Ali* Animal Health Research Division, Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute Savar, Dhaka 1341, Bangladesh ABSTRACT Now-a-days, the poultry production in Bangladesh has become a sustainable and profitable industry. The poultry sectors are contributing to meet the national demand of proteins as well as implementing food security along with employment generation. The poultry industries are frequently affected by respiratory diseases. There are five viral respiratory diseases associated with respiratory systems such as Avian influenza (AI), Newcastle disease (ND), Infectious bronchitis (IB), Infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT), and Avian metapneumovirus (AE). Among them, AI outbreaks have been occurring regularly with changing genetic characters since 2007 and atotal of 556 AI outbreaks have been reported yet in Bangladesh that placed in most AI reporter countries. Bacterial diseases like Mycoplasmosis, Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale, Fowl cholera, and Infectious coryza are mostly prevalent respiratory diseases in Bangladesh. Mycoplasmosis is become a major threat for poultry industry especially Sonali (a cross-bred) type chickens due to poor biosecurity and breeding management. With respect to fungal diseases, Aspergillosis or brooder pneumonia is a highly prevalent respiratory disease in Bangladesh with causing pneumonia in young chickens. However, respiratory diseases are prevalent in higher rates and cause outbreaks frequently. Keywords: Respiratory pathogen, Poultry, Avian influenza, Infectious bronchitis, Mycoplasmosis INTRODUCTION The avian respiratory system begins with nostril and ends with lungs and air sacs. It is divided into the upper and lower respiratory system (Tully, 1995). It acts as a major pathway for pathogen entry and key challenges for veterinarians to diagnose the disease properly (Baskerville, 1981). The etiology of most of the respiratory * Corresponding author: zulfekar@blri.gov.bd Received: 16.04.2020 Accepted: 19.06.2020 2 M.Z. Ali diseases is very complex, and sometimes, co-infected with more than one pathogen leads to increase severity (Yashpal et al., 2004). The most serious and paramount important economic diseases of poultry are respiratory diseases (Roussan et al., 2008). A large number of pathogens such as bacteria, virus, and fungus are associated with respiratory infection. Viral diseases like Avian influenza (AI), Newcastle disease (ND), Infectious bronchitis (IB), Infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT)and Avian metapneumovirus; bacterial diseases like Mycoplasmosis, Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale, Fowl cholera and Infectious coryza; and fungal disease like Aspergillosis are responsible for causing respiratory diseases. Every pathogen has unique trends regarding their infection pattern, transmission, clinical symptoms, control strategy and vaccination (Ali, 2018). But often, they show similar clinical signs and become difficult to differentiate

  • Genotypic and Phenotypic Analysis of a Nepali Spring Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) Population
    Genotypic and Phenotypic Analysis of a Nepali Spring Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Population by Kamal Khadka A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Plant Agriculture Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Kamal Khadka, May, 2020 ABSTRACT GENOTYPIC AND PHENOTYPIC ANALYSIS OF A NEPALI SPRING WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM L.) POPULATION Kamal Khadka Advisor(s): Dr. Alireza Navabi University of Guelph, 2020 Dr. Manish N. Raizada Nepal has been completely dependent on introduced wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) germplasm for variety development despite having >500 landraces in the national genebank. No Nepali wheat genetic resources were involved in the development of any of the 43 varieties released in Nepal for commercial cultivation. Nepal’s capacity to genotype and phenotype its wheat germplasm, in order to utilize it for breeding, is in its infancy due to a lack of resources. To assist breeding efforts for Nepal, here, I hypothesized that: (1) Nepali spring wheat germplasm is genetically and phenotypically diverse; (2) that the important physio- morphological traits have a genetic basis; and (3) that promising accessions for future targeted breeding can be identified using such genotyping and phenotyping. I assembled the Nepali Wheat Diversity Panel (NWDP) consisting of 318 spring wheat accessions including landraces, CIMMYT lines and released varieties. The NWDP was phenotyped in four different field experiments (2 each in Nepal and Canada) and also under controlled conditions. Analysis of 95K high density GBS markers showed greater genetic diversity in the Nepali landrace group compared to modern germplasm. Unexpectedly, the population structure analysis revealed four, rather than 3 subpopulations as was originally expected based on breeding history, with significant admixture within each subpopulation.

  • Institution and Scale of Ecosystem Service Governance in Nepal a Case of Kulekhani Area 1
    Institution and scale of ecosystem service governance in Nepal A case of Kulekhani Area 1. Navaraj Pokharel Prince of Songkla University Faculty of Environment and Energy , Thailand 2. Yogendra Raj Rijal Ph D. Parbat, Nepal Abstract New actors with different agendas and ideas are now emerging and playing important role in decision-making about ecosystem service governance. Network types of governance has been practicing in all sectors including in conservation. Awareness about key ideas of environmental governance or protection and use of natural resources among local people is the important concern today. Nepal's efforts in ecosystem service governance in the last three decades are noteworthy but the results are far from satisfaction. Coordination among various actors is the main problem in ES governance. Due to the lack of locally elected representative in Local Bodies (LBs) since before 15 years, coordination among actors and taking decision with strategic vision has some problems. Duplication in the use of resources is high, controlling and monitoring system is weak. Institutions are weaken and no more attention is given to rural people who are traditionally depend on natural resources for their livelihoods. This paper tries to explore the key environmental governance issues relevant to the conservation with specific reference to institutional fit and scale. Key Words : ecosystem services, Kulekhaani, Watershed, Nepal etc. 1. Introduction Ecosystem service governance is one of the major crosscuttings in contemporary development agenda. Significant efforts have been taken by the state and non-state actors to protect environmental elements in the world today. However, ecosystem services are becoming increasingly threatened globally.This trend is partially due to the lack of appreciation of their value.

  • 34 Adapting Crop Varieties to Environments and Clients
    January 2006 ADAPTING CROP VARIETIES TO ENVIRONMENTS AND CLIENTS THROUGH DECENTRALIZED - PARTICIPATORY APPROACH M.T.K.Gunasekare 1 ABSTRACT Since 1990s, participatory approaches have became a driving force for agricultural research and rural development. The participatory approach in crop improvement involves the client-farmer in the cultivar selection or breeding and highly appropriate for increasing food security and improving livelihoods of subsistence farmers in developing countries. This has developed over the past decades as an alternative and complementary breeding approach to formal plant breeding to effectively address the needs of the farmers, especially in marginal or resource poor areas. In pursuit of this concept, this paper discusses the trends, advantages and challenges in this approach highlighting the contemporary evidence of success case studies commissioned by various authorities worldwide. While successful experiences are evident, the potential of such applications are still to be explored. Among the key challenges to the approach, this article pays attentions especially to technical, economic and institutional challenges that need to be overcome to integrate end-users based participatory approaches into the formal plant breeding systems. The paper concludes by describing synergies that can potentially be achieved by linking centralized and decentralized plant breeding models over biotechnological methods. Key words : Formal plant breeding, Participatory plant breeding, Participatory Vareital Selection, marginal environments, decentralized testing, modern varieties INTRODUCTION south Asia and sub-Saharan Africa (Pinstrup-Andersen et al., 1999). The Crop improvement plays an important necessary increase in agricultural role in the development and production represents a huge challenge strengthening of local agricultural to the local farming systems and must systems.
