein revealed a trimer, with distinct head, neck and
stalk regions. HN protein contained six β-sheet motifs
along with four helices. Three dimensional locations
of variable amino acids in the conformational epitopes
and linear epitopes in HN protein revealed that NDV-
2 had five amino acid changes in the conformational
epitopes. NDV-4 had one amino acid change in the
linear epitope.
Cloning and expression of fusion protein gene of
Newcastle disease virus in eukaryotic expression
system
Cloning and expression of the fusion protein
gene of Newcastle disease virus (2K3) in eukaryotic
expression system was carried out. The Newcastle
disease virus (2K3) isolate from pigeon was
24  Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University
propagated in embryonated chicken eggs and
the infected allantoic fluid was collected for RNA
isolation. The fusion protein gene was cloned
in pTriEx eukaryotic expression plasmid. The
expressed protein of 55kDa was obtained with
the overnight induced cultures which further
reacted with NDV antiserum raised in rabbits
by immunoblot analysis showing a protein with
molecular weight of 55 kDa. The expression of the
fusion protein upon transfection of Vero cells was
confirmed by immunofluresebnce assay (IFA).
The recombinant fusion protein could be further
studied for its potential in immunodiagnostics and
recombinant vaccines by conducting in vivo trials.
Differential diagnosis of avian oncogenic viruses
using molecular techniques
The avian oncogenic viruses include one
herpesvirus, the Marek’s disease virus (MDV), and
three retroviruses; the reticuloendotheliosis virus
(REV), avian leukosis virus (ALV) and avian leukosis
virus subgroup J (ALV-J). The suspected samples for
avian oncogenic viruses were collected from in and
around Namakkal, Tamil Nadu. The histopathology
positive tissue sections were identified and further
confirmed by immunohistochemistry using virus
specific antibodies. The PCR appears to be a method
of choice for rapid and accurate diagnosis of avian
oncogenic viruses. The specificity of the primers
for MDV (Meq gene – 1060 bp), ALV (pol flanked
region – 295-326 bp) and REV (LTR – 291 bp) were
checked by using the template DNA extracted from
immunohistochemistry positive tissue sections and
tissues. Sensitivity of these primers was checked
by using different dilutions of positive tissue DNA
sample. A total of 203 suspected samples were
screened for MDV, ALV and REV by PCR. The
immunohistochemistry positive tissue DNA samples
and uninfected tissue DNA samples were used as
positive and negative controls respectively. Out
of 203 samples screened, the numbers of positive
samples were 8 for MDV; 26 for ALV subgroups
A-E; 20 for REV; 5 for ALV+REV and one for
MDV+ALV+REV. ALV and REV positive samples
were further confirmed by ALV subgroup specific
PCR and REV envelope gene specific PCR. The
results of ALV subgroup specific PCR indicated the
positivity of ALV subgroups B, D and E. No samples
were positive for ALV-J. The viruses (MDV, ALV
and REV) were confirmed by isolation in a suitable
cell culture system and confirmed by virus specific
PCR or ELISA using virus specific antibodies and
virus specific PCR. A multiplex PCR assay was also

ALV and REV in chickens DNA were designed.
Cloning and expression of Meq gene of Marek’s
disease virus
Cloning and expression of the Meq gene of
Marek’s disease virus was carried out in a mammalian
expression system. The amplified Meq gene was cloned
in pTriEx 1.1 Neo expression vector. The expression
of the Meq gene in HEK 293 cells was achieved by
transfection of the recombinant plasmid using a
transfection reagent. The expressed protein was
analyzed in SDS-PAGE and the specificity was checked
by western blot analysis using MDV polyclonal serum.
Development of recombinant glycoprotein B (gB)-
based serodiagnostic assays for Marek’s disease virus
Glycoprotein B (gB) is one of the immunodominant
Marek’s disease virus (MDV) antigens essential for
infectivity and is highly conserved among herpes
viruses. Hence, the present study was carried out to
express and employ recombinant gB for developing
sero-diagnostic assays. Recombinant gB fusion protein
was expressed, purified and confirmed by sodium
dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis
and immunoblotting. The purified recombinant protein
was used in a gB-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent
assay (ELISA) and latex agglutination test (LAT) for
serodiagnosis of MDV-1 infection. Totally, 136 sera
samples were screened by ELISA and 36 samples were
screened by LAT and the χ2 value was 0.89 and kappa
value was 0.0947.
Cloning and sequencing of full-length lignin
peroxidase gene from Phanerochaete chrysosporium
The complex nature of the plant matrix is due to
polymers, cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Lignin
forms the outer covering which needs to be opened
to expose the cellulose and hemicellulose for efficient
digestion by other microbial enzymes to result in
economical usage of the plant polysaccharides as
animal feed. For efficient break down of the plant
polysaccharide matrix lignin degrading enzymes
are very much essential in addition to the battery
of endo- and exo-acting glycosyl hydrolases. The
white-rot fungi Phanerochaete chrysosporium have been
characterized to be one of the efficient lignin degrader
so far characterized. Lignin peroxidases (LiP) are
known to exist in 10 different isoform with the H8
being the major isoform. In this study the full-length
LiP-H8 gene has been cloned in in to laboratory strains
of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The ability of the yeast
strain to express the lignin peroxidase and its activity
was determined using decolourization assay using
methylene blue.
Cloning and expression of Erns gene of classical
swine fever virus in prokaryotic system
Classical swine fever (CSF) is the economically
most important viral infectious disease of domestic pigs
caused by Classical Swine fever virus (CSFV). Hence
in an outbreak situation, regular sero-monitoring,
it’s very difficult to differentiate the infected animals
from vaccinated individuals (DIVA). To distinguish
individuals vaccinated with E2 marker vaccine from
infected animals the second discriminatory diagnostics
is essential which can be achieved by using the Erns
glycoprotein which is a second immuno-dominant
in CSFV. In this study, the membrane glycoprotein
Erns of CSFV was successfully cloned and expressed.
However, the recombinant Erns protein is detected
under non-denaturing conditions in 12% PAGE with
both the monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies against
CSFV showed a single band of ~ 54 kDa dimerised
recombinant protein retaining its conformational
epitope.
In-silico study of anticancerous effects of Momordica
charantia
Momordin is the component obtained from
Momordica charantia (bitter gourd). It is a common
food in Indian cusine and is also used as a medicine
to treat a wide array of diseases. The trypin inhibitors
protein 3D model was generated based on the crystal
structure of Cucurbita maxima Trypsin Inhibitor V using
MODELLER software. The final model was obtained
and further assessed by Ramachandran plot analysis,
which showed that the model was reliable because 95.5%
amino acids were in the favored region. Hex docking
study revealed that trypsin inhibitor and momordin
can be mainly used in the treatment of cancer. Docking
was also done with Discovery Studio with one receptor
protein. In-vivo study is needed to prove the interaction

between momordin and cancer. This study proves
that the modern pharmaceutical research using the
powerful tools of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics
and synthetic and combinatorial chemistry could learn
a lot from the historical record of using natural products
against diseases.
Evaluation of antibacterial potential of Pseudomonas
bacteriophage endolysin (ply) against cell wall
peptidoglycan – the identification of novel enzybiotic
The Pseudomonas bacterial species has been
associated with many human as well as animal
disease conditions over the past decade. The species
is highly resistant to many deleterious agents, and,
it possesses a pattern of metabolism quite different
from that of the Enterobacteriaceae. As Pseudomonas
is frequently lysogenic, bacteriophages are available
as a concomitant genetic tool. The diseases caused by
Pseudomonas species are varied and many of them are
even lethal. The Pseudomonas species are gram negative
strains and the peptidoglycan of these gram negative
species are resistant to a wide range of antibiotics. This
resistance to antibiotics makes them highly contagious.
Recent studies shows endolysins, an enzyme secreted
by Pseudomonas phages are found to be effective
against Pseudomonas. This opens a new hemisphere
for the treatment against the Pseudomonas species. The
endolysins lyse the peptidoglycan of Pseudomonas
species rendering them to lyse. This work focuses on
analyzing a group of endolysins and studying how
they interact with the peptidoglycan of Pseudomonas
and possibly finding out the most effective endolysin.
The endolysins can be then recommended to be used as
enzybiotics which can be an effective treatment against
Pseudomonas without creating any bacterial resistance
In-silico molecular interaction study of
phytochemicals against breast cancer anti-estrogen
resistance protein-3 (BCAR-3)
Breast cancer causing proteins are called BRCA1,
HER2, BRCA2, STAT-3, BCAR1, BCAR2 and BCAR3.
Anti-estrogens such as tamoxifen are widely used
to treat estrogen receptor–positive breast tumors.
Resistance to tamoxifen develops either de novo or
develops over time in a large proportion of these
tumors. One molecule that has been implicated in
tamoxifen resistance, breast cancer anti-estrogen
resistance-3 (BCAR3), has also been shown to regulate
migration of fibroblasts. Plant derived natural
compounds have played an important role in the
treatment of cancer as useful anti-cancer agents. These
26  Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University
include sulforaphane, ajoene, Alliin, glutathione, allicin,
and cyclophosphamide. Artemisinine, aspirin protein-
ligand docking is the process of computationally
predecting the placement and binding affinity of a
small organic molecule in the binding pocket of a
protein for the purpose of drug discovery. The aim of
protein-ligand is to predict and rank the structure(s)
between a given ligand and a target protein of known
3D structure. Most popular methods used today to
predict protein-ligand docking is Accelrys Discovery
Studio. The best docking score was noted for 17
structures. Out of 17 drugs sulforaphane and ajoene
gave the best docking score for breast cancer.
In-silico molecular interaction study of
phytochemicals against human papillomavirus E7
protein
In-silico molecular interaction study between
cervical cancer protein and herbal drugs was done. The
molecular docking process was performed between E7
protein and phytochemicals from natural herbs. The
result shows the best stabilized ligand with the protein
molecule phosphotidyl choline, a phytochemical
present in Goldenseal was best docked with the protein
which has a Dock score of 117.251. This has the highest
value and hence this molecule posses maximum
stabilization than the rest docked molecules. This stable
complex can be used as a model for the treatment of
cervical cancer and carry out research purposes.
Molecular interaction study on Staphylococcus phage
endolysin and bacterial cell wall peptidoglycon to
identify a novel enzybiotic against mastitis
Mastitis is an inflammation of mammary gland
and it is manifested as clinical or sub-clinical or
chronic infection of the udder tissue in cow. This is
the most common bacterial disease in dairy cattle
which is mainly caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
The Staphylococcal phage encoded endolysin
enzyme act as an enzymatic antimicrobial agent in
the treatment of staphylococcal infections by the
breakdown of bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan. Ten
different staphylococcus phage endolysin protein
sequences have been retrieved from NCBI and
modelling was performed by using Modeller 9v7
and I-TASSER server. To identify the interaction
between the phage endolysins and the bacterial cell
wall peptidoglycan, docking was done using Hex 5.1,
Molegro Virtual Docker and Discovery Studio 2.5.
Also the interaction of the phage endolysins with
the cell wall synthesizing proteins of Staphylococcus
aureus was done using ZDOCK automated server.

analysis were studied in thymus of broiler chicken
of different age groups. In the flow cytometric study,
the percentage of CD3+ T cells was the highest at six
week-old birds and least in four week-old birds. The
mean percentage of CD4+ T-cells was the highest in
day-old birds when compared to other age group
birds. In two week-old, decrease in the mean value
of CD4+ T-cells was recorded. The mean percentage
of CD8+ T-cells was the highest at four week-old
birds, while two week-old birds showed least mean
value of the same.
Molecular detection of pathogenic leptospires from
animal and environmental samples
A methodology was developed for detection and
identification of pathogenic leptospires in animal
tissues and environmental samples using, polymerase
chain reaction (PCR) and hybridization with specific
probes. The study revealed that the PCR combined
with hybridization using specific probes were found
to be more sensitive than PCR alone for detection of
pathogenic leptospiral sequences in biological and
environmental samples.
Molecular characterization of Mycobacterium avium
subsp. paratuberculosis isolates and development of
rapid diagnostics for Johne’s disease
Twenty two Mycobacterium avium subsp.
paratuberculosis (MAP) isolates were isolated from
tissue and dung samples from cattle, sheep and
goats. Also two MAP isolates, one each from sheep
and goat origin, maintained in the Department of
Veterinary Microbiology, Madras Veterinary College
were revived and adapted to MB 7H9 broth and
MB7H10 agar. The isolates were confirmed for IS900,
F57genes by PCR and nested PCR and mycobactin
J dependency test. DMC-PCR showed that all the
isolates belong to sheep type (S type), as DMC-PCR
could not distinguish sheep type from closely related
intermediate types. The developed and standardized
diagnostics IS900 PCR, LAM-ELISA and LAT could
detect 50 (9l.9%), 46 (94.3%) and, 16 (3I.5%) pre-
clinical samples of JD respectively. The LAM-ELISA
and commercial ID-VET ELISA could detect 46 (83%)
and 33 (60%) of pre-clinical cases of JD and LAM-
ELISA was found to be 23% more sensitive than
the commercial ELISA kit. The DMC-PCR was able
to detect all IS900 positive samples both in clinical
and pre-clinical cases. A total of 74 (22.4%) and 67
(20.3%s) samples were found positive out of 329 field
serum samples (five clinical and 324 pre-clinical) by
LAM-ELISA and ID-VET al-lsA respectively. Fifty
two samples, including five clinical and 47 pre-
clinical samples were found positive out of 187 sera
samples tested by LAT.
Study on viruses associated with nephropathy in
poultry with special reference to infectious bronchitis
virus
Out of 14 and 8 kidney samples yielding a titre of
1:16 and above in IBV-specific HA test from broiler
and layer chickens respectively, 11 samples (79.0 %)
in broiler and two samples (25.0 %) in layer chickens
were positive for IBV isolation in ECE of SPF origin.
IBV-specific HA test can be viable screening method
for nephropathogenic IBV in broiler type of chickens.
Both live attenuated field isolates elicited protective
response by second week after vaccination during
protectotyping trial. Egg yolk prepared on 28 dpv from
hens vaccinated with inactivated Ind/KA/07/6 isolate
showed a titre of 415.9 and 15188±768 in HI test and
ELISA respectively. The HI test and ELISA indicated
that level of maternal antibody (MAb) in the vaccine
group was significantly (P< 0.01) higher on seven
days of age. However, it decreased to below the level
of protection in vaccine group in two weeks of age. In
nephropathogenic IB, incomplete protection against
homologous and partial cross-protection against
heterologous challenge was evident in pathotyping
and maternal antibody trials.
Serodiagnosis of bovine fasciolosis by ELISA and
Dot- EIA
Excretory / secretory antigen from Fasciola gigantica

Molecular detection and typing of Cryptosporidium
in dairy calves
Six hundred and sixty seven dung samples
from dairy calves of South India were screened for
Cryptosporidium infection by conventional microscopic
methods. Randomly selected 459 dung samples
were subjected to two-step nested PCR for screening
Cryptosporidium infection. Genotyping Cryptosporidium
was done by using molecular techniques such as
PCR-RFLP and sequence analysis. Cryptosporidium
andersoni, C.ryanae, C.parvum and C.bovis were
identified in 39, 18, 4 and 3 isolates, respectively.
Sequence analysis of 19 Cryptosporidium positive
isolates revealed that, C.andersoni (9), C.ryanae (8),
C.parvum (1) and C.bovis (1). Based on genotyping
results, C.andersoni was widely distributed in calves
of Tamil Nadu. In Andhra Pradesh C.ryanae was
the major species distributed among dairy calves
and the zoonotic species of C. parvum was identified
from Gannavaram isolate of Andhra Pradesh. In
Karnataka and Puducherry C.andersoni was identified,
where as in Kerala C.ryanae was identified. PCR-
RFLP and sequence analysis results were correlated.
Morphologically distinct C.andersoni was genotypically
confirmed by both PCR-RFLP and sequence analysis.
Rapid dot test for diagnosis of cystic echinococcosis
in man
This project is taken up to develop a rapid, novel
hydatid antigen dot binding assay (Dip disc ELISA)
for diagnosis of CE in man as a modified serological
test. The dip disc ELISA was developed and used in
this study. About 92 serum samples collected from
patients suspected for hydatidosis by imaging methods
were tested with dip disc ELISA and counter immuno-
electrophoresis. Dip disc ELISA showed positivity in
6 samples, whereas counter immuno-electrophoresis
showed positivity in 3 samples. The specificity,
cost and merits of the test were also studied. The
compatibility of this test with dip stick ELISA was also
studied. It was concluded that the novel dip disc ELISA
was a modified form of dot ELISA, easy to perform
with high sensitivity and specificity, to diagnose CE
in man without any high cost equipment.
Pathomorphological changes, immunopathological
effects and interaction with Newcastle disease virus
in low grade ochratoxicosis in broiler chickens
The effects of low levels of Ochratoxin-OA (30, 60
and 90 ppb) in broiler chicks were studied by feeding
OA from 0 to 5 weeks of age. The study revealed that
the Ochratoxin (30 ppb) affected the performance,
28  Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University
health, biochemical parameters and immune status of
birds. Vaccinated OA birds succumbed to NDV.
Lymphovascular invasion and oxidant-antioxidant
profile in carcinomas of dogs
The study revealed that the high microvessel density
(MVD) in carcinomas indicated high angiogenesis.
Lymphangiogenesis was comparatively lower than
the angiogenesis. LVI identified by IHC enhanced the
identification of tumour emboli compared to the H&E
staining. High microvessel density directly correlated
with lymph node and distant metastases with poor
prognosis and survival of mammary carcinoma
bearing dogs. The increased oxidant-antioxidant
profile in mammary carcinomas provides a selective
advantage to the growth of tumour tissue.
Comparison of four different techniques in diagnosis
of rabies virus in canines
Both the suspected and unsuspected carcasses of
canines were screened for rabies. A total of twenty
two canine carcasses were screened by examining
the impression smears from the hippocampus major
of the brain, all the impression smears were stained
by Seller’s method, Williams Modification of Van
Gieson’s (WMVG) method and fluorescence antibody
technique (FAT). Out of these six suspected cases
for rabies, five were positive by Seller’s method and
Williams Modification of Van Gieson’s. However,
all the six suspected cases were positive by the FAT
technique. The tissue samples from the hippocampus
major of the brain from all the six positive cases by
FAT were fixed in formal saline, processed by routine
histopathological technique. By this method also the
Negri bodies could be detected in only five cases that
were positive by Seller’s and WMVG. The sixth case
revealed post- mortem changes.
Comparison of dark field microscopy of urine,
histopathology and polymerase chain reaction in the
detection of Leptospira interrogans in canines
Dark field microscopy, histopathology and nested
polymerase chain reaction were used to detect Leptospira
interrogans in canines brought for post-mortem. Urine
samples were tested under dark field microscopy and
kidney samples were collected for histopathology
and nested polymerase chain reaction. DNA samples
were isolated and amplified for 20 samples. Special
staining techniques were done for the histopathological
detection. The nested PCR exhibited high sensitivity
and specificity for the detection of pathogenic serovars
compared to the other two methods.
Pathology of necrotic enteritis in broiler chicken
Microscopically, in the first trial, intestine showed
degeneration and necrosis of upper part of villi on
4th DPI. From 4th to 7th DPI birds showed hyperplasia
of villi of the jejunal mucosa. In the trial II, intestine
of I st DPI showed mild haemorrhages in between
villi and crypts. Intestine from 2nd to 4th DPI birds
showed severe hyperplasia of villi, infiltration
of lymphocytes and macrophages, and presence
of E. necatrix schizonts within the enterocytes.
Intestine from 5th to 7th DPI revealed shortening of
villi, diphtheritic pseudomembrane formation and
presence of C.perfringens organisms among the necrotic
epithelium. Immunohistochemically, the C.perfringens
organisms appeared in golden brown colour within the
necrotic and desquamated cells of the jejunal mucosa.
Hepatoprotective effect of amirthakaraisal in
pathology of avian aflatoxicosis
Hepatoprotective effect of amirthakaraisal in
aflatoxicosis affected chicken was proved. The use of
amirthakaraisal in poultry will be economical due to the
low price of this product compared to the commercially
available hepatoprotectants.
Bioavailability of ‘in-water’ formulations of enrofloxacin
in broilers
The pharmacokinetics of enrofloxacin (10 mg/kg)
was studied in broilers after administration through
drinking water. Two formulations A and B were used
in the study. The study revealed that two formulations
of enrofloxacin were found to be bioequivalent.
Enrofloxacin can be given orally @ 10 mg/kg to
successfully treat susceptible infections in broiler birds
Pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of difloxacin
in broiler chicken
Based on the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic
predictors of clinical efficacy, i.e., Cmax/MIC and AUC/
MIC, a dosage regimen of difloxacin administered
orally (10 mg/kg b.wt.) once-a-day is suggested for
treatment of fluoroquinolone-sensitive infections in
broiler chicken. Co-administration of piperine (15 mg/
kg b.wt.) further enhanced the oral bioavailability of
difloxacin and prevented the emergence of resistance.
Standardization of high performance liquid
chromatography assay for oxytetracycline antibiotic
HPLC method was standardized to estimate the
lower residual concentrations of doxycycline in biological
matrix (Plasma). HPLC standardization was carried out
for the selection of suitable mobile phase and liquid-
liquid extraction procedure to extract doxycycline from
plasma from different mobile phases and extraction
procedures. The standardization method with mobile
phase consisting acetonitrile and water in the ratio of 28:72
(pH 2.5 adjusted with O-phosphoric acid) at the flow rate
of 1 ml/min and liquid-liquid extraction with acetonitrile
and water (pH 2.5) showed a linear plot in the range of
0-0.5 µg/ml (R2=0.99) with an accuracy of 0.025 µg/ml
and precision of 6.98% (RSD).
Pharmacological evaluation of emu oil with or without
an herb (Cleome viscosa) for anti-inflammatory
activity in rats
A study was carried out to test the anti-inflammatory
effects of emu oil and the herb Cleome viscosa in adjuvant
induced arthritis in rats. Arthritis was induced by
injecting 0.1 ml of Freund`s adjuvant into right hind paw
of the rats. Treatment groups were subjected to emu oil,
Cleome viscosa or combination ointment application. The
pathological effects observed in arthritic control group
were reversed by emu oil as well as the herb Cleome
viscosa. While the reversal by emu oil was better than the
herb, their combination showed additive effect.
Exploration of herbs to alleviate the adverse effects of
indiscriminate use of antibacterial drugs in poultry
A study was carried out to explore the possible
protective effects of Ocimum sanctum and Withania
somnifera on the adverse effects of gentamicin and
enrofloxacin respectively in broiler chicken. It is
concluded that co-administration of Ocimum sanctum
and Withania somnifera along with gentamicin and
enrofloxacin, respectively reduced the intensity of
adverse effects of the antibacterials.
In-vitro anthelmintic activity of seed extracts of
Cleome viscosa against GI nematodes of small
ruminants
A study was undertaken to examine the in-
vitro anthelmintic activity of crude alcoholic and
aqueous extracts of Cleome viscosa seeds against
gastrointestinal nematodes for small ruminants.
The in-vitro anthelmintic activity of the extracts was
assessed by egg hatch assay method. Both the extracts
of C.viscosa seed showed marked anthelmintic activity
by inhibition of hatchability of egg. There was a dose
dependant increase in the effect with both alcoholic and
aqueous extracts. The effect was highly appreciable at
8% level of both the extracts.

pathogenic poultry isolates at 20% concentration level.
Out of five different pathogenic isolates (Salmonella sp.,
Klebsiella sp., Pseudomonas sp., Staphylococcus sp., and
Clostridium sp.), the ethanolic extract showed antibacterial
effect in the following order. Staphylococcus sp> Salmonella
sp> Clostridium sp> Pseudomonas sp> Klebsiella sp.,
whereas the aqueous extract showed least activity.
Exploration of antioxidant activity and nitric oxide
status of pomegranate juice (Punica granatum) with
its relation to health status in stress induced rats
The study revealed that the supplementation of
pomegranate juice was highly effective in alleviation of
isolation and heat stress in rats as well as in improving
their health status in terms of higher body weight,
lower feed intake and better feed efficiency.
Physiological effects of culinary plants in diabetic
induced rats
All the culinary plants (cinnamon, coriander and
cumin) used in this study significantly improved
plasma insulin level and total protein concentration
in the diabetes induced rats. SOD, CAT and GSH-
Px activities in the plasma, liver and kidney were
significantly improved in cinnamon, coriander and
cumin treated rats. The culinary plants treated groups
showed significant enhancement of the body weight.
In cinnamon, coriander and cumin treated rats,
histochemical studies of the liver and kidney showed
glycogen deposit indicating antidiabetogenic and
cytoprotective actions.
Effect of new herbal preparation (NR-ZB-01, NR-
ZB-02) as hepatostimulant in broiler chickens
Addition of herbal hepatostimulant (NR-ZB-01
containing Andrographis panniculata, Boer Habia diffusa,
Solanum nigrum, Phillanthus amarus and NR-ZB-02
containing Eclipta alba instead of Solanum nigrum) to
aflatoxin contaminated feed improved body weight
which indicated that the NR-ZB-01 and NR-ZB-02
supplementation protected the birds from the effect
of toxins present in the feed. Inclusion of herbal
hepatostimulant in the broiler diet in situations
where moderate level of aflatoxin contamination is
suspected under field conditions could improve the
overall performance of broiler chickens and Eclipta alba
containing product is a better protective than Solanum
nigrum containing product.

comparable induction response and better conception
rate than CIDR.
Health cover to captive wild animals (prolifically
breeding wild animals) maintained at Arignar Anna
Zoological Park
Intra-cardial method of blood collection was found
to be the most suitable technique in case of mugger
crocodiles reared in captive wild animal places for
easy as well as speedy collection. Alternatively, the
next choice was supra-occipital sinus collection route
but the quantum of blood samples obtained from this
route was found to be lesser than that obtained from
intra-cardial route.
Assessment of health status in free-ranging elephants
of Tamil Nadu state
One hundred and fifty dung samples in total
(50 samples from each free-ranging area) and 9
samples from captive elephants were examined
for parasitic evidences. All samples from forests
revealed evidences of Strongyles, Strongyloides sp.,
Anoplocephala sp., and mixed parasitic conditions.
Strongyles were encountered in case of captive
elephants. Fifty dung samples of co-grazing cattle
revealed evidences of Toxocara sp., oocysts of
Eimeria sp., Strongyloides sp., Strongyles and
Paramphistomum sp.
Molecular detection of pathogenic leptospires from
animal and environmental samples
Methodology was developed for detection
and identification of pathogenic leptospires in
animal tissues and environmental samples using,
polymerase chain reaction and hybridization with
specific probes. The polymerase chain reaction
with lipL21 and lipL32 primers, reported to be
conserved only in pathogenic leptospires were
employed to amplify the pathogenic sequences
of leptospires in biological and environmental
samples. An amplified products of 561 bp and 756
bp was obtained with lipL21 and lipL32 specific
PCR respectively. The results were compared with
widely used, 16S rRNA gene specific primers G1/
G2, B64 I/B64 II and obtained an amplified product
of 285 bp in all lipL21 and lipL32 PCR positive
samples. The lipL21 and lipL32 PCR products of
Leptospira serovar rachmati were labeled with
commercial biotin labeling kit, to develop specific
probes. Hybridization of PCR positive samples
was performed with specific synthesized probes,
and then the hybridized DNA was detected using
commercial chemiluminescence detection kit, to
confirm the specificity of PCR. Spiking of biological
and environmental samples with known serovars
rachmati was done in PCR negative samples to
detect the sensitivity of PCR and hybridization. PCR
combined with Hybridization using specific probes
was found to be more sensitive than PCR alone for
detection of pathogenic leptospiral sequences in
biological and environmental samples.
Novel Diagnostics and Vaccine Delivery System for
Emerging and Economically important Bacterial and
Viral Disease affecting Small Ruminants
Lymphocytes were separated from sheep blood
using histopaque and cultured with conconavalin
A for stimulation. RNA was extracted and first
strand cDNA sysnthesis was done by RT-PCR.
Gamma interferon specific primers were designed
and amplified to obtain an amplicon size of 432bp.
The purified PCR product was cloned to PET TOP
10 E.coli cells and the transformants were confirmed
by colony PCR. Plasmid was extracted from the
transformants and subcloned in BL-21 cells for
expression. A heat inactivated Johne’s disease vaccine
using the prevalent goat isolate was developed and
tested for its safety and potency in guinea pigs. The
expression of gamma interferon protein will help in
developing an indigenous gamma interferon assay
kit for low cost diagnosis of paratuberculosis and
tuberculosis. The Johne’s disease vaccine developed
has reduced the incidence of Johne’s disease in goats,
since no vaccine is available in India.
Isolation, identification and genomic fingerprinting
of pathogenic E.coli using BOX - PCR
Fifty fecal samples were collected from human
and animal patients with diarrhea and subjected to
E.coli isolation. The isolates were characterized and
DNA was extracted for BOX-PCR for molecular
epidemiology. The multiple DNA fragments were
analyzed by BIORAD software and the results
indicated a large degree of heterogenecity among the
isolates. The human isolate were closely related to
poultry, goat and duck isolates.
Isolation, identification and characterization of
Mycobacterial isolates from environmental samples
A total of 17 water samples and 16 soil samples were
collected for isolation of mycobacteria. Eight isolates
of acid fast organisms were obtained in Lowenstein
Jensen medium and characterized by biochemical test
and 16sRNA PCR followed by sequencing. BLAST
analysis revealed that the isolates were M.intracellulare,
M.fortuitum, M.terrae, M.shimoidei and M.wolinskyi
which were facultative pathogens, potential pathogens
and saphrophytes to human beings.
Characterization of anaerobic endodontic bacteria
and their susceptibility to herbal extracts.
Thirty three isolates of anaerobic endodontic
bacteria were isolated viz., Fusobacterium spp., Prevotella
spp., Actinomyces spp., Bacteroides spp., Bacillus spp.
and Streptococcus spp. and confirmed by 16sRNA PCR,
sequencing and BLAST analysis. Herbal extracts from
24 plants using hexane, acetyl acetate and methyl
alcohol as solvents were extracted and assessed for
their antimicrobial activity by disc diffusion and
minimum inhibitory concentration.

residue inclusion at 30 mg, ginger (Zingiber officinale)
rhizome water residue inclusion at 50 mg and for guava
(Psidium guajava) leaves methanol residue inclusion at
50 mg were found to exhibit maximum reduction of
methanogenesis.
Radio isotope and trace mineral laboratory
A study was carried out to investigate the effect
of alginate microparticles coated with chitosan on the
survival of Lactobacillus salivarius in simulated gastric
(SGJ) and intestinal juices (SIJ) and on their stability
during storage at 4 and 22 ºC. It was concluded
that microencapsulation of lactic acid bacteria with
alginate and chitosan coating offers an effective way of
delivering viable bacterial cells to the gut and maintain
their survival during refrigerated storage.
Evolving appropriate time of feeding without altering
the feed ingredients / forage for enhancing rumen
microbial biomass in cattle
A study was under taken to bring out a possible
ruminal delivery of synchronized energy and protein
to enhance ruminal microbial biomass in cattle by
evolving appropriate time of feeding without altering
the feed ingredients in four roughages (Napier – bajra
hybrid grass, sugarcane tops, sorghum stover and
paddy straw ) based feeding systems located in five
agro-climatic zones of Tamilnadu. Feeding strategy of
Napier-bajra hybrid grass, sugarcane tops, sorghum
stover and paddy straw based feeding system did not
significantly enhance the rumen microbial nitrogen
synthesis and growth rate of calves.
Least-cost nutritional intervention to enhance the
production potential of ruminants fed with rice gruel
A study was carried out to evolve a least-cost
nutritional intervention to enhance production
potential of ruminants fed with rice gruel with the
Annual Report 2010-2011  33
objective of evolving safe and strategic supplementation
to rice gruel by synchronizing nutrient delivery in the
rumen for maximum microbial production 0.8775 g
urea or 2.29 g of DAP with 0.185 g of sodium sulphate
can be fed along with 2.5 litres of rice gruel to an adult
cattle weighing about 500 kg without any deleterious
effects to maximize microbial biomass production and
improved digestibility.
Exploring fibrous byproducts as substrates to
generate fibrolytic enzymes for ruminants
A study was conducted to identify suitable fibrous
byproducts to grow Trichoderma viridae and optimize
the conditions for production of fibrolytic enzymes viz.,
cellulase and xylanase for their utility on crop residues
to augment their nutritive value. An experiment was
carried out on agro-industrial fibrous byproducts viz.,
coconut coir pith, saw dust, groundnut shells, paddy
husk and sugarcane bagasse to select best substrates
for Trichoderma viridae. It was concluded that 2.03 U of
cellulase and 2.73 U of xylanase is required per gram
of paddy straw or sorghum stover to augment its
nutritive value, whereas 3.05 U of cellulase and 4.10 U
of xylanase is required per gram of sugarcane tops to
augment its nutritive value. It was further concluded
that supplementation of Trichoderma viridae fermented
paddy husk as such to sorghum stover, paddy straw
and sugarcane tops is beneficial rather than extracting
enzymes from the fermented husk and supplementing.
This finding is not only practically feasible at farm gate
level but also a cost cutting measure of eliminating
cumbersome intervention of extracting enzymes from
the fermented substrate.
Development of value added Kalakand and Dahi by
incorporating cereals and fruits
Value addition of kalakand and dahi was done by
incorporating fruit pulps, nuts, flaxseed, cereal flour and
whey protein concentrates to increase the nutritional and
sensory quality. Sensory evaluation revealed that among
the different concentrations studied 5% papaya pulp,
5% fig pulp, 1% almond and 0.5% powdered flaxseed
combination was found to be highly acceptable. There
was a marked increase in potassium, magnesium, iron
and total carbohydrates levels in value added kalakand
but fat and protein decreased. Value added dahi was
prepared by using skim milk, oat flour, whey protein
concentrate. Value added dahi with 1% oat flour, 1%
whey protein concentrate was found to be highly
acceptable by sensory evaluation and curd tension study.
Value added stirred dahi was prepared with oat flour,
whey protein concentrate, papaya, fig pulps and sugar
with different combination in order to assess the suitable
34  Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University
level of addition with maximum acceptability. Value
added stirred dahi with 1% oat flour, 1% whey protein
concentrate, 5% papaya pulp, 4% sugar combination was
found to be acceptable among the other combinations.
Storage studies evaluated by sensory score revealed that
the value added dahi can be stored up to 7 days at 5ºC.
Total yield of value added kalakand and dahi were found
to be increased but there was increased cost of production
due to increased cost of ingredients (fruits, nuts, whey
protein concentrate) used for value addition.
Development of low fat fibre enriched ice cream
Low fat fibre enriched ice cream was produced
by incorporating inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides.
Different treatments of fibre enriched ice cream
were prepared by incorporating inulin or fructo-
oligosaccharides at 3, 5 and 7% levels in two different
lots. The physico-chemical properties, calorific value and
organoleptic evaluation were studied during different
storage periods up to 5th week in different treatments of
ice cream at -23ºC using 9-point hedonic scale. Owing to
its lower calorific value and low cost of production, ice
cream with fructo-oligosaccharides seems to be the ideal
choice recommended for production of an acceptable low
fat fibre enriched ice cream.
Preparation of an instant kulfi-mix powder
Kulfi is a very popular, palatable and nutritious
frozen dairy product of Indian origin. An instant
kulfi-mix powder was prepared by incorporation of
liquid glucose and maltodextrin. Three types of instant
kulfi-mixes, prepared with sugar, 5% liquid glucose
and 0.5% maltodextrin and 5% liquid glucose and
1% maltodextrin. These kulfi-mixes were spray dried
and the instant kulfi-mix powders were obtained.
Incorporation of maltodextrin at 0.5% and 1% and
liquid glucose at 5% level resulted in acceptable quality
kulfi with better meltdown. The varying levels of
incorporation of maltodextrin and liquid glucose did
not affect the bacteriological quality of instant kulfi-mix
powders and remained well within the required BIS
standards. The production cost was least for the kulfi-
mix with 1% maltodextrin and 5% liquid glucose. Kulfi-
mixes prepared with incorporation of maltodextrin at
0.5% and 1% level along with liquid glucose at 5% level
was found to be better in quality..
Microencapsulation of probiotics and incorporation
in yoghurt
A study was undertaken to microencapsulate
the four different probiotic cultures viz., Lactobacillus
acidophilus, Lactobacillus helveticus, Bifidobacterium longum
and Bifidiobacterium lactis and preparation of plain yoghurt
and frozen yoghurt with these microencapsulated
cultures. Microencapsualtion was done in two different
methods (extrusion and emulsion) by using two
different wall materials viz., alginate+starch and
alginate+gelatin+starch. Iron fortified yoghurt was
also prepared using encapsulated iron and effect of
iron fortification on yoghurt quality and viability of
probiotic was also tested. Insulin syringe gave beads
with minimum diameter. Size of the emulsion beads was
lower when the emulsifier percentage was less (0.5%).
Speed of addition of CaCl2 solution affected bead shape.
SEM analysis of beads revealed characteristic size, shape
and outer and inner structure of the beads. When the
beads were stored in CaCl2, the bead size was found to
be reduced. Alginate+gelatin+starch, as wall material
and extrusion method provides best survivability of all
probiotics. Iron encapsulation treatments, which infer that
iron fortification does not affect the viability of probiotic
bacteria. Sensory evaluation revealed higher scores with
regard to flavor and overall acceptability for treatment
frozen yoghurt than plain yoghurt. B. longum and B.
lactis showed high reduction in count when compared to
other bacteria. Bifidobacteria showed poor survivability
compared to lactobacillus group. In viability study, every
half an hour of incubation in SIF a reduction in probiotic
count was noticed. The cost of production (in rupees)
of control yoghurt was 49.30, whereas for treatment
yoghurt II, III, IV and V were 68.30, 69.10, 75.40 and 76.20
respectively. Similarly, the cost of ingredients (in rupees)
for one kg of control frozen yoghurt was 49.70, whereas
for treatment frozen yoghurt II,III,IV and V were 68.7,
69.5, 75.8 and 76.6 respectively.
Preparation of spirulina enriched probiotic yoghurt
Probiotic yoghurt was prepared by incorporating
Bifidobacterium bifidum. Spirulina enriched yoghurt
was prepared by incorporating spirulina at the rate
of 1gram per litre of probiotic yoghurt mix. There
was no significant difference in the pH and acidity of
probiotic and spirulina enriched yoghurt between 2
sampling periods (0 and 3rd day). There was significant
difference in pH and acidity in these two treatments on
7th day. The spirulina enriched sample was less acidic
than probiotic yoghurt. The addition of cyanobacterial
biomass to Bifidobacterium bifidum, S.salivarius ssp.
thermophilus and L. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus was of
beneficial effect on their viability.
Development of whey protein concentrate enriched
synbiotic ice cream
A study was carried out to find out the acceptable
level of whey protein concentrate (WPC), prebiotics
viz., honey, oligofructose and inulin, and probiotics
(Lactobacillus acidophilus and Sachharomyces boulardii)
in ice cream, as also the viability of probiotic
microorganisms on storage of ice cream and the effect
of prebiotic substances on in vivo and in vitro survival
of probiotic microorganisms along with their effect on
faecal pH and control of coliforms in intestine. WPC
incorporated at the rate of 10% by replacing skim
milk powder was acceptable level. The prebiotics
honey, oligofructose and inulin were all acceptable at
3 % level in ice cream. The pH of 5.5 was found to be
acceptable level of fermentation in ice cream mix and
added prebiotics improved the growth of probiotics L.
acidophilus and S.boulardii. The prebiotic substances in
the ice cream mix significantly improved the growth of
probiotic L.acidophilus and S.boulardii. The reduction in
the count of L.acidophilus and S.boulardii due to freezing
of the ice cream ranged from 0.61 to 0.77 and 0.12 to
0.21 log counts per gram, respectively. A significant
reduction in their count L.acidophilus and S.boulardii
during storage was observed on day 0, 7 and 15 and
the L.acidophilus and S.boulardii counts were well above
the therapeutic dose during entire treatment period.
Synbiotic ice cream gave significantly higher faecal
L. acidophilus count than ice cream without prebiotic
substances. Synbiotic ice cream fed groups had
significantly higher reduction in the faecal coliform
count than the ice cream prepared with prebiotics
alone. From this study, it may be concluded that the ice
cream can be used as an excellent medium to deliver
probiotics and prebiotics such as honey, oligofructose
and inulin, to increase the activity of the probiotic
bacteria L.acidophilus and probiotic yeast S.boulardii
thereby improving gut health of the consumers.

animal was 6.21 liters per day.
Hatching performance of emu breeder birds
(Dromaius novaehollandiae)
The hatching performance of emu breeder birds
maintained in pair mating under semi- intensive
system was evaluated during 2009-2010 laying season.
A total of 720 emu eggs were collected during breeding
season (2009-10) from 36 pairs, out of which 100 eggs
from 21 pairs were used for the present study. The
weight of emu chick at hatch ranged from 367.16 ±
3.90 to 412.5 ± 4.31 g with a mean weight of 389.83 ±
4.10 g. The cost of production per chick was estimated
to be `1,426.20.
Performance of guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) under
different rearing environment
A study was conducted on twenty four weaned
English albino breed of guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) to
assess the performance in solid and wire mesh flooring
under controlled environment at temperature of 22 ±
2ºC with relative humidity of 60 ± 10% as group G1
and G2 and the same in sheltered environment which
depended on nature as group G3 and G4 respectively.
The study revealed that the solid bottom reared
animals under controlled environment performed
comparatively better in terms of breeding performance
such as fertility rate, litter size and weaning size and
production performance such as growth rate, feed
utilization, health and survivability than the other
groups.
Dietary protein, calcium and phosphorous requirement
of breeder Japanese quail in humid tropics
Two biological experiments were carried out to
assess and arrive at the optimum dietary crude protein
levels in Japanese quail brooder, grower and breeder
diets as well as the dietary calcium and phosphorous
levels in their breeder diets. At three weeks of age, 24%
dietary protein resulted in significantly higher body
weight. Dietary protein level in brooder diet was found
to significantly influence % hen day egg production
(P<0.01), feed efficiency per dozen eggs and kg egg
mass (P<0.01), % fertility and hatchability (P<0.05) in
favour of 22 over 24 %. Similar influence was witnessed
for 21 % dietary protein over 17 and 19 % in breeder
diets. Accordingly, dietary protein levels of 22/18/21
in Japanese quail brooder, grower and breeder diets
were found to be the most optimal with the least cost
of feed for production of hatching eggs and chicks
in Japanese quail breeder farming. Considering
the economic parameters, feed cost to produce 100
hatching eggs and 100 chicks were worked out which
36  Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University
was found to favour 3.0/0.45 % dietary calcium and
available phosphorous in Japanese quail breeder diets.
Dietary protein, lysine and methionine requirement
of layer Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)
in tropics
Two biological experiments were conducted using
Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) from day old
to thirty weeks of age to identifiy the dietary protein,
lysine and methionine requirement of layer Japanese
quail reared in cages under a hot and humid tropical
climate. Higher dietary protein levels of 26 % recorded
significantly (P<0.05) better body weight gain and feed
efficiency. Hen day and hen housed egg production were
significantly influenced by dietary protein combinations.
The best dietary protein combination of 26 / 20 / 22
followed by 24 / 20 / 19 recorded higher hen day and
hen housed egg production. The same combinations
again recorded the best feed efficiency per dozen egg and
kilogram egg mass. Birds provided with higher protein
level of 26 / 22 / 22, 26 / 20 / 22 and 24/22/22 recorded
heavier egg weight. Among the various combinations of
dietary lysine and methionine studied, the amino acid
combination of 1.15 / 0.40 recorded the highest hen
day egg production of (73.42 ± 1.28) and significantly
(P<0.01) the highest hen housed egg production (68.94
± 1.21). Among the lysine and methionine combinations
that gave significantly (P<0.01) the best feed efficiency per
dozen eggs, 1.05/0.40 and 1.15/0.40 recorded the best
feed efficiency. The best feed efficiency per kilogram egg
mass was recorded by four dietary lysine and methionine
combinations among these the best combination was
1.15/0.40 (3.75±0.24). The lowest feed cost per hundred
table eggs was recorded by Japanese quails fed with
1.15/0.45 dietary lysine and methionine, this group also
recorded a better egg feed price ratio.
Feeding value of maize bran in broilers
An experiment was conducted to study the
inclusion of maize bran with and without non-starch
polysaccharide hydrolyzing enzyme (NSPHE) on
production performance viz., body weight gain, feed
intake, feed conversion ratio and carcass characteristics
for a period of six weeks with two hundred and eighty
commercial, straight run day-old Vencobb broiler
chicks. These chicks were randomly grouped into
seven treatments with four replicates of ten chicks
each. The treatment groups consisted of control (T1),
2.5 % maize bran (T2), 2.5 % maize bran + NSPHE (T3),
5 % maize bran (T4), 5 % maize bran + NSPHE (T5),
7.5 % maize bran (T6) and 7.5 % maize bran + NSPHE
(T7). Based on the studies it was concluded that maize
bran up to 7.5 % without NSPHE could be included in
broiler diet for producing significantly higher body
weight and ready-to-cook carcass weight with better
return over feed cost.
Feeding brewer’s dried grain with enzyme
supplementation on the performance of meat-type
Japanese quail
An experiment was conducted to study the
inclusion of brewer’s dried grain (BDG) with or without
non-starch polysaccharide hydrolyzing enzyme
(NSPHE) supplementation on production performance,
carcass characteristics, serum biochemical parameters
and return over feed cost in meat-type Japanese quail.
The mean dry matter, crude protein, ether extract,
crude fibre, total ash, nitrogen free extract, calcium and
total phosphorus in BDG were 94.80, 23.13, 6.21, 13.98,
2.92, 49.40, 0.24 and 0.48 %, respectively. Based on the
studies it was concluded that BDG can be utilized as
one of the unconventional feed ingredients in Japanese
quail diets up to the level of 15 % without enzyme
supplementation.
Sustainable rural livelihood through backyard
guinea fowl farming in Thiruvannamalai district of
Tamil Nadu
To popularize guinea fowl farming as an
independent entrepreneurial activity, training on
scientific guinea fowl farming was imparted to the
rural women self help groups (SHG). Till date, a total
of fourteen villages have been covered under the
project. In the first phase (2009-10), a total of 100 self
help group women were selected from five villages
after initial motivation, and offered training and
critical inputs. In the second phase (2010-2011), based
on the motivation camps organized in ten villages,
a total of 200 SHG women have been selected and
given training component. Out of them, critical inputs
were distributed for the 120 beneficiaries. Routine
monitoring of the production and health status was
carried out in the field level.
Empowerment of tribal women and women self help
groups through rabbit, poultry and sheep farming in
the Nilgiris district
Thirty units of sheep, each consists of two ewe
lambs and one ram lamb were distributed to Pania
tribal women and women self help group members.
Twenty six units of rabbits each consists of 3 males and
6 females were distributed to members of tribal women
and women self help groups. In addition, 225 units of
layer birds (665 birds) were distributed to the women
self help groups and tribal women. All the beneficiaries
of rabbits and poultry units were provided with cages
suitable for rearing the respective class of animals. All
the beneficiaries were given training on management
practices of sheep, poultry and rabbits. The scheme
has established 26 units of rabbits, each unit consisting
of 9 rabbits, 225 units of poultry and 30 sheep units (3
sheep per unit) during the project period and thus the
women were directly benefited.
Integrated agro-meteorological advisory services
One hundred and four weather based bulletins (bi-
weekly) were issued for the year 2010-11 covering 359
days for the benefit of poultry and agricultural farmers
of Namakkal, Salem, Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri
districts of North West Agroclimatic zone of Tamil
Nadu. For Namakkal district, advisory on agriculture
was provided by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Namakkal.
Bulletins were issued in Tamil to 15 selected poultry
farmers by post and widely circulated using local Tamil
dailies, local TV channels and AIR, Trichy. The English
version of the same was sent regularly to IMD, Pune for
National Level Advisory preparation and to TANUVAS
for website hosting and to TNAU for composite bulletin
preparation for entire Tamil Nadu. Total precipitation
recorded in 2010 was 982.4 mm. The findings of pattern
of climatic changes help to fine-tune the management in
the farms for vaccination, feeding, summer management
and for planning feeding regimens in poultry and for
both maneuvering the agriculture practices as well as
planning for long term cropping pattern for better yield
and transferring the techniques at appropriate time.
Homestead rabbit farming to improve the livelihood
of rural women SHGs in Tamilnadu
Fifty three beneficiaries from Thiruvallur district
were selected and trained on rabbit farming. Hands-on
training was imparted on least-cost feed formulation
using locally available feed ingredients. Twenty two
units (one male + five females) were distributed to the
beneficiaries of Thiruvallur district and 25 rabbits were
sold for meat purpose in order to popularize the rabbit
meat. The trained beneficiaries’ farm will act as a model
unit for the early majority farmers to start with rabbit
farming. Rabbit farming practices and awareness on
rabbit meat will be popularized among rural women
and thereby the protein consumption from meat will
be increased. Additional income can be generated by
the women through rabbit farming.

and cut up parts weight. The order of preference of the
animal by-products was incorporation was ossein, by-
products residue (sludge), sinews and bone meal. The
meat samples were subjected to analysis of the physico-
chemical quality parameters, eating quality parameters,
proximate analysis, amino acid and fatty acid levels, metal
residue and microbiological quality. The results revealed
that the meat was safe for consumption.The technology
has given way for utilization of animal by-products
like ossein, bone meal, sinews and by-products residue
(sludge) as a supplement in the poultry feed in turn it will
help in preventing the environmental pollution and also
the wealth is been generated from the waste.
Detection of Salmonella spp. and Staphylococcus
aureus from chicken meat by multiplex polymerase
chain reaction
A study was undertaken to develop a multiplex PCR
(m-PCR) protocol for simultaneous detection of Salmonella
spp. and Staphylococcus aureus from chicken meat. Genus
specific primers were used to detect Salmonella spp. by
targeting its invA gene. Newly designed species specific
primers were used to detect Staphylococcus aureus by
targeting its nuc gene. The sensitivity (detection limit)
of PCR for Salmonella spp. and Staphylococcus aureus was
found to be 0.03 pg and 36 pg per 20 μl of reaction mixture
respectively. In m-PCR, sensitivity (detection limit) for
Salmonella spp. and Staphylococcus aureus was found to be
10 ng and 1.2 ng per 25 μl of reaction mixture respectively.
The m-PCR technique developed in this study can be
used as a rapid screening test for detection of Salmonella
spp. and Staphylococcus aureus from chicken meat within
24 hours.

CLINICS
Luteolytic effect of prostaglandin F 2α at different
doses in cyclic crossbred cows
Fifty cyclic crossbred cows maintained at well
organized farms and those brought to Large Animal
Gynaecology Unit, Madras Veterinary College
Hospital weighing between 300 to 400kg were
selected for this study. They were randomly divided
into five groups of ten cows each. Group I, II, III, IV
cows were treated with 25, 20, 15, 10 mg of PGF2α
(Lutalyse, Pfizer) respectively. Group V cows served
as control and were treated with placebo (5 ml of
saline intramuscularly). Groups I,II,III and IV cows
treated with 25 mg, 20 mg, 15 mg and 10 mg of PGF2α
showed an estrus response of 80 (8/10),80 (8/10),70
(7/10) and 70 (7/10) % respectively. Group V
treated with placebo exhibited 100% estrus response.
Analysis of variance showed that the time taken for
onset of estrum was significantly higher (P<0.05)
in the control group when compared to treatment
groups. Statistical analysis revealed that there was
no significant difference (P>0.05) in intensity of
estrus between the 25, 20, 20 and 15 mg groups
following I and II dose of PGF 2α . However, the
intensity of estrus was significantly (P<0.05) lower
in the 10 mg group after I and II dose ofPGF2α when
compared to other treatment and control groups.
The study revealed that there are some cows that can
respond to this lowered dosage, however, it is not
possible to determine the cause for the variability in
the synchronization to PGF2α among cows.
Androgen deprivation therapy of benign prostatic
hyperplasia in dogs using osaterone acetate
This study was carried out with the aim to
investigate the effect of Osaterone acetate (OSA),
an antiandrogen on the prostate volume, blood
testosterone levels and the seminal parameters in
dogs with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). The
data obtained for 604 dogs from clinical records (July
2008 - August 2009) and screening of 216 clinical cases
brought to Madras Veterinary College during the study
period (September 2009 to May 2010) were pooled to
study the incidence of prostatic affections and age and
breed related incidence of BPH among dogs. Following
OSA administration, the time taken for the remission of
clinical signs ranged from 2- 30 days, with 10, 20, 10, 20,
20 and 20 % of the dogs showing complete remission
of clinical signs within 5, 6, 8, 14 and 30 days of start
of treatment respectively. In conclusion, a short 7 day
course of OSA proved an effective and safe therapeutic
regimen for BPH in dogs for a minimum period of 6
months.
Lipid content and SOX gene expression pattern
in sheep oocytes and preimplantation embryos
produced in vitro under different culture conditions
The study was designed to evaluate the lipid
content in oocytes and pre-implantation sheep embryos
using Nile Red staining and effect of serum during in
vitro culture on the expression pattern of SOX gene in
preimplantation embryos. A total of 2,386 oocytes were
recovered from 426 sheep ovaries by slicing technique
with an average yield of 5.67 ± 0.14 oocytes per ovary. Six
replicates were carried each with SOF supplemented with
10% FBS and SOF with 3% PVA. Based on the findings
of this study it was concluded that the supplementation
of IVM medium (TCM199) with serum, gonadotropins,
steroids, IGF and cysteamine enhanced oocyte maturation
rate in sheep and the synthetic oviduct fluid with FBS
medium was superior when compared to SOF with PVA
for in vitro development of sheep embryos. The SOX
gene expression pattern in immature, matured oocytes
and preimplantation embryos from SOF with FBS and
SOF with PVA might be due to oxidative stress and lipid
metabolism.
Effect of serum free media on in vitro maturation,
fertilization and embryo culture of ovine oocytes
A total of 341 ovine ovaries were sliced to obtain
1,407 oocytes giving a recovery rate of 4.13 per ovary.
Among the oocytes collected 38.81%, 46.06% and
15.14% were A, B and C grades respectively. The
number of morula developed was found to be higher
in wheat peptone supplemented group followed by
BSA and FBS groups. The difference between the
groups was not significant. It can be concluded that
wheat peptone supplement in embryo culture alone
yield better morula production.
Study of abdominal affections in bovines and
suggesting suitable surgical correction
The clinical study was conducted in 72 bovines
to diagnose various abdominal affections. Out of 72
cases reported 48 animals were selected for the surgical
management by their prognostic condition and owners’
willingness for the surgery. The study revealed that
for abdominal disorders like ruminal impaction,
ruminal acidosis, tympany, traumatic reticulitis,
diaphragmatic hernia and abomasal impaction
rumenotomy within 7 days of occurrence was useful.
For emptying the rumen content siphoning with 2
inch hose pipe was found ideal. For diaphragmatic

Evaluation of acepromazine / xylazine with
guaifenesin as preanaesthetic for ketamine induction
and isoflurane maintenance anaesthesia in bovine
A clinical study was conducted in 10 pregnant
cows and two she buffaloes to study the adjunct
action of acepromazine / xylazine with guaifenesin
as preanaesthetic agent. the study revealed that the
adjunct action of acepromazine with guaifenesin as
preanaesthetic for ketamine induction and isoflurane
maintenance in bovine was found satisfactory. The
dose used in the present study produced adequate
sedation to cause smooth induction in group I animals.
The mean arterial pressure decreased significantly after
induction and during isoflurane maintenance in group

Estimation of the quantity and quality of poultry
litter available in Tamil Nadu for renewable
energy production funded by Tamil Nadu Energy
Development Agency
A study was conducted to estimate the quantity
of poultry litter in Tamil Nadu for which 1075 farmers
were selected from 13 districts. One broiler bird
produced approximately 2.5 kg litter (including waste).
Palladam and Udumalaipettai area of Tiruppur district
produced 12,034 and 5,737 tons of poultry litter per
batch, whereas Pollachi and Sulur area of Coimbatore
district produced 1,962 and 5,998 tons of poultry litter
per batch. A layer bird on an average produced 80
g of litter per day. Layer farm litter production per
day was 3988 tons from Namakkal district and 750
tons from Erode district. The major constraint faced
by the poultry farmers was fly, insect and rodents
menace. About 77% of the farmers sold the litter
material through the manure traders. The poultry litter
produced by layer farms of Tamil Nadu can be utilized
to produce 48 megawatt power per day.
Constraint analysis of pig farmers of Aizawl district
of Mizoram
The study on constraint analysis of pig farmers of
Aizawl District of Mizoram aimed to assess the profile
of the pig farmers, their knowledge level, adoption
behaviour on improved pig management practices
and constraints encountered by the pig farmers.
40  Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University
Majority (54.44 %) of the pig farmers were middle aged,
educated up to primary level, having pig farming as
a secondary occupation and maintained small herd
size of 1 to 3 pigs. Majority of the farmers had low to
medium level of adoption (71.11%) while the remaining
28.88% of them were having high level of adoption. Of
the fourteen variables selected for the study, seven
variables namely education, income, extension agency
contact, social participation, mass media exposure,
innovativeness and scientific orientation had negative
and significant relationship with the constraints.
A critical analysis of contract system in poultry
farming
The data pertaining to system and type of contract
farming, preference towards contract farming,
decision making behavior, effect of contract farming
on environment and risk involved in contract farming
were collected. The results revealed that majority of
contract broiler farmers were middle to old age group
with primary to higher secondary level of education.
In the study on preference towards contract farming,
an overwhelming majority of broiler farmers preferred
independent farming to contract farming and an
overwhelming majority of the layer farmer preferred
contract farming to independent farming. In the study
on risks involved in contract poultry farming, majority
of the contract broiler farmers and an overwhelming
majority of layer farmers had price risk due to
unanticipated charges in output / input prices. More
than one-half of the broiler and layer farmers had the
risk of delayed payment by the integrators.
A study on level of diffusion of technology through
capacity building protocol amongst farmer interest
groups on feed computation and mixing with the
locally available feed ingredients
Survey on the existing feeding practice of
concentrates for dairy animals carried out in 12
blocks of Vellore revealed usage of groundnut oil
cake, wheat and rice bran, black gram/ bengal gram
husk and tapioca / tamarind powder. The crude
protein was lower in Sholinghur block (10.29%)
and higher for Alangayam block (15.64%). The
recommended compounded feed had crude protein
content of 16.28%. Overall technology adoption by
the farmers under the Farmer Interest Groups (FIGs)
who had participated in the training program in
twelve blocks was 56.81% . Highest level of adoption
was observed in Kalavai (100%) block and low level
in Katpadi block (31.58%). Factors influencing
adoption of new technology included dairy income,
animal holding and net returns by the farmers.
Economics of total cost of milk production per litre
of milk by new technology was high for large farmers
(`8.62) and low for landless farmers (` 6.95). A net
return per litre of milk was high for landless (` 6.72)
and low for large farmers (` 4.52). Total cost of milk
production per litre of milk has been reduced and
net return per litre has been increased for all class
of farmers who have adopted the new technology.
Opinions of the FIG’s by Garrets Ranking Technique
revealed top score of 73.11 for the increased milk
production in cross breed are which have adapted
new technology for 15 days. A Soft ware (CD’s)
was developed on cattle feed formulation and
computation using least cost available ingredients
for distribution to ATMA-FIG members.
Implementation of precision farming system in
vegetable crops
Bank assistance for installation of drip and
irrigation system for 100 selected farmers was arranged
with Indian Bank, Saligramam and Land Development
Bank, Sivagangai. Installation of drip and fertigation
system was completed in 61 farmers’ fields. More
than 20 farmers had gone for vegetable cropping with
hybrid chilies, bhendi and brinjal. The farmers were
very much convinced about the precision farming
project since the farmers were able to save 40%
electricity charges and 50% water saving. Moreover
the farmers were also getting very high yield by this
system than the conventional farming system.

viral pathogens in shrimp
A multiplex PCR assay was developed for
simultaneous detection of viral pathogens that affect
the production in shrimp farming. This assay is
cost-effective and gives results rapidly compared to
individual PCR assays.
Detection of hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV)
in shrimp cultured in India using PCR assays from
different geographical regions
Genetic variations have been reported in HPV
due to which molecular diagnosis of HPV is difficult.
Knowledge on the prevalence of various strains of HPV
in India is essential in the development of molecular
diagnostics. Various graphical strains of HPV were
identified in this project.
Characterization of Aeromonas species from infected
fish samples using microbial, biochemical, molecular
and protein based methods
Many species of Aeromonas bacteria infects cultured
fishes. Characterization and confirmation of species
of Aeromonas was carried out in this project as it is
essential for effective management of Aeromonas
infection in fish farming.

Edwardsiella is bacterial pathogen infecting fishes.
In this project, an attempt was made to isolate this
bacterial pathogen from infected fishes collected from
the farms and hatcheries.
Expression of Toll-like Receptor 2 (TLR 2) and Toll-
like Receptor 4 (TLR 4) in fish treated with probiotics
Toll-like Receptors are involved in recognition
of pathogens infecting cultured fishes. This project
42  Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University
was carried out with an objective to know the
modulation in the expressions of TLR2 and TLR4
when induced with beneficial probiotics bacteria.
Immunomodulation was observed in fishes when
induced with probiotics.
Analysis of processed sea foods of export importance
for compliance with quality standards
India is one of the major sea food exporters in the
world. This project was carried out with an objective
to know if the quality of the sea food meets the
international quality standards.
Expression of Toll Proteins in cultured Shrimp
Toll receptors are involved in recognition of
pathogens infecting cultured shrimp. The results of
this project showed that basal and induced expression
of toll is present in cultured shrimp.
Development of a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
assay for diagnosis of Monodon baculovirus (MBV)
in shrimp
Monodon baculovirus (MBV) is a viral pathogen
that infects cultured shrimp causing production
losses. A polymerase chain reaction based assay was
developed for specific detection of MBV in shrimp.
Expression of NOD like receptors (NLRs) in a fish
model
NOD like receptors (NLRs), are immune proteins.
This study was carried out with an objective to identify
and study the expression of NLRs in a fish model.
Results showed that both basal and induced expression
of NLR is present in fish.
Detection and characterization of White Spot
Syndrome virus virulent markers
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is still a
serious infection in shrimp farms. Some of the
ponds tested positive for WSSV continue the crop
without any clinical symptoms. The project aimed at
targeting this point of possible virulence variations
in terms of pathogenicity existing among the WSSV
isolates and also the different genotypes. The project
also targeted 2 or 3 multiple loci to generate a
multiplex PCR. Variations in the TRs of ORF 94 and
infectivity characteristics were found in the WSSV
isolates. In the Multilocus analysis carried out, the
ORF112 (vp76 class I-cytokine receptor), ORF113
(anti-apoptosis gene), ORF115 (VP9) is observed to
be likely associated genes responsible for mortality
induction in shrimps. The sequencing analysis
showed that none of the isolates had 100% homology
with any of the three reported (Thailand, Taiwan,
China) genome sequences. The multiplex PCR
generated in the project is beneficial in identifying
many of the different strains of WSSV.
Development and characterization of cell lines from
clown fish (Amphiprion sp) and their application
Eight clown fish cell lines from four different
tissues viz., fin, caudal peduncle, brain and spleen
were developed from clown fish Amphiprion sebae.
These cell lines were characterized by investigating
their optimum temperature and serum requirement
for growth and chromosome numbers. The cell lines
were successfully used for isolation, propagation,
quantitation of the viral agents from the infected
marine fishes. Electron microscopic analysis revealed
several virus particles in the nucleus and cytoplasm
of the cell cultures. The 16s rDNA sequence analysis
indicated that the origin of cells were from Amphiprion
sp. GFP transfection and expression studies indicated
that the cell lines could be effectively used for various
studies involving expression of different genes which
could be transfected in to the cells using agents like
lipofectamine. Since cell lines are a prerequisite for
the virological studies for disease control, the cell
lines developed could be effectively used for virus
characterisation and vaccine development studies.
Protein characterization of Chaetodontid fishes of
Thoothukudi coast
The present study was aimed to investigate the
electrophoretic pattern of Chaetodontid fishes of
Thoothukudi coast. Nine species of Chaetodontid
fishes were collected from the Thoothukudi coast and
14 morphometric, and 11 meristic measurements were
studied. The percentage of overlapping was derived
for the morphometric measurements between closely
related species and based on which valid characters
were recorded for differentiating the closely related
species. SDS - PAGE was carried out using the muscle
and eye lens protein of all the nine Chaetodontid
species. The muscle protein profile and eye lens protein
profile of all the Chaetodontid fishes were found
significantly different (P< 0.01). From the study it could
be concluded that closely related Chaetodontid species
could be easily identified based on the characteristic
electrophoretic protein profile of muscle myogen and
eye lens protein.
Effect of processing treatments on the survival of white
spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in cultured shrimp
The presence of WSSV in different types of cultured
shrimp products viz., Whole, Headless (HL) and Peeled
and undeveined (PUD) by PCR was studied. The
products were screened for WSSV by both the single step
and nested PCR that were standardized. The annealing
temperature of 55ºC for 60 sec and the PCR cycles of 35
were found to yield good results in the detection of WSSV
from shrimp products. Three sets of primers viz., 1s5 and
1a16 and IK1 and IK2 for single step, IK1 and IK2 – IK3
and IK4 for nested PCR were tested for the optimum
detection of WSSV from shrimp products. For the single
step PCR, the primer set of 1s5 and 1a16 was found to be
highly sensitive for the detection of WSSV. The nested
PCR was found to be more sensitive than the single
step PCR. The prevalence of WSSV in cultured shrimp
products by the nested PCR was 66%, whereas, it was
29% by the single step PCR. The nested PCR is, therefore,
recommended for screening of WSSV from cultured
shrimp products. The incidence of WSSV in cultured
chilled whole shrimps from shrimp farms was 79% by
nested PCR. Both the single step PCR primer sets yielded
the same results (5%) from the shrimp farm samples.
Of all the processing treatments, cooking followed by
quick freezing was very effective in destroying the WSSV
DNA. The processing treatments such as icing, freezing,
cooking, canning, and cold storage had no effect on the
destruction of WSSV DNA. The viability of WSSV was
investigated by conducting bioinoculation studies on
live healthy WSSV-free shrimps (Penaeus monodon). The
WSSV inoculum from frozen cold stored as well as from
frozen cooked shrimp samples was intramuscularly
injected into the healthy shrimps. Mortality (100%) was
observed within 45-123 h of post injection (P.I). These
results indicated that the WSSV was viable and survived
the freezing and cooking processes and resistant to cold
storage.
Detection of Salmonella by RT-MPCR
The Reverse Transcriptase Multiplex PCR (RT-
MPCR) assay was developed for the detection of
Salmonella species in fish and fishery products. Three
genus specific genes viz., invA, hns and fimA were
selected to amplify the target genes based on the
virulence and structural properties. The products
sizes of the selected genes were 275bp, 158bp and
85bp, respectively, which aided the identification
of Salmonella spp. in a single reaction without any
interference. The specificity of the selected genes was
analyzed with the non-Salmonella species and found
that they are specific only for Salmonella

other stakeholders.
An economic analysis of livelihood development of
fisherfolk living in pitchavaram mangrove area
The study was carried out in MGR Thittu village
in the vicinity of the Pichavaram mangroves in
the Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu. The specific
objectives were to study socio-economic profile of
fisherfolk living around mangrove area, identification of
livelihood development issues, alternate employment
opportunities, impact of mangroves in protecting
fisherfolk community against natural disasters and role
of stakeholders in co-management of mangroves. The
most important concern for protecting the mangroves
was found to be strengthening of coastline against
Tsunami through mangrove plantation. The issue
44  Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University
agreed upon by experts was protection of mangroves
for sustainable benefits in the future generation and
that disagreed upon was its destruction. Community
based management of mangrove resources could create
alternate employment opportunities and livelihood
for the villagers. The impact of mangroves was most
visible in protecting the villagers against the Tsunami
of 2004. Sustainable fishing, crab fattening and
eco-tourism were found to be the potential areas of
stakeholder based co-management of the mangrove
resources.
