Use of bullocks for agricultural work is limited to tillage, sowing and transportation. The total annual use of bullocks in the state of Odisha is less than 300 hours. But the potential use of bullocks in a year is nearly 800 hours. To enhance the utilization of bullock in the state, there is the need of using bullock power operated stationary machines requiring around 1 hp (0.8 kW) power for doing various post harvest operations like paddy threshing, paddy winnowing, chaff cutting, sugarcane crushing, groundnut decortications, oil expelling, pulse milling and dehusking etc. This would ultimately reduce the economic burden of owning a pair of bullocks. With this aim, a study was conducted for operating a groundnut decorticator cum cleaner with the help of a rotary gear complex, installed in the premises of College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology (CAET), Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar, Odisha. The experiment was conducted continuously for 3 hours with the measurement of physiological responses like respiration rate, heart rate, body temperature etc. of the medium sized non-descript breed of bullocks (pair weight of bullocks 620 kg) of Odisha at half an hour interval and calculation of fatigue score to know their comfortable working without inflicting any health hazards. The bullocks were observed to be loaded with 11.29 % of their body weight in operating the groundnut decorticator cum cleaner and their speed was also measured. The draft and power delivered by the pair of bullocks were as well calculated. The groundnut decorticator cum cleaner was run with a pair of bullocks in rotary mode of operation and two persons were employed for the purpose. The output capacity of groundnut decorticator in rotary mode was observed to be 49 kg per hour as against 60 kg/h in electrically operated motor. The costs of operation in rotary mode and in electrically operated motor were calculated to be Rs. 118.40/quintal and Rs. 63.50/quintal, respectively.Keywords

The present utilization of draught animals for agricultural operations is declining mainly due to drudgery involved in the use of animal operated traditional tools and implements. The younger generations show resistance to walk behind the animals for field operations and instead prefer tractor/mechanical powered implements for cultivation. However, considering the merits of animal based farming system, the younger generation need to be educated and motivated for improved use of work animals including the byproduct utilization for higher economics. Improved riding type cultivation equipment for multiple cropping, single/paired animal carting, pack load transport, rotary mode operation for agro processing equipments, electricity generation, water lifting and by-product utilization for organic farming are the pertinent avenues to increase the potential use of animal power which would ultimately reduce the demand for additional electrical and mechanical power in agricultural farming system resulting into savings of fossil fuels and electricity for other requirements. Use of animal energy in Indian agriculture may remain as a continuing priority for small farms due to prevailing land holding pattern, socio-economic condition of farmers and ecological compulsions.Keywords

Studies were conducted on a two row semi-automatic vegetable transplanter to determine the optimum funnel side slope angle in the feeding and metering mechanism at different seedling ages and different types of seedlings. The optimum side slope of the funnel has been decided by laboratory experimentation so that not a single seedling sticks to the funnel side after being dropped from the finger tray of the feeding mechanism. The experiments have been designed as a three Factors Complete Randomized Design with four replications. It was found that, at funnel side slope angle of less than 75° with the horizontal, the per cent of seedlings slipped into the drop tube decreased as the length of seedlings increased. At side angle of funnel of 75° and more, 100 per cent seedlings were slipped into the drop tube irrespective of crop and size of seedlings. Behaviours of different crops were found to be different below 75°. The crop with less foliar development such as chilli slipped more easily than other crops having more foliar development such as brinjal. So a funnel side slope angle of 75° has been taken as optimum to ensure cent per cent slippage of seedling from side of the funnel to the dropping tube for all crops under study.Keywords

The objective of the study was to evaluate the influence of stocking density on growth performance of vencobb commercial broiler reared upto 46 days under deep litter system. The birds were fed adlib with commercial broiler feed. Deep litter rearing arrangements were prepared 2 days prior to the arrival of chicks. Vaccination, housing, feeding and watering was done as per standard. A total of 120, day old chicks were divided in three equal groups (I, II and III) with 40 birds in each group. The birds were reared under stocking densities of 16 birds/m2 (group I), 12 birds/m2 (group II) and 8 birds/m2 (group III). Feed consumption was significantly (p<0.01) higher under stocking densities of 12 birds/m2 and 8 birds/m2 as compared to stocking density of 16 birds/m2. Average live weight and carcass weight were significantly (p<0.01) higher under stocking density of 12 birds/m2. There was no significant difference in the feed conversion ratio (FCR) among all three groups. Dressing percentage was better with low stocking density of 12 birds/m2 (71.05±2.98) and 8 birds/m2 (72.29±1.04) as compared to high stocking density (16 birds/m2). In group I, feed consumption was positively correlated with live weight (r=0.87), FCR (r=0.67) and dressing percentage (r=0.90) and carcass weight (r=0.91). Live weight was positively correlated with FCR (r=0.79), dressing percentage (r=0.90) and carcass weight (r=0.86). FCR was positively correlated with dressing percentage (r=0.90) and carcass weight (r=0.84). Dressing percentage was positively correlated with carcass weight (r=0.92). In group II, feed consumption was positively correlated (p<0.01) with live weight (r=0.97), FCR (r=0.98) and dressing percentage (r=0.96) and carcass weight (r=0.91). Live weight was positively correlated with FCR (r=0.97), dressing percentage (r=0.90) and carcass weight (r=0.93). FCR was positively correlated with dressing percentage (r=0.90) and carcass weight (r=0.92). Dressing percentage was positively correlated with carcass weight (r=0.98). In group III, feed consumption was positively correlated (p<0.01) with live weight (r=0.82), FCR (r=0.79) and dressing percentage (r=0.92) and carcass weight (r=0.91). Live weight was positively correlated with FCR (r=0.81), dressing percentage (r=0.79) and carcass weight (r=0.81). FCR was positively correlated with dressing percentage (r=0.83) and carcass weight (r=0.81). Dressing percentage was positively correlated with carcass weight (r=0.89).Keywords

Background- India is high TB burden, high HIV burden and high MDR TB burden country. Nurses are the backbone of any health care delivery system. Nurse's knowledge and attitude is crucial for achievement of targets of TB control.
Objectives- To assess the learning needs, knowledge and attitude of nurses for tuberculosis. To evaluate factors affecting knowledge and attitude.
Methodology - Three different tools, one to assess learning needs, second was knowledge questionnaire with six domains. and third attitude scale was used . Content validity and reliability of all tools were established before data collection. Subjects were 400 nurses working in tertiary care TB institutions.
Results -20% nurses expressed that they knew about category 4 treatment, its regimes and records and reports related to RNTCP. Remaining 80% have expressed the desire to learn these areas. About 30% nurses expressed that they have knowledge regarding ACMS, regimens of treatment , diagnosis of tuberculosis as per RNTCP guidelines. 50% nurses expressed that they have learnt about history, etiology and pathphysiology, side effects of ATT, categories of treatment and role of nurse for TB patient.
Mean knowledge score was 31.54 out of 50 (63.08%). Knowledge was the lowest in the programmatic aspect of RNTCP domain (49.40%) followed by prevention of TB (58%) drug resistant TB (63%),treatment of drug resistant TB (63%) and basics of drug sensitive TB (73%). Demographic variables such as age, gender, qualification, designation did not affect the total knowledge score but source of learning, training and experience has affected the knowledge score. Mean attitude score was 69.77±8.0. Demographic variables did not affect the attitude score except qualification.
Conclusion - Though nurses had fairly good knowledge regarding drug sensitive TB, they need to be updated for drug resistant TB.

Mining operations is essential for economic development of a country but it adversely affects the environment. All iron and manganese deposits of Keonjhar district are located in a hilly terrain that is thickly forested. Due to complex system of operation and a site-specific activity it directly responsible for Landuse and Landcover changes over an area in due course. The process of landuse and landcover change starts at the commencement of the mining operation due to need of development of approach road and unplanned land use for ancillary activities. During the mining operation and post processing phases, nearby area being dumped with rock waste, tailings etc which modify the Landuse pattern. This is due to rampant and unscientific mining activities; as a result it created various geomorphological features. Remote Sensing and GIS techniques can help for Landuse/Landcover (LULC) mapping and change detection study which can provide appropriate and huge information to various field and decision making systems for natural resource management and sustainable development. Landsat satellite datas due to its free availability, it has extensive use in LULC change detection. Numbers of methodology and techniques like image processing, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Image Ratio Method (IRM) and Normalise Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) has been utilized in the present study. A detailed study has been undertaken by using Landsat satellite data and extensive field visits carried out to accomplish the landuse and landcover changes has been made in the study area due to mining activities.Keywords
