Description |
Study was carried out to design and evaluate clinical application of caps for intramedullary pinning to mange long bone fractures in dogs. Cannulated cancellous caps made of 316 L stainless steel with dimensions of 10 mm × 25 mm (length) cap for 4 mm, 4.5 mm and 5 mm steinmann pin and 8 mm × 25 mm (length) cap for 2.5 mm and 3 mm steinmann pin were designed. A total of 14 cases of dogs presented with simple transverse, short oblique fractures of long bones were equally divided into groups A and B having 7 animals in each. Simple intramedullary pinning was done in group A, whereas, in group B designed caps were fixed at entry point at trochanteric fossa after intramedullary pinning to prevent proximal migration of pins. Posture, gait, perception of pain and lameness scores were assessed during 15, 30 and 60 day, postoperatively. Caps offered rigid fixation along with intramedullary pin resulting in mild or moderate callus formation. Excellent postoperative functional recovery without any pin migration, seroma formation and valgus limb deformity were observed in group B. Results of present preliminary study suggested that designed capped intramedullary pinning offers stable internal fixation and prevented pin migration, sciatic injury and seroma formation.

This population has not been characterized till date and further, if not conserved, this valuable germplasm may become unavailable for utilization. In an attempt to address this issue, a survey was conducted in order to enable phenotypic characterization of the population and to judge its eligibility as a distinct breed. Sikkimese yaks generally have black body coat with broad convex head and upward pointing curved horns and are reared in a typical transhumant fashion. The daily milk yield in the animals averages around 1.44±0.09 kg with peak yield of 1.95±0.15 kg and lactation length of seven (6.77±0.39) months. Average age at first mating and first calving in females is 42.60±0.92 and 51.55±0.93 months, respectively whereas average age at first mating in bulls is 47.82±0.37 months. These animals can work for 5.5 h per day and are extremely tolerant to cold and drought conditions. Due to the pastoral nature of this occupation, winter feed crisis, climate change events and unscientific husbandry practices threaten the existence of this unique population. Hence, characterization and registration of yak population would be the first step for conservation and sustainability of this unique germplasm.

Primers and gene construct targeting the nucleoprotein gene of PEDV were designed and synthesised. In vitro transcribed (IVT) RNA synthesised from linearised plasmid DNA containing the gene of interest was used as the positive control for the development of the RT-PCR assay. The RT-PCR protocol was optimised using different concentrations of molecular reagents, the gradient of annealing temperatures and other thermal cycling conditions. Analytical sensitivity of the RT-PCR assay was determined using 10-fold serial dilutions of the IVT-RNA directly and of the RNA extracted from swine faeces spiked with the IVT- RNA. The developed RT-PCR assay had analytical sensitivity of 939 and 2682 RNA copies at 10-7 and 10-6 dilutions in IVT-RNA directly and RNA extracted from spiked faeces, respectively. The RT-PCR assay was found to be specific for PEDV, without any amplification for classical swine fever virus, swine influenza virus, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus and transmissible gastroenteritis virus. All the known negative field faecal samples (n=126) of pigs tested negative by the developed RT-PCR. The one-step RT-PCR assay developed in the present study will be highly useful in specific diagnosis of the disease in the event of its future ingression, and will also aid in monitoring of PED in Indian swine population.

The overall prevalence rate of parasites was found to be 85.11% with 96.77% prevalence rate in donkeys followed by 86.30%, 81.52% and 75.63% in ponies, mules, and horses, respectively. Prevalence of nematode infection was very high followed by very low prevalence rate of trematodes, cestodes and protozoa. Highest infection rate was recorded in spring, followed by summer, autumn and winter. Prevalence was found to be higher in young equines as compared to adult equines and in males than females. The overall mean EPG was found to be 755.20±33.47 with the highest mean EPG recorded in summer followed by spring, autumn and lowest in winter. Higher intensity of infection was recorded in young equines compared to adults and in females in comparison to males. The different strongylid larvae identified on coprocultures were Cyathostomum spp., followed by Triodontophorus spp., Oesophagodontus spp., Trichostrongylus axei, Gyalocephalus spp., Strongylus edentatus, Poteriostomum spp., Strongylus vulgaris, S. equinus and other larvae. Based on the prevalence pattern, it was concluded that deworming of equines in Kashmir valley should be carried out at least two times a year, i.e. mid-spring (April) and mid-autumn (October) to keep the parasitic load under control.

Post-operative radiographs displayed good anatomical alignment and reduction of fracture fragments without any pin migration. All the eight dogs showed normal gait without any limp on last reappraisal day. Rush pinning yielded good clinical outcomes in the management of supracondylar femur fractures with minimum complications.

A total of 150 day old ducklings were randomly distributed to six farmers in three villages (25 number each) of Odisha state and they were guided to maintain the birds with the resources available with them. The ducklings were brooded for ten days during which they were offered boiled broken rice. Subsequently they were fed from the surroundings besides being offered kitchen wastes, left over rice, vegetable peels, fish scales, etc. The birds were utilizing the village ponds for swimming and as feeding source. A secured night shelter was provided to each flock. The growth and production performances and mortality rate were recorded to the possible extent up to 40 wks of age by the combined effort of farmer family and project personal. The income generated through sale of birds and eggs were recorded for calculation of economics. It was observed that the overall mortality rate was 12% and the birds gained the body weight of 577.69±15.88 g, 1065.31±16.36 g, 1763.33±35.17 g and 1840.64±36.30 g at 4th, 8th, 16th and 24th week of age with first egg of the flock on ~150 days. The duck village/house egg production up to 40 weeks age was found to be 51.25% with 59.43±0.50 g average egg weight on 40th week. Further, the net profit of ₹9900 was calculated for individual flock considering the income from sale of eggs and live ducks and only expenditure towards cost of day old ducklings. It was concluded that cross-bred (WP × KC) ducks are suitable for rearing in farmers’ field with a higher economic gain. |
