Published: December 2022

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of supplementation of bypass fat one month pre-parturition and three months of early lactation on milk production and reproductive performance of buffaloes. Thirty two multiparous pregnant buffaloes (2-3 lactation) were selected at farmers’ doorstep in Dahod District, Gujarat, and were divided into two equal groups, each of 16 animals, on the basis of their milk production and fat % during previous lactation. Animals in T1 group (n=16, control) were fed as per farmers’ feeding schedule, and those in T2 group were additionally supplemented with bypass fat @ 100 g/h/d during prepartum and 20 g/kg of milk yield during postpartum phase. The overall average whole milk yield (kg/head/d) of buffaloes was significantly (p<0.05) higher in bypass fat group T2 than control T1 (5.43±0.07 vs. 4.50+0.04). The fat percentage was significantly (p<0.05) higher (6.77±0.09 vs. 5.84±0.04) and SNF was lower (10.68±0.18 vs. 11.32±0.16) in bypass fat supplemented group. The average daily yields (kg/head/d) and cumulative yields (kg/head) of whole experimental period of fat, SNF, 6% FCM, SCM and ECM were significantly (P<0.05) higher in bypass fat group. However, average milk constituents, viz., total solids, protein, calcium and phosphorus were statistically similar in T1 and T2 groups. Daily feed cost (Rs. 101.66±0.45 vs. 92.98±0.64) and average realizable receipt from sale of milk (Rs. 231.12±1.46 vs. 165.88±1.39/head) were (p<0.05) higher in T2 group over control, and thus average daily profit increased per buffalo was Rs. 56.56 over control. Postpartum first heat was earlier by 14 days with significantly (p<0.05) reduced number of AIs per conception (1.63±0.13 vs. 3.88±0.20) and service period (129.46±9.61 vs 187.70±11.89 days) in bypass fat group compared to control group. The findings indicated that supplementing bypass fat to buffaloes @ 100 g/head/day one month before parturition and 20 g/kg milk yield during early lactation is advantageous in terms of increased milk yield, 6% FCM yield, with improved postpartum fertility and higher daily profit per buffalo.

Published: December 2022

This study was carried out to assess the effects of supplementation of bypass fat for one month prepartum and three months postpartum on nutrient intake and feed conversion efficiency for milk production in buffaloes. Advanced pregnant buffaloes (n=32, 2-3 parity) were selected at farmers’ doorstep, and were divided into two equal groups, each of 16 animals, on the basis of previous lactation milk production and fat %. Animals in T1 group (n=16, control) received farmers’ feeding schedule, and those in T2 group were additionally supplemented with bypass fat @ 100 g/head/d during prepartum and 20 g/kg of milk yield during early lactation. Average daily DM and DCP intake did not differ significantly in control and treatment group, whereas average daily TDN intake was found significantly higher in treatment group during postpartum phase. Whole milk yield (kg/head/d) of buffaloes in T2 group was significantly (P<0.05) higher than T1 (5.43±0.07 vs. 4.50+0.04). Feed conversion efficiency (kg intake/kg whole milk) of DM (2.40±0.04 vs. 1.99±0.02), DCP (133.50±1.84 vs. 111.56±01.20) and TDN (1.53±0.02 vs. 1.31±0.01) was superior (P<0.05) in bypass fat group, and similar was the trend for 6% FCM yield. Daily feed cost (Rs. 101.66±0.45 vs. 92.98±0.64) and average realizable receipt from sale of milk (Rs. 231.12±1.46 vs. 165.88±1.39/head) were higher (p<0.05) in T2 group over control. The findings indicated that the bypass fat supplement @ 100 g/head/day one month before parturition and 20 g/kg milk yield during early lactation to buffaloes was economically advantageous in terms of increased milk yield and better feed conversion efficiency.

Published: December 2022

Doppler ultrasound is a useful diagnostic tool to evaluate uterine blood flow in different canine reproductive states. The aim of this study was to describe and compare uterine blood flow in bitches suffering from pyometra according to the ultrasonographic appearance of uterus. Seventy-five bitches with pyometra confirmed clinically, haematologically and ultrasonographically were included in the study. Ten healthy bitches with no haematological and ultrasonographic abnormality of uterus were also included in the study as control group. The bitches with pyometra were divided into four groups based on the sonographic characterization of uterus and its luminal contents, viz., B (few small cysts, normal endometrial surface, anechoic uterine content, n=11), C (many large cysts, irregular surface and hypertrophic endometrium, n=24), DH (many large cysts, irregular surface and hypertrophic endometrium, hyperechoic content, n=31) and DA (many large cysts, irregular surface and atrophic endometrium, hyperechoic content, n=9). The uterine horn diameter and uterine wall thickness was measured with two-dimensional ultrasonography. With the use of pulsed-wave Doppler, flow velocity waveforms of uterine artery were obtained. Parameters of blood flow velocity such as peak systolic velocity (PSV), end diastolic velocity (EDV), as well as haemodynamic parameters such as resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI) and systolic-diastolic ratio (S/D) were calculated electronically. Peak systolic velocity and end diastolic velocity were significantly higher in pyometra group than control with highest velocities recorded in DA group (P<0.05). The RI, PI and S/D were significantly lower in pyometra group than in control (P<0.05). The RI was significantly lower in group C and DA compared to groups B and DH (P<0.05). However, no significant difference was reported in PI and S/D among the groups of pyometra (P>0.05).  It was concluded that the uterine artery blood flow velocity of bitches suffering from pyometra differs, not only from normal bitches, but also varies with the type of pyometra with varying pathological nature. Furthermore, haemodynamic parameters appear as useful markers to differentiate uterine pathologic conditions and to understand the pathological type of pyometra.

Published: December 2022

Aseel, a popular breed of native chicken, characterized by its pugnacity, fighting strength and royal gait is being used to create crosses for domestic chicken production. However, information on its growth models is scanty. An experiment was conducted to evaluate different non-linear models and to find out best fitting model in Aseel, being maintained at Central Avian Research Institute, Izatnagar, Bareilly. Data on body weights from 12-weeks of age to 20-weeks of age at biweekly intervals were recorded on a random bred single-hatched flock. Owing to the non-linear characteristic of growth, three non-linear models namely, Gompertz, Bertalanffy and Logistic models were evaluated. Goodness of fit for all the models were checked using coefficient of determination (R2), adjusted coefficient of determination (Adj-R2), mean square error (MSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and Akaike information criterion (AIC). The Bertalanffy model most accurately characterized the growth trend in males, females and pooled sex data. The study revealed that this model may be used to ascertain the average body weights in Aseel chicken under random mating. The investigation has generated baseline data on growth modelling of random bred groups and may be used in similar investigations on other native chicken breeds.

Pasteurella multocida is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes haemorrhagic septicaemia in cattle and buffaloes. These organisms are involved in the formation of biofilm and can evade treatment. There is no definitive study to screen the genes associated with biofilm production associated with Pasteurella multocida. The present study describes the real-time PCR based approach for screening of genes associated with biofilm formation. Out of 10 isolates screened for biofilm formation, five of them produced biofilm on Congo red agar of which all are resistant to major antibiotics especially cotrimoxazole, nalidixic acid, enrofloxacin and tetracyclines. All the isolates show presence of genes associated with biofilm formation indicating that other factors influencing the biofilm production. We suggest that the future studies may be targeted to unravel the other factors that influence the biofilm production.

Authors: Thakur Niharika , Singh Parminder , Kasrija Rajesh
Published: December 2022

The present study was undertaken to determine the predisposition of one transitional disease on the other in various dairy animals of Punjab. For this purpose, a total of 250 respondents were randomly selected and were interviewed personally from various parts of Punjab through a structured interview schedule. Among the various transitional diseases in dairy farms, anoestrus was found to be high (59.00%) followed by mastitis (52.00%).  Dystokia was found to be highly significant (p<0.01) with transitional diseases such as Retention of Placenta (ROP) and metritis. ROP had highly significant variation (p<0.01) with diseases such as dystokia, mastitis, ketosis and metritis. Anoestrus was found to be significant (p<0.05) with repeat breeding.  Ketosis was found to be highly significant with anoestrus (p<0.01). Milk fever varied significantly with dystokia and ROP (p<0.05). Metritis had significance with dystokia, mastitis, anoestrus and milk fever (p<0.01). Also, repeat breeding was highly significant (p<0.01) with mastitis. Thus, it was concluded that presence of one transitional disease can predispose the dairy animal to other transitional diseases as well.  Hence, farmers are educated on transitional disease management through training and other extension and advisory services.

Published: December 2022

Information from a reference population of animals with accurate breeding values is used to predict the genetic merit of a test population of animals for which such accurate phenotypic information is not available. For crosses, these procedures may be used to predict the proportion of genes of one breed in crossbred cattle when sets of genotypes from purebred animals are available as a reference. The genomic breed composition in 6326 HF crossbred animals (as a test population) performing in Gujarat was determined from SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphism) genotyped by INDUSCHIP array using ADMIXTURE software. The genotypes of 651 purebred indigenous and 120 exotic animals were used as reference genotype for determination of genomic breed composition. Unsupervised clustering analysis using ADMIXTURE software was carried out to infer ancestry ratios for 250 purebred animals using 14718 pruned INDUSCHIP SNPs. It showed that all the B. indicus animals were assigned to their respective breeds. A supervised clustering using 14718 INDUSCHIP variants was performed to infer breed proportions in 6326 crossbred animals with keeping K value as 9. As several indigenous breeds show evidence of admixture, the screening and selection for admixture in candidate bulls for breed purity can improve breeding programs. The average proportion of exotic inheritance was 55% in crossbred population. Hence, SNP genotyping gives opportunity to determine the exact breed proportions in crossbred animals and will be useful in regulation of exotic inheritance in the crossbred population for the optimum productivity of the animals reared by farmers.

Published: December 2022

Prototheca species is emerged as an important causative agent for bovine mastitis worldwide, and is responsible for great economic losses for dairy industry. A 5-year-old HF cow was referred to the Veterinary Clinical Complex of the College, Navsari (India) with a complaint of watery milk with flakes, anorexia and drop in milk production. On physical examination, udder appeared warm and swollen, while milk consistency was thin, watery with flakes. Milk sample obtained aseptically from the cow was inoculated aerobically on Sabouraud dextrose agar and blood agar plates.  Prototheca colonies grew in pure and luxuriant form from mastitic milk on both the plates after 48 h of incubation. Prototheca zopfii was identified on the basis of colony morphology, staining characters and biochemical reactions. Molecular confirmation of Prototheca zopfii genotype 2 was performed by employing polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This report presents first isolation and molecular identification of Prototheca zopfii genotype 2 from a case of bovine mastitis from Navsari region, South Gujarat, India.

Published: December 2022

Canine sticker cell or cell tumor or Canine transmissible venereal tumour (TVT) is a contagious naturally occurring, round cell tumour of dogs with a global prevalence of 0.5-10 % (Strakova and Murchison, 2014). The disease is spread directly between dogs by copulation-induced vaginal abrasions, and is most frequently linked to irresponsible breeding practices or a lack of adequate veterinary services (Das and Das, 2000). Additionally biting, clawing, sniffing and licking has also been linked to direct transmission (Marcos et al., 2006). It is mostly found on genitalia but can be found on other parts and cutaneous also (Goldschmidt, 2002) and is characterized by irregular, multi nodular to cauliflower- like ulcerated growth in genital or extra-genital areas (Jangir et al., 2019). In pediatric canines with immunosuppression, tumour implantation may be extensive and exhibit aggressive clinical behavior (such as rapid neoplastic development and metastasis) (Marcos et al., 2006; Stockmann et al., 2011). The disease has a very good prognosis with the right chemotherapy and supportive treatment (Preet et al., 2021). The case reported here is notable because it showed an unusual clinical presentation of multifocal cutaneous lesions of TVT with traditional diagnostic findings in a 3 month old pediatric puppy. In order to achieve the best possible patient outcomes, it is crucial to be aware of uncommon clinical presentations, be aware of your diagnostic alternatives, and be familiar with the typical diagnostic findings of TVT. Early diagnosis in this case was made possible by cytology, which was later confirmed by histology.

A magyar esetrendszer Adámi Mihály grammatikájában kontrasztív és nyelvtanítás-elméleti szempontból
Authors: Nagy Dóra
Published: December 2022

A magyar mint idegen nyelv oktatásának kezdeti korszakát 1720 és 1800 közé tehetjük (Éder 1983, p. 309). Ebben az időszakban kezdődik a magyar mint anyanyelv és a magyar mint idegen nyelv oktatásának tudatos elkülönítése. A korszak egyik meghatározó nyelvtanírója Adámi Mihály, akinek nyelvészeti munkásságába az utókor az Ausführliche und neuerläuterte ungarische Sprachkunst… vizsgálatán keresztül nyerhet mélyebb betekintést. Adámi behatóan tárgyalja a magyar névszókhoz kapcsolható esetragokat és esetragértékű posztpozíciókat. 

A magyar nyelvben a névszóragok bősége egy olyan sajátos jegy, amelynek tanítása módszertani nehézséget okozhat a nem dominánsan agglutináló anyanyelvű tanulóknak, ezért a német ajkúaknak írt nyelvkönyvekben való megjelenítésüket mindenképp érdemes alapos vizsgálódás tárgyává tenni. Bár Adámi még a Debreceni Grammatikától és Verseghy 1816-os nyelvtanától eltérően német–latin terminológiai keretben (hol négy, hol pedig a vokatívusszal együtt hat esetet említve) vizsgálja a magyar névszói paradigmát, valójában szinte minden esetragot és esetragfunkciójú névutót is számba vesz.

Kutatásaim során az Adámi-mű vizsgálata jó előkészítő esettanulmánynak bizonyult. A korpusz kontrasztív, azaz a magyar és a német esetrendszer közötti különbségekre és hasonlóságokra fókuszáló vizsgálata grammatika- és nyelvtanítás-történeti szempontból egyaránt sokat ígérő.

A Gestão Fiscal Responsável, instituída pela Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal, foi imprescindível devido aos desequilíbrios na gestão pública e à deficiência de controle dos gastos públicos. Embora a Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal tenha sido criada com o propósito de controlar os gastos e dívidas públicas e deva ser observada por todos os municípios, dado as características regionais, econômicas, institucionais, culturais e operacionais distintas entre eles, parte destes vem encontrando dificuldade em atender aos ditames da Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal. Diante do exposto, esta pesquisa buscou analisar o efeito das diferenças regionais na situação fiscal dos municípios mineiros, no período de 2006 a 2016. Para tanto, foi empregado o modelo de dados em painel dinâmico, cuja proxy da situação fiscal foi o Índice de Gestão Fiscal, proposto pela Federação da Indústria do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (Firjan), e a diferenças regionais foram captadas por meio do emprego de dummies regionais. A partir da estimação do modelo proposto, constatou-se que o fato de um município pertencer às regiões Norte e Jequitinhonha/Mucuri, consideradas pouco desenvolvidas, faz com que sua situação fiscal seja pior em comparação com os resultados alcançados pelos municípios da região Central, evidenciando que fatores distintos entre as regiões afetam os resultados fiscais dos entes públicos.

Published: December 2022

Complex systems pervade nature and form the core of many technological applications. An exciting feature of these systems is that they exhibit a wide range of temporal behaviors, ranging from collective motion, synchronization, pattern formation, and chaos, among others. This has not only caught the attention of scientists, but also the interest of a wider audience. Consequently, our goal in this work is to provide a simple but descriptive explanation of some concepts related to complex systems. Specifically, the reader embarks on a journey that begins in the 17th century with the discovery of synchronization by Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens and ends in the chaotic world explored by meteorologist Edward Lorenz around 1963. The journey is filled with examples, including synchronized clocks and metronomes, electronic fireflies that flash harmoniously, and even a chaotic dress.

Published: December 2022

Abstract Health problems which can be treated exclusively by surgical means are relatively uncommon in fish. Fish surgery feat is vital essential and inevitable for the at fish diseases treatment and fish recovery. Consequently, only a limited number of procedures have been developed and reported in the literature. Despite use of analogous surgical instruments and surgical techniques to those employed in other animals, fish are a very diverse taxon and specific anatomy and physiology should be reviewed before surgical procedures are performed. Surgical planning often requires advanced diagnostics such as ultrasonography and imaging. Essantial surgical procedures include cutaneous and intracoelomic mass excision, ophthalmic procedures, reproductive surgery, brain surgery, visceral organs surgery, gastrointestinal foreign body removal, visceral organs examples, and buoyancy concerns. This article reviews several surgical procedures that have been performed in fish and highlight various aspects of surgical care which relate specifically to fishes. In this review article, administration of sedation and anesthesia, anaesthetic agents, pain in fish, obtrusive fish cases surgery, fish cases surgery operations examples, frequently used anesthetics and preoperative considerations, underwater surgery, out of water surgery, specific surgery procedures, microsurgery techniques, laparoscopy, catheter implantation and laparotomy were discussed for fish researchers. Suggestions for appropriate postoperative management are also discussed.

Published: December 2022

Liver disease account for a reasonable percentage of medical admissions, and the synthetic drugs used for the treatment of the disease are sometimes ineffective and/or very expensive. Furthermore, the side effects associated with some of them are numerous. These and many other reasons shifted the interest of scientists for the search of plants with hepatocurative effect. Therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate the curative effect of aqueous extract of date fruit (Phoenix dactylifera) on rats with carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity. The serum level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), direct bilirubin (DB) and total bilirubin (TB) were measured as markers of liver disease using standard methods, and compared among group I (Negative control), group II (Positive control), group III (Fed with food + 249mg/kg of extract), group IV (Fed with food + 580mg/kg of extract), group V (hepatotoxic rats treated with 249mg/kg of extract) and group VI (hepatotoxic rats treated with 580mg/kg of extract). The results showed that administration of the various concentration of the extract to healthy rats does not cause any harm to the liver. Also, the different concentrations of the extract significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the level of ALT, AST, ALP, DB and TB in treated groups (group IV and V) compared to group II. These results suggest that the aqueous extract of date fruit may have hepatocurative effect against CCl4-induced liver damage in rats. This research may open the “gate” for the use of date fruit in treating liver disease in human, especially in places such as Northern Nigeria, where date fruit is cheaply abundant.

Published: December 2022

This rapid living scoping review provides an up-to-date map of the latest published evidence, and identifies research gaps regarding the treatment and management for post–COVID-19 condition.

Most of the included studies were from a few countries, particularly the US, the UK, and Canada. Also, most of the studies were case reports or series, meaning they included few participants.

Most of the identified published research on treatments for post‒COVID-19 condition focused on:

vaccines administered 3 months after initial infection

pharmacological interventions for cardiovascular, neurological, and pulmonary symptoms and diagnoses

non-pharmacological interventions for pulmonary symptoms.

There were fewer studies related to other types of symptoms and organ systems.

There were notable evidence gaps across all treatments for post–COVID-19 condition, as noted by most of the evidence being from case reports, in which physicians may more often report patients with uncommon symptoms or diagnoses.

Published: December 2022

Abstract. Dicarboxylic acids are ubiquitous in atmospheric aerosol
particles, but their roles as surfactants in cloud condensation nuclei (CCN)
activity remain unclear. In this study, we investigated CCN activity of
inorganic salt (sodium chloride and ammonium sulfate) and dicarboxylic acid
(including malonic acid (MA), phenylmalonic acid (PhMA), succinic acid (SA),
phenylsuccinic acid (PhSA), adipic acid (AA), pimelic acid (PA), and
octanedioic acid (OA)), mixed particles with varied organic volume fractions
(OVFs), and then directly determined their surface tension and phase state at
high relative humidity (over 99.5 %) via atomic force microscopy (AFM). Our
results show that CCN-derived κCCN of studied dicarboxylic
acids ranged from 0.003 to 0.240. A linearly positive correlation between
κCCN and solubility was obtained for slightly dissolved
species, while negative correlation was found between κCCN and
molecular volume for highly soluble species. For most inorganic
salts and dicarboxylic acids (MA, PhMA, SA, PhSA and PA), a good closure within
30 % relative bias between κCCN and chemistry-derived
κChem was obtained. However, κCCN values of
inorganic salt–AA and inorganic salt–OA systems were surprisingly 0.3–3.0 times higher than κChem, which was attributed to surface
tension reduction, as AFM results showed that their surface tensions were
20 %–42 % lower than that of water (72 mN m−1). Meanwhile,
semisolid phase states were obtained for inorganic salt–AA and inorganic
salt–OA and also affected hygroscopicity closure results. Our study
highlights that surface tension reduction should be considered when
investigating aerosol–cloud interactions.
An age scale for new climate records from Sherman Island, West Antarctica

Published: December 2022

Abstract. Few ice cores from the Amundsen and Bellingshausen Sea sectors of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) extend back in time further than a few hundred years. The WAIS is believed to be susceptible to collapse as a result of anthropogenic climate change and may have at least partially collapsed in the past. Understanding the stability of the WAIS during warm periods such as the LIG and Holocene is important. As part of the WACSWAIN project, the British Antarctic Survey's (BAS) Rapid Access Isotope Drill (RAID) was deployed in 2020 on Sherman Island in the Abbott Ice Shelf. We drilled a 323 m deep borehole, with discrete samples of ice chippings collected covering the entire depth range of the drilled ice. The samples were analysed for stable water isotope composition and major ion content at BAS from 2020–2022. Using annual layer counting of chemical records, volcanic horizon identification and modelling, an age scale for the record of 1724 discrete samples is presented. The Sherman Island ice record extends back to greater than 1150 years before present, providing the oldest, continuous, ice-derived palaeoclimate records for the coastal Amundsen-Bellingshausen Sea sectors to date. We demonstrate the potential for recovery of a complete Holocene climate record from Sherman Island in the future, and confidence in the ability of RAID samples to contain sufficiently resolved records for meaningful climatic interpretation.

Published: December 2022

Abstract. The history of Earth is a story of co-evolution of minerals and microbes: not only numerous rocks arisen from life, but the life itself may have formed from rocks. To understand the strong association between microbes and inorganic substrates, we investigated the moonmilk, a speleothem of calcium carbonate of microbial origin, present in the Iron Age Etruscan Necropolis of Tarquinia, in Italy. These tombs present a unique environment where the hypogeal walls of the tombs are covered by this speleothem. To study moonmilk formation, we investigated the bacterial community in the rock in which the tombs are carved: calcarenite and hybrid sandstone. We present the first evidence that moonmilk precipitation is driven by microbes within the rocks and not only on the rock surfaces. We also describe how the moonmilk produced within the rocks contributes to rock formation and evolution. The microbial communities of the calcarenite and hybrid sandstone displayed, at phylum level, the same microbial pattern of the moonmilk sampled from the walls of the hypogeal tombs, pointing out that the moonmilk originates from the metabolism of endolytic bacterial community. The calcite speleothem moonmilk is the only known carbonate speleothem on Earth with undoubted biogenic origin, thus representing a robust and credible biosignature of life. Its presence in the inner parts of rocks adds to its characteristics as a biosignature.

Published: December 2022

Rabbits in Argentina are mostly produced by rural farmers who maintain small-scale operations for meat and complements other farm activities. The main meats consumed in Argentine are beef (46.1 kg/per capita/year), poultry (45.2 kg/per capita/year), pork (14.6 kg/per capita/year) and sheep (1.06 kg/per capita/year); respect to rabbit meat, not exceed 2 g/per capita/year. The objective of this study was to analyze the economic efficiency and feed cost of rabbit production for meat in a small-scale farm of Argentina. The global FCR was of 5.7, and an average of 15.9 kg/animal were required to produce live weight of slaughtered one rabbit of 2.85 kg. The average of rabbit price/feed price and the relation of rabbit meat price/feed price was of ratio was of 15.2 and 10.8 respectively. The global FCR worsens when the productivity values are lower than 2.5 animals/doe/month. The profit obtained for each commercialized rabbit was very low (USD 0.06/animal). Within the strategies to develop the productive chain of rabbit meat in Argentina, it should aim to stimulate the consumption habit promoting the high nutritional quality of the meat, improve the superior price ratio with respect to other meats such as chicken and pork.
