Abstract

Ethnobotanical studies were carried out during 1995-2001 in the Eastern Ghats region of Andhra Pradesh covering Chittoor, Cuddapah, East Godavari, Guntur, Khammam, Krishna, Kurnool, West Godavari & Visakhapatnam districts and the tribal populations of Chenchus, Erukalas, Koyas, Konda Reddis, Lambda's (Sugalis), Nukadoras, Valmikis and Yanadis. The studies brought to light the ethnic uses of 21 epiphytic and terrastrial orchids. They are Acampe praemorsa, Bulbophyllum neilgherrense, Cymbidium aloifolium, Dendrobium herbaceum, D. macrostachyum, Eulophia epidendria, Geodorum densiflorum, Habenaria fursifera, H. longicorniculata, H. plan-taginea, H. roxburghii, Luisia zeylanica, Malaxis acuminata, M. rheedii, Nervilia aragoana, N. plicata, Oberonia wightiana, Peristylus lawii, Pholidota imbricata, Yanda tesellata and V. testacea.

Abstract

The life forms represented in the vegetation of Marriguda RF of Khammam District of Andhra Pradesh are Mesophanerophytes (24.4%) , Microphanerophytes (18%) , Nanophanerophytes (5.1%) , Chamaephytes (9%) , Hemicryptophytes (6.2%) , Geophytes (11%) , Therophytes (23%) , lianas (2.2%) , parasites (0.7%) and epiphytes (0.3%). Biological spectrum of the area is Phanerophytic. The dominance ofphanerophytes appears to be due to high rainfall , temperature and low biotic pressure. The biological spectrum of Marriguda RF is compared with Raunkiaer's normal spectrum and two local environments.

Abstract

Thirty seven genotypes were screened against stem fly during Kharif 2006 and 2007 seasons. The genotypes NRC-55, NRC-51, NRC-52 and DSb-101 were recorded significantly lower stem fly incidence and stem tunnelling per cent compared to rest of the genotypes. The promising MACS-798, MACS-740, MACS-817 and DSb-102 were also recorded stem fly incidence and stem tunnelling and found next best to NRC's and DSb-101 genotypes but proved superior over national check. The genotypes MAS-2000-1 and KHSb-2 were recorded higher stem fly incidence and stem tunnelling and found significantly inferior among the genotypes. Among the genotype NRC-55, NRC-51, and Dsb-101 were categorized as resistant. Moderately resistant genotypes include, MACS-798, MACS-740, MACS-817, NRC-52 and DSb-102 and susceptible genotypes includes MAS-2000-1 and KHSb-2. Further remaining twenty seven genotypes were categorized as moderately susceptible.

Abstract

A roving survey was undertaken in four districts of major soybean growing areas of northern Karnataka viz., Dharwad, Belgaum, Bagalkot and Bidar during Kharif 2006 and 2007. The average higher per cent stem fly incidence of 63.48 and 61.80 was recorded in Belgaum and Bidar districts, respectively. The lower stem fly incidence (12.67%) was recorded in Dharwad district and moderate incidence (22.91%) was noticed in Bagalkot district. The average higher per cent stem tunnelling of 29.83 and 28.69 was recorded in Belgaum and Bidar district, receptively. The moderate (10.57%) stem tunnelling was in Bagalkot district, while it was lower (8.17%) stem tunnelling in Dharwad district.

Abstract

This study was designed to evaluate efficacy of polyherbal hypocholesterolemic supplement AV/HLP/16 (test compound) on serum and egg yolk cholesterol levels and egg quality parameters in layers. One hundred and twenty healthy White Leghorn (BV 300 strain) of 54 weeks age were randomly divided into four treatments (T₀, T₁, T₂, T₃); subdivided into three replicates with ten birds in each replicate for a period of five weeks (54^th to 58^th weeks of age). T₀ was the control supplied with commercial basal diet without addition of test compound. T₁, T₂ and T₃ were supplemented with test compound in basal diet @ 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 kg/ton of feed, respectively. Weekly feed intake, daily egg production, egg weights, egg yolk total cholesterol, egg weight, shape index, yolk weight, albumen weight, shell weight, shell thickness was recorded. Significant reduction in serum cholesterol and egg yolk cholesterol (P<0.05) was observed in treatment groups. Polyherbal AV/HLP/ 16 supplementation in layers did not impart any beneficial or deleterious effect on feed intake, feed efficiency, hen day egg production or egg quality traits viz., egg weight, shape index, yolk weight, and albumen weight except shell thickness. Polyherbal hypocholesterolemic supplement AV/HLP/16 @ 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 kg per ton of feed reduced egg yolk cholesterol with better egg shell thickness without affecting the performance as well as egg quality parameters in layers.

Abstract

Twenty four Osmanabadi weaned male kids with average live weight of 10.80 kg (5-6 months old) were divided into four equal groups in a Randomized Block Design and fed with water washed neem (Azadirachta indica) seed cake (WWNSC) and salt (2%) sprinkled neem (Azadirachta indica) leaves for 182 days to study the effect on blood parameters, feed conversion efficiency and economics of feeding. The kids (T₀) were fed with control diet without WWNSC and salt sprinkled neem leaves, (T₁) WWNSC (1_{5% DCP) individually, (T2) salt sprinkled neem leaves individually (15% DCP), (T3) WWNSC (15% DCP) in combination with salt sprinkled neem leaves (15% DCP) as a protein source along with concentrate mixture, green maize and ad libitum sorghum kadbi. The concentration of blood parameter (Blood glucose, total serum protein and heamoglobin) did not differ significantly (P<0.01) among all treatments groups. However, its concentrations increased throughout experimental period in all treatments group including control. While, Blood urea nitrogen concentration was significantly (P<0.05) higher in group fed with salt sprinkled neem leaves than group fed with WWNSC individually and in combination with salt sprinkled neem leaves while comparable with control groups. The feed conversion efficiency (FCE) for dry matter, DCP and TDN was comparatively higher in groups fed with salt sprinkled neem leaves individually than groups fed with WWNSC individually and in combination with salt sprinkled neem leave when compare with control groups. The feeding cost per kg live weight gain was comparatively less (Rs. 150.73) in group fed with salt sprinkled neem leaves individually than groups fed with control diet (Rs. 164.08) and group fed with WWNSC individually (Rs. 183.10) while comparable to groups fed with WWNSC and salt sprinkled neem leaves (Rs. 157.55) in combination. It concluded that, feeding of salt sprinkled neem leaves individually (15% DCP) was comparatively more economical than rest of all treatments groups without adverse effect on blood parameter.}

Abstract

Listeria monocytogenes is an important foodborne pathogen responsible for septicaemia, meningitis and abortions. There are several animal reservoirs; however, the role of wild animals and peridomestic birds remains underestimated. We have screened 270 faecal samples of wild animals in captivity (18 species) and peridomestic birds (12 species). Listeria species were isolated from seven (6.66%) mammals and two (1.21%) birds. L. monocytogenes was isolated from barking deer, porcupine, pigeon and crow. Isolated L. monocytogenes were virulent strains of 4b serogroup. There is a need to explore the role of such nonconventional sources in the spread of L. monocytogenes in nature.
