Effect of Incorporation of Fenugreek and Coriander Leaves on Nutritional Quality of Broken Basmati Rice Far-Far (Fryums)
The greatest challenge to the food sector has been the development of new products incorporating unexploited vegetables with minimal impact on their pre-determined structures and adding nutritional quality. In order to add value and develop better alternatives, this work was aimed to study the stability of far far (fryums) developed with basmati rice brokens, fenugreek and coriander leave powder. The physico-chemical analysis of fryums showed that treatment T1 (100:0:0::broken basmati rice flour:green leaf powder:pearl millet flour) recorded the maximum oil absorption index (g/g) 1.230, whereas, T7 (70:12:18::broken basmati rice flour:green leaf powder:pearl millet flour) observed the maximum water absorption index (g/g) 4.10, crude protein (13.22%), crude fat (2.49%), total ash (1.27%) and crude fibre (4.74%), respectively. On the basis of sensory evaluation, the far far (fryums) developed from treatment T4 (85:6:9::broken basmati rice flour:green leaf powder:pearl millet flour) were adjudged as superior scoring 8.02 for overall acceptability score. Thus, broken basmati rice flour, green leaf powder and pearl millet flour can be blended in the proportion of 85:6:9 for development of nutritious fibre enriched fryums.
Effect of Immunomodulatory Diet on Uterine Involution and Postpartum Reproductive Performance in Dairy Cows at Southern Districts of Tamil Nadu
This study was conducted in 36 multiparous Cross Bred Jersey cows at Tirunelveli and Thoothukudi districts of Tamil Nadu state in India from the day of calving up to day 45 post-partum with the aim to assess the effect of an immunomodulatory diet on postpartum uterine involution, follicular dynamics, and reproductive performance by using trans-rectal ultrasonography (TRUS). Animals were divided into three groups on the basis of feeding viz. Group I (n=12), as control, Group II (n=12), was fed with conventional balanced feed and Group III (n=12), was fed with an immunomodulatory diet with flax seed and the inclusion of organic minerals and supplements. TRUS was performed on day 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, and 42 to assess the uterine involution and elimination of bacterial contamination. Further, USG was also performed on day 7, 10,13,16,19, 22, 25, 28, 31, 34, 37, 40, 43, and 45 to assess follicular dynamics. All animals were subjected to estrus synchronization by using the CIDR protocol and performance parameters were recorded. This study revealed that uterine involution was significantly faster (P<0.01) in Group III than in Group I and II. PMN % was significantly lower (P<0.01) in Group III followed by Group II and I. Further, the emergence of 1st Follicular wave and ovulation was significantly (P<0.01) earlier in Group III than in Group I and II, and the intensity of estrum and conception rate was significantly higher (P<0.01) in Group III as compared to Group I and II. The number of AI per conception was significantly lower (P<0.01) in animals fed with immunomodulatory feed than in the other two groups.
Investigation OF Antioxidant, Anticoagulant, and Thrombolytic Activities OF Santolina chamaecyparissus
This study investigated the influence of polyphenol chemicals from Santolina chamaecyparissus and its fractions (SCE) on antioxidant, anticoagulant, and thrombolytic capacities. Polyphenols were extracted using 85% methanol and partitioned with different solvents. The antioxidant activity of SCE was assessed using OH° and ABTS free radical scavenging assays. Anticoagulant and thrombolytic activities were determined in healthy human volunteers. In silico studies employed molecular docking and ADMET tests to examine the interaction of isolated polyphenols with coagulation protein factor Xa. The EAE fraction exhibited the highest total polyphenol content and demonstrated strong scavenging activity against ABTS and OH° radicals. EAE significantly prolonged clotting times, outperforming the standard Plavix, and showed superior clot lysis compared to standard citrate. Molecular docking analysis revealed that Rutin, apigenin-7-o-neohesperidoside, luteolin 7-glucoside, and Lonicerin had high affinity for Factor Xa, surpassing Plavix. Further investigations are needed to evaluate the potential of EAE as an alternative or adjunct therapeutic option.
Oxidative Stress Biomarkers could be used an aid to Assess the Effectiveness of the Therapy for Open Cervix Pyometra in Canine
The present study was conducted in eighteen bitches aged between 2 and 6 years brought to Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital, Chennai and diagnosed with open cervix pyometra. Group I (n=6) bitches were treated with Cloprostenol @ 5 µg/kg bwt SC and cabergoline @ 5 µg/kg bwt orally once daily for 7 days. Group II (n=6) bitches were treated Dinoprost tromethamine intravaginally in to the vaginal lumen at the dose rate of 150 µg/kg bwt for 7 days. Group III (n=6) bitches were treated surgically by ovariohysterectomy. Group IV (n=6) served as healthy control group. Serum samples were collected from all bitches at weekly intervals and serum levels of oxidative stress markers (Superoxide dismutase, Glutathione peroxidase, Catalase, Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) were analysed using ELISA method. Results showed reduced levels of antioxidant enzymes and elevated levels of lipid peroxidation metabolite (TBARS) in all the treatment groups. Oxidative stress was reduced by 3 weeks in all treatment groups. Hence, it was concluded that pyometra produces predominant oxidative stress and surgical treatment of pyometra reduced oxidative stress to much better extent when compared to medical treatment.
Multivariate Analysis of Morpho-physiological Traits In Advance Lines of Bread Wheat
Awareness of genetic diversity in wheat is crucial for the selection of parental genotypes that could yield heterotic combinations. So, the purpose of this study is to assess the genetic diversity of forty wheat advance lines chosen from diverse geographic regions. Field experimentation was carried out at Wheat and barley Section, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, CCS HAU, Hisar during Rabi, 2019-20 with three replications. The data were recorded for 15 different morpho-physiological parameters. The results revealed that first seven PCs with Eigen values >1 contributed to 75.54 % of the variance among genotypes. Among these PC1 contributes to the greatest variation (23.39%) followed by PC2 (12.10%) and PC3 (10.83%). Maximum positive component loading towards PC1 was contributed by NDVI, SL/S, ET/m, G/S, DH and DM. Maximum number of positive component loading for PC2 was contributed by HI, TGW and GY/P. Cluster analysis divides the experimental material into five major clusters with cluster Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ possessed nine genotypes in each. Higher inter-cluster distance was observed than intra-cluster distance. The maximum intra-cluster distance was observed in cluster Ⅲ (49.83) and the maximum inter cluster distance was observed between cluster Ⅰ and cluster V (88.22). Based on current study, it can be suggested that the important morpho-physiological traits could serve as effective phenotypic markers for the selection of high-yielding wheat varieties, while the genotypes from clusters I and V with the most diverse parents could be used in the hybridization programme to develop the most promising hybrids.
