ABSTRACT: The study was conducted to determine the productive performance and profitability of small scale broiler farming at rural households carried out with or without management intervention during rainy season . Twelve thousand six hundred day old chicks were procured from a commercial hatchery and distributed into 36 farms of which18 farmers in six treatment groups (100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 birds) were allowed to manage their farms in their own way while the other 18 were in six treatment groups (100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 birds) trained on the basic principles of broiler farm operation, management and procedure of record keeping. Six groups, each of the three farmers (18 farmers) were provided training whereas another six groups, each of three treatment groups.........

ABSTRACT: The study was conducted to determine the productive performance and profitability of small-scale broiler farming at rural households carried out with or without management intervention during winter. Twelve thousand six hundred day old chicks were procured from a commercial hatchery and distributed into 36 farms of which18 farmers in six treatment groups (100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 birds) were allowed to manage their farms in their own way while the other 18 were in six treatment groups (100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 birds) trained on the basic principles of broiler farm operation, management and procedure of record keeping. Six groups, each of the three farmers (18 farmers) were provided training whereas another six groups, each of three treatment groups (18 farmers) were considered from non-trained section for comparison. Each and every trained farm owners took care of chicks...........

ABSTRACT: The most production constrain on Vanilla planifolia plantation recently has been caused by foot rot disease that later influence in decreasing the yield product. This disease is caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vanillae (Fov). So far, the disease has not been successfully prohibited although some experiments had been conducted. The use of foot rot resistant cultivar has been introduced, which has high yield expected as one alternative method for controlling this disease. A resistant vanilla plantlet to Fov has been initiated by in vitro selection on medium containing fusaric acid (FA) on different concentration (90, 100, 110, and 120 ppm). In vivo, inoculation of Fov fungal isolates in vanilla mutants has been performed previously. The long-term goal in the overall study was to obtain Fov-resistant mutant seedlings. Specific targets to be achieved were characterization of V. planifolia mutant by in vivo............

ABSTRACT: Several enteropathogens are associated with diarrhoea in adult ruminants & newborn calves. Their relative prevalence varies geographically, but the most prevalent infections in most areas are Bacterial, Viral, Parasitic and Protozoal.Specific therapy and prevention are detailed under the individual headings. Out of all the combinations, Norfloxacin and Tinidazole is found to be most effective treatment in bacterial and protozoal diarrhoea. Also herbs like Aeglemarmelos (Belgiri), Acacia catechu (Kattha) and Zingiberofficinale (Sonth) showing significant results in the treatment of diarrhoea in ruminants.
