Seasonal variations in the fat content of cow milk under village conditions of Tamil Nadu

The Indian journal of veterinary sciences and biotechnology (2015)

D. Anandha Prakash Singh V. Ramesh Saravanakumar A.K. Thiruvenkadan P. Devendran J. Muralidharan

In Namakkal district, 14 Tamil Nadu Co-operative Milk Producers Societies (TCMPS) were selected randomly and the data (n=16028) available at Namakkal Chilling Centre, Tamil Nadu Co-operative Milk Producers Federation (TCMPF) were used for this study. The mean milk fat percentage was generally higher in the evening milk when compared to the morning milk. The pooled overall mean fat percentage was found to be 4.42 per cent. Mohanur block recorded significantly highest milk fat per cent both in the morning and evening followed by Sendamangalam and Namakkal blocks. Maximum mean fat per cent (4.517) was observed in north-east monsoon followed by winter (4.43 per cent) and south-west monsoon (4.372 per cent). The least mean fat per cent was registered during summer (4.343 per cent) season

Incidence of Johne's disease and haemonchosis in a sheep.

Indian Journal of Field Veterinarians (2010)

J. Muralidharan S. Saravanan V. Ramesh Saravana Kumar

An adult female Mecheri in an organized sheep farm exhibiting the signs suggestive of Johne's disease was positive for the bacilli, Mycobacterium avium sub species paratuberculosis by Zeihl - Neelson technique and the haematological and serum biochemical parameters of the positive case were analyzed. The case on necropsy was confirmed for Johne's disease by it's characteristic gross lesions and histopathological findings. Faecal examination and necropsy revealed the concurrent infestation by the stomach worm, Haemonchus spp.

Body weight changes during different physiological stages of Mecheri ewes

The Indian Journal of Animal Sciences (2008)

A.K. Thiruvenkadan J. Muralidharan

A study was made in 749 animals to observe body weight changes at different physiological stages of Mecheri ewes. Effects of non-genetic factors, viz. period and season of mating, parity of the ewes and sex of the lamb were studied. The overall least-squares means for body weights of Mecheri ewes at mating and just before lambing were 23.3±0.16 and 28.3±0.16 kg, respectively, with a total weight gain of 4.98±0.08 kg during pregnancy period. Parity had highly significant effect on body weights at different months of pregnancy. The overall least-squares mean birth weight of lambs was 2.26±O.18 kg. Males had highly significantly more birth weight than fenlales. Period and parity of the ewes had significant effect on birth weight of lambs. Body weight during lactation revealed that season of mating and parity of ewes had significant effect on body weight during lactation. Period and season of Inating and parity of the ewes also had highly significant effect on weight gain of Mecheri ewes after weaning. The study on body weight at different physiological stages in Mecheri ewes revealed that the ewes gained maximum weight during the final month of pregnancy and there was a considerable reduction in body weight during lactation. Hence, during these periods Mecheri ewes should be maintained on better feeding and management that may result in increased birth and weaning weights.

Influence of rice Bran oil as defaunating agent on the performance of Mecheri Ram Lambs

Indian Journal of Small Ruminants (The) (2010)

Seema Jayachandran J. Muralidharan P. Selvaraj P. Visha K. Nanjappan

The efficiency of unrefined rice bran oil as defaunating agent was evaluated in Mecheri breed of lambs. Twelve lambs were randomly divided into two groups. The animals were defaunated by drenching @ 5ml/kg live weight with rice bran oil at weekly interval from 3 to 6 months of age. The animals that received oil showed higher growth rate and average daily gain over control animals. The blood urea nitrogen level was lower in oil fed lambs indicating better utilization of BUN for growth. Defaunation using unrefined rice bran oil has yielded some beneficial effect over the average daily gain of lambs. However, further study is required to assess the defaunating ability of unrefined rice bran oil when mixed with concentrates under field conditions.
