Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence Gene Patterns Associated with Multi Drug Resistant Avian Pathogenic (APEC) Isolated from Broiler Chickens in India.

Unlabelled: In the present study, a total of 102 samples were collected from chickens of different flocks, died due to suspected colibacillosis. Bacteriological and PCR methods were applied to detect avian pathogenic (APEC). Phenotypic antimicrobial resistance (AMR) was determined by disk diffusion method.

Molecular identification and genetic characterization of Theileria and Anaplasma infection in sheep and goat of North Gujarat, India.

Hemoprotozoal diseases are significant health concerns in small ruminants. The present study was conducted to identify and characterize the species of Theileria and Anaplasma in sheep and goats located in different districts of North Gujarat, India. A total of 226 (Banaskantha = 175, Patan = 26, and Bhuj = 25) blood samples were collected from sheep (n = 78) and goats (n = 148), and 46 ticks were collected and identified from sheep and goats.

Analysis of association between various fertility indicators and production traits in Mehsana buffaloes.

Female fertility in domestic animals in India has exhaustively suffered owing to indiscriminate breeding with single objective of increasing milk production. First lactation data on 7782 Mehsana buffaloes sired by 184 bulls maintained under field progeny testing programme at Dudhsagar Research and Development Association, Dudhsagar Dairy, Mehsana, over a period of 24 years were used for study of fertility traits viz. days open, first to successful service period (FTSS) and daughter pregnancy rate (DPR) and production traits viz.
