Studies on mass multiplication of arbuscular mycorrhiza in different substrates
The current study was undertaken to investigate the mass multiplication of different combinations of three arbuscular mycorrhizal isolates (Glomus, Acaulospora and Scutellospora) in three different substrates (Soil:FYM, Soil:Vermiculite and Soil:Sand) in terms of root colonization (%) and spore quantification using lemon grass as host plant. Lemon grass raised in Soil:Vermiculite treated with the combination of all three isolates (ie., Gl+Ac+Sc) recorded the highest root colonization (99.99%) and maximum spore density of 121.10 per 10 g of soil. Root colonization and spore count were high positively correlated with each other (0.996). Thus, the present study might be significant as it suggests an economical as well as eco-friendly highly effective inoculum.
Diversity of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal spores in different Mulberry growing soils of Tamil Nadu in relation to soil physico-chemical properties
The study was undertaken to investigate the impact of physico-chemical properties of soil on spore density, root colonization and distribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal species associated with mulberry (Morus sp.) from ten districts of Tamil Nadu, India. The AM spore density and root colonization were high positively correlated with N (r = 0.742 and 0.785 respectively), P (r = 0.877 and 0.857 respectively), K (r = 0.944 and 0.929 respectively) and OC (r = 0.939 and 0.956 respectively), less positively correlated with EC (r = 0.018 and 0.002 respectively) and negatively correlated with pH (r = -0.381 and -0.295 respectively). Out of the native AM fungi identified, Glomus was found to be predominant followed by Acaulospora and Scutellospora. Our findings highlight the relationship between soil nutrients and AM fungi, and hence provide an insight into the potential use of AM fungi for the growth and development of mulberry.
Acute Oral Toxicity Study of Phytogenic Feed Additives loaded Herbosome formulation in Wistar Albino Rats
An experimental study was conducted to assess the acute oral toxicity of a phytogenic feed additives loaded herbosome formulation, following OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) toxicity guidelines 423. The formulation consisted of a scientifically developed combination of herbs, including Asparagus racemosus, Withania somnifera, Tinospora cordifolia, Phyllanthus emblica, Cinnomomum zeylanicum, Peuraria tuberose, Allium sativum, and piper nigrum in equal parts as poly herbal extract, combined with Phosphatidyl choline (1:3 ratio). Female Wistar Albino rats (n=6) were orally administered a dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Animals were observed for signs of toxicity, and body weight parameters were measured. No abnormal signs or symptoms were observed, and no mortality occurred during the study, indicating the safety of the formulation. The study, conducted in accordance with OECD guidelines 423, demonstrates the safe use of the phytogenic feed additives loaded herbosome formulation in Wistar rats. These findings suggest its potential as a safe and effective feed additive. Further investigations are required to explore its long-term effects and efficacy in different animal species. Overall, this study contributes to the understanding of the acute oral toxicity profile of the phytogenic feed additives loaded herbosome formulation.
Diversity in lentil (Lens culinaris M.) based over molecular markers
The present study entitled as “Diversity in Lentil (Lens culinaris M.) based over Morphological and Molecular Markers” was carried out using 30 diverse varieties/strains for seed yield and its components. The material was planted during rabi, 2013-14, at Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur and Agriculture Research Station, Kota. Observations were recorded for 10 yield contributing characters and seed protein content. Genetic divergence [15] was computed for each location separately and over pooled basis. DNA was isolated with CTAB extraction buffer method. DNA concentration and purity was checked by spectrophotometer and agarose gel electrophoresis. Isolated DNA was used as template for amplification of DNA using 20 randomly selected decamer primers. To conclude, characters 100-seed weight followed by pods/plant and biological yield/plant contributed maximum towards divergence at both locations and over pooled analysis. Based over field studies conducted over 2 locations, divergent and high yielding genotypes in clusters VI/VII/I (RKL 603-1, IPL406, RKL 606-09, DPL-62, RKL1003-59F, RKL1017, RKL1003-53E, RKL1003-44E and RKL1003-46E) were identified. It is interesting to record that using RAPD analysis, above genotypes were also classified as most divergent belonging to different clusters.
A study on Dry matter intake, Average Daily Gain and Feed Conversion Ration of Tellicherry Goats under Intensive system Feeding Management
A study was carried out at Instructional Livestock Farm Complex, Veterinary College and Research Institute, Namakkal, Tamil Nadu to find out the production and reproductive performances of Tellicherry goats under intensive system of feeding management. Forty Tellicherry kids from the age of three to four months were utilized for the study. Eight male and twelve females were used to study the above production performance parameters. The animals were fed with roughages and concentrate feed as per the standards based on their age and body weight. Daily feed intake, DMI and efficiency of feed utilization was calculated as feed intake per unit gain. Animal body weight was recorded every month to calculate body weight changes and ADG. The male animals had significantly (P<0.01) higher DMI than female group throughout the experimental period. The total body weight gain was significantly (P<0.01) higher in males (9.55 ± 0.54 kg) than in females (6.78 ± 0.42 kg). The FCR did not vary significantly between males and females whereas, it increased with the advancement of age. This study revealed that Tellicherry breed of goats could be effectively reared for commercial goat meat production under intensive system of feeding management system in north western Agro-climatic zone of Tamil Nadu.
