Machine learning algorithms were employed for predicting the feed conversion efficiency (FCE), using the blood parameters and average daily gain (ADG) as predictor variables in buffalo heifers. It was observed that isotonic regression outperformed other machine learning algorithms used in s...

Tor putitora is one of the most important coldwater fish species. The population of this fish species has declined sharply in the recent past and is threatened with multifaceted dangers. As the size of fish plays an important role in fish stock assessment, in the&#...

Forecasting retail price of agricultural commodities is of utmost importance for planning in advance to resist any abnormalities. In this regard, the autoregressive fractionally integrated moving-average (ARFIMA) model is employed. ARFIMA model searches for a non-integer differencing parameter ...

Abstract. Logistic and Gompertz growth models are fitted in growth data for Friesian × Sahiwal (F × S) and Friesian × Sahiwal × Haryana (F × S × H) breed at Agra station, Gompertz model gives better fit than Logistic model. The Generalized Least Squares (GLS)&...

SUMMARY Stayability being a binary trait in animal breeding needs thorough genetic analysis. For a true measure of stay ability this need to be adjusted for various production and reproductive traits. For estimation of heritability of stay ability this adjusted herdlife&#x...

In this study, two clones (TV1 and TV23) of tea (Camellia sinensis L.) plants were allowed to grow in earthen pots in a greenhouse, treated with municipal solid waste compost (MSWC) to study the effect of MSWC to the fractionation of chromium (Cr) ion, plant biomass ...

This paper investigates the presence of long memory both in mean and volatility in the potato prices in Agra and Amritsar markets of India, using the Autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average (ARFIMA) and Fractionally integrated generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic...

Nitrogen species such as ammonia and nitrite are considered as major stressors in modern aquaculture practices. We developed enrichments of ammonia oxidising bacteria (AOB) and nitrite oxidising bacteria (NOB) for effective mitigation of nitrogenous wastes in the shrimp culture operations. The&#x...

Parasitic infestations are frequently reported in brackishwater fish. Hence, prevention and control strategy is paramount for successful brackishwater aquaculture. Emamectin benzoate (EMB) is found to be an effective in-feed treatment for controlling several ecto-parasites in fish. The objective of th...

Solute carrier proteins (SLC) are essential membrane transport proteins responsible for transporting lipids, amino acids, sugars, neurotransmitters, and drugs across the biological membranes. Dysfunction of these carrier proteins may lead to an imbalance of biological mechanisms and also in the f...

Vibriosis is one of the major diseases of concern to the aquaculture.1 Several Vibrio spp. of harveyi clade such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio alginolyticus, Vibrio harveyi, Vibrio owensii, and Vibrio campbellii infect farmed aquatic animals.2 They affect both fish and shrimp in ma...

The physico-chemical characteristics of three different types of refined wheat flours (RWF-1, RWF-2 and RWF-3) were assessed to ascertain its suitability in shrimp feed along with three different types of whole (WWF-1, WWF-2 and WWF-3) and commercial (CWF-1, CWF-2 and CWF-3) wheat flour...

Silver moony, Monodactylus argenteus (Linnaeus, 1758), belonging to the family Monodactylidae, has high significance in the ornamental fish industry. The present study provides the details of captive broodstock maturation, induced breeding and larval rearing of this species for the first time.&#x...

Diversification of production systems has been identified as one of the major strategies for the long‐term sustainability of brackishwater aquaculture. On the context of diversification, a 180‐day culture experiment was carried out where four farming systems were tested: monoculture of mud c...

Poor understanding of the genetic and molecular basis of heat tolerance component traits is a major bottleneck in designing heat tolerant wheat cultivars. The impact of terminal heat stress is generally reported in the case of late sown wheat. In this study, our aim was t...

Four divergent rations namely low protein-low energy (LP-LE), low protein-high energy (LP-HE), high protein low energy (HP-LE) and high protein-high energy (HP-HE) were formulated to supply two levels of digestible crude protein (DCP) 100 and 75% and 2 levels of energy (TDN) 100 an...

Growing male yak calves (18) of uniform age (12-13 months of age) and body weights (154.7 kg) were randomly divided in to three groups (G1, G2 and G3) and fed with three different types of paddy straw and concentrate based mixed rations namely C1 for G1 with 100...

Yak (Bos grunniens) is a unique bovine species and considered as lifeline of highlanders. The male subfertility in yak is a matter of concern that causes huge economic loses. The spermatogenesis and male reproduction machinery are critically governed by Y-linked genes which tend to...

The reports comprises details of all activities undertaken including research, administration, finance and technical aspects during April to December'2019

Heritability is one of the most important genetic parameters widely used in plant and animal breeding genetic improvement studies. In literature several methodologies are available for estimation of heritability for different experimentalsituations. Unfortunately none ofthese provide al...

The population of the endangered coldwater fish species, Tor putitora has been sharply declined in the recent past and is threatened with multifaceted dangers. In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to develop the length-weight relationship of Tor putitora under monocult...
