ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND-388 110
From the VC’s Desk
I am feeling immensely proud and privileged to present the Twelfth Annual Report of my University. Since its inception on 1 May 2004 by enactment of Gujarat Act No.5 of 2004, to date, it is an endless saga of success, achievements, appreciation and excellence with Anand Agricultural University. As one of the premier institutions of higher learning in Agriculture, AAU symbolizes an unflinching and resolute commitment to academic preeminence.
With an overall mission to promote continuous process of development of sustainable growth and economic independence in rural society, AAU relentlessly works towards the empowerment of the farmers, imparting knowledge and skills to the students through its 10 colleges, on campus 25, off campus 23 total 48 research centers, 5 polytechnics and 11 extension education units functioning in nine districts of Central Gujarat.
Anand Agricultural University inculcates Education in Agricultural and allied sciences through seven faculties viz., Agriculture, Veterinary Science & Animal Husbandry, Dairy Science, Agricultural Engineering & Technology, Food Processing Technology & Bio-energy, Agricultural Information Technology and International Agricultural Business Management. Significantly, this year, there is an increase in the number of ICAR-sponsored Post Graduate students, and simultaneously, a quintuple increase also in the number of UG and PG girl students. Where hands-on-training is concerned, our model of ‘Vidya Dairy’ has got international repute and wide appreciation. Here, it pleases me to state that it is now widely alluring students from overseas.
On the Research Front, Anand Agricultural University has widely extended its research frontiers and cutting-edge technologies. This year, the extensive research programmes carried out by the University in different fields of agricultural sciences have paved the way for agricultural development in Gujarat, resulting in remarkable output. 5 new improved high yielding varieties, viz. Paddy-Mahisagar, Gujarat Anand Ashwagandha-1, Gujarat Anand Desi Cotton-2, Gujarat Anand Mungbean-5, Gujarat Anand Oil Seed-1, Gujarat Anand Garlic 6, Gujarat Anand Basil 1, Oat JO-03-91; have been released for the use of the farmers. In add itio n to this, 102 technologies have been released and recommended; 62 for farmers as well as entrepreneurs and 50 technologies for scientific community.
To avail the pure and reliable seeds by the farmers, a unit of Regional Research Station established by the university from where the seeds are directly sold to the farmers under the brand name of "Anubhav Seeds". The seed processing and seed testing facilities also boosted the efforts of seed quality assurance. Moreover, the university has started seed production through Participatory Seed Production on farmers’ fields.
Through its Extension activities, Anand Agricultural University ensures that its research outcome reaches the real stakeholders. Our University diligently follows Hon’ble Prime Minister’s Lab-to-Land principle, and this year, our transfer of technology centres, including KVKs organized a number of extension education activities. Our scientists reached the interiors of Central Gujarat during Kharif and Rabi Krishi Mahotsav and made it a huge success. Our ‘Input Dealers’ Training Course’ is vastly helping the farm sector, as now the dealers are providing better services.
The faculty members, staff and students are provided the intranet and internet facilities through our IT cell to remain connected with world so that they make use of IT in education, research and extension. The use of e-governance is adopted in the university.
I once again feel privileged to assert that Anand Agricultural University has witnessed enormous growth in the past few years, with the introduction of new courses of study, new disciplines and new initiatives. With the range of disciplines represented and the fine quality of the staff and students bringing laurels to the Institution, the University is now well poised to make its mark at national as well as global levels.
I heartily congratulate the entire AAU fraternity for their incessant efforts in bringing our University to this level. I am sure that this saga of success would continue for all the time to come.

RESEARCH
Agriculture sector has promising opportunities and potential to uplift the national economy. India's economic development is highly dependent on agriculture sector. The importance of agriculture can itself be accessed by the fact that more than 60% of the Indian population directly or indirectly is employed in agriculture and therefore, agriculture is an important sector and considered as backbone of Indian economy. Agriculture is the single biggest source of livelihood in our country. It has contributed significantly in achieving self-sufficiency in food and avoiding food shortage in our country. It has transformed from being a food deficient to food surplus country and an exporter of some agricultural produce. Gujarat is one of the leading states in our country and considered as model state for development. Interventions in areas of agricultural research and development, its dispersal and uptake are of utmost importance. The research and extension led agricultural growth has made the state on top position. Anand Agricultural University situated in central part of Gujarat state is involved in multi- dimensional research activities and working with the main objective of enhancing production and productivity of agricultural commodities. The scientists of this university associated with research in different disciplines put their hard and sincere efforts and inputs to achieve the desired goals. This chapter highlights the research output carried out by the scientists of Anand Agricultural University during the year 2015-2016. 1. Seasonal weather and crop condition during 2015 The onset of SW monsoon at Anand took place during 24th June with 27.4 mm rainfall (Table 1) and 53.0 mm rainfall on 25th June. Total rainfall during June was 92.0 mm in 3 rainy days as against normal rainfall of 108.4 mm. There was a long dry spell of about a month period from 26th June to 24th July 2015, which resulted in partially loss of drying of crops during June. In the last week of July, there was heavy rainfall (296.2 mm) during 30th MSW. This resulted agricultural operations at full sowing and survival of many earlier sown crops. The total rainfall of July was 309.1 mm in 7 rainy days as against the normal of 319.3 mm. Again there was a long dry spell in the month of August and up to 18th September as only 9.4 mm (1 rainy
1 day) rainfall was received. During September, 79.1 mm rainfall was received in 4 rainy days (19 – 22 Sept) as compared to 114.8 mm of normal rainfall. The kharif crops were adversely affected by poor distribution of rainfall. The weekly distribution of weather parameters are presented in Table 2. The comparison between normal and actual rainfall, temperature and relative humidity presented in Fig. 1 to 3. The weekly maximum temperature was found to be higher than normal except in few weeks in the year. Minimum temperature remained higher to its normal till the month of May, thereafter it was slightly lower except in 47th MSW. Morning and evening relative humidity values were quite higher than normal till the mid-April.

Looking to the poor socio-economic status of milk producers, the first and most important step decided was to improve the health and milk performance of milch animals through conducting 100 FLDs and training on deworming and disinfestations of ectoparasite after monsoon at village Kaliyakota and Nani Mangoi village of Devgadh Baria Taluka. The details of demonstration are as under: 1 No. of animals under treatment: 100 milch buffaloes 2 Duration of treatment: 90 days (After monsoon) 3 Fenbendazole 3.0 gm as oral drench to control internal parasites 4 Cypermethrin high cis EC (vet) 10% w/v @1ml/liter of water sprayed on the body surface of the animals as well as manger, floor, wall and surrounding area of animal shelter for the purpose of controlling ectoparasites 5 Cost of the treatment: Fenbendazole 3.0 gm: – 52.00 Cypermethrin high cis EC (vet) :– 81.00 Total cost :- Rs. 133/-

The treatment resulted in noticeable improvement after a week in performance of milk and health. The average milk production of buffaloes was increased from 3.5 to 4.4 litres after the treatment (22 %). The average benefit in terms of rupees was 3267/- in 90 days duration. The skin condition improved in terms of smoothness, shining and hair strength. There were no ticks and other external parasites on the body of animals. Animals looked active and alert, the condition of eyelid of buffaloes improved and became normal from paleness. The feeding behaviour was improved and the fecal condition became normal, which was indicative of improvement in digestion and utilization of feeds. (b) FLD on supplementation of bypass fat to buffaloes during early lactation Seventy FLDs were carried out in Kamboi village of Limkheda and Moti Khajuri village of Devgadhbaria taluka on 60 per parturient buffaloes (Avg. milk yield 5 kg/d) and 10 deshi cows (Avg. milk yield 4 kg/d) with 10 animals each as control during last month of pregnancy to prevent the negative energy balance and improve the milk yield and milk composition. The objectives of the study were: (a) To study the influence of supplementing bypass fat during early lactation on milk yield and gross milk composition. (b) To study the influence of supplementing bypasses fat during early lactation on the cost of milk production by buffaloes. The details of demonstration are as under 1. No. of animals under treatment: Periparturient 60 buffaloes (Avg. milk yield 5kg/d) and 10 deshi cows (Avg. milk yield 4 kg/d) 2. No. of animals under control: 10 buffaloes and 10 deshi cows 3. Duration of treatment: last 20 days of pregnancy + 100 days of initial lactation 4. Name of input: bypass fat supplement, SUNRGY @ 100g/buffalo/day and 50g/cow/day 5. Cost of the treatment: bypass fat supplement, SUNRGY @ Rs.152/kg i.e. Rs. 15.2/buffalo/d and Rs.7.6/cow/d The milk samples were for assessing gross milk composition at fortnightly intervals from individual animals during both times of milking at co- operative milk collection centres.
Table 5.10 Results of FLD on supplementation of bypass fat to buffaloes during early lactation
Buffaloes Deshi cows Particulars Control Treated Control Treated Daily gross milk yield/composition Milk yield (kg) 5.0 6.1 4.0 4.8 Fat % 7.0 7.6 3.9 4.4 Fat yield (kg) 0.35 0.46 0.16 0.21 Feed Cost/Return Av daily feed cost (Rs./buffalo) 120.00 135.00 80.00 88.00 Av daily receipt from sale of milk 183.00 243.00 95.00 122.00 (Rs/animal) Av daily Return over feed cost 63.00 108.00 15.00 34.00 (Rs./animal) BCR (Benefit Cost Ratio) - 1:7.10 - 1:4.25
The daily feed cost (Rs.) was higher in bypass fat group but daily realizable receipt (Rs.) from sale of milk was higher. The daily return over feed cost per buffalo and cow during the experiment in bypass fat group was higher than control i.e. Rs. 45/Buffalo and Rs. 19/cow. The supplementation of bypass fat to buffaloes and deshi cows resulted in higher milk yield, percentage of fat and daily return over feed cost. This technology was more beneficial to buffaloes, while for cow, sustaining the deshi cow was better. (ii) On Farm Trials The On Farm Trials' (OFTs) aim was to conduct ‘On Farm Testing’ for identifying technologies in terms of location specific sustainable land use system. The KVKs have organized a total 211 OFTs on various crops/enterprises. The OFTs conducted during the year 2015-16 are given in Table 5.11 to 5.13.

Seed Village Program The purpose of the Seed Village Program is to develop seed production of the village and gradually transform the same in to a seed business venture with development of production and certification skills. Most of the seeds produced by the non-technical farmers do not give required seed quality; hence selected farmers are given training to produce quality seeds for marketing purpose towards developing seed village so as to increase the economic status of the small farmers. The university has taken initiative in this since last six years. Under Seed Village Program, the seeds of two crops were produced in Rabi season by 1223 farmers of 58 villages during 2015-16.

Impacts/Benefits of Krushi Mahotsav Direct interaction of farmers with Agriculture scientists/Officers Intimacy between the farmers and Agriculture Scientists/Officers increased Farmers started their interaction with Agricultural Scientists/Officers without any hesitation for their questions/information/technology. Farmers started adopting the new techniques which in turn increased their income more than double. Due to systematic cultivation and use of proper inputs, their cultivation cost reduced and hence their income increased. Water accumulation/storage, water level came up due to which the irrigation area increased. Farmers started growing new crops so, the loss due to growing of routine type of crops, risk reduced. State border level farmers also adopted New Agriculture Technology system. Due to easy availability of information of State/Central Govt. schemes, farmers came forward to take benefits of Assistance Schemes.
