    COUNTRY REPORT ON ANIMAL GENETIC RESOURCES OF INDIA DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL HUSBANDRY & DAIRYING MINISTRY OF AGRICUCLTURE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA Preparation of Country Report on AnGR Training for the preparation of Country Report was provided by the FAO (at Bangkok) to three Scientists viz. Dr. D K Sadana, PS from NBAGR, Dr. A. Batobyal, Jt. Commissioner, GOI and Dr. Vineet Bhasin, Sr. Scientist, ICAR. The NBAGR, Karnal was identified as the Nodal Institute to prepare the draft Country Report. The scientists of the Animal Genetic Resources Division prepared answers to the background questions, collected livestock data from various sources, examined, discussed and compiled the received input. Chief Nodal Officers of the five regions of the country (North, West, South, East and North East) were identified to coordinate the collection of information from the Nodal Officers (Data contributors) from different states of the Country. Three national workshops were organized, two at NBAGR, Karnal and one at UAS, Bangalore.In the National Workshops, the Nodal Officers from different states were given training and guidelines for answering the background questions. Subsequently, the Draft Report was updated with the details received from nodal officers and other data contributors. Following scientists have contributed in writing and preparation of the Draft Country Report on AnGR: 1. Dr. V.K. Taneja, DDG (AS), ICAR, New Delhi 2. Dr. S.P.S.

  • Genetic Divergence Study Between Umblachery and Kangayam Breed of Cattle Using Random Amplified Polymorphic Dna
    International Journal of Food, Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences ISSN: 2277-209X (Online) An Online International Journal Available at http://www.cibtech.org/jfav.htm 2013 Vol. 3 (1) January-April, pp. 136-140/Thiagarajan Research Article GENETIC DIVERGENCE STUDY BETWEEN UMBLACHERY AND KANGAYAM BREED OF CATTLE USING RANDOM AMPLIFIED POLYMORPHIC DNA *Thiagarajan R. Department of Animal Genetics and Breeding, Madras Veterinary College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu *Author for correspondence ABSTRACT Fifty randomly selected Umblachery and Kangayam cattle were used. Out of nine random primers tested five random primers ILO 1127, ILO 526, ILO 868, ILO 876 and BG 85 yielded amplification with genomic DNA samples. In Umblachery, primers ILO 1127, ILO 526, ILO 876 have the ability to amplify more bands such as 9, 8 and 10 where as ILO 868 and BG 85 gave only 4 bands. All the primers except BG 85 produced polymorphic bands. In the same way, in Kangayam breed, all primer except BG 85 produced more bands (6 to 12) and the numbers of polymorphic bands are two in ILO 1127, three in ILO 526 and one in all other three primers. All the five primers revealed band sharing within and between breeds. The frequency varied in Umblachery from 0.06 to 0.118 with respect to primers ILO 526 and ILO 876 whereas in Kangayam it varied from 0.07 to 0.2665 with respect to primers ILO 526 and ILO 876 respectively. The highest APD value between these two breeds obtained was 88.00 with ILO 868 and the lowest value of 50 with ILO 876.The MAPD between these two breeds was estimated to be 74.93 indicating these two breeds differed at 74.9% of loci amplified by a group of five random primers.

Abstract The present study was conducted to establish the base line hematological values in Malnad Gidda cattle during winter and summer seasons under the agro-climatic condition of Western Ghats of Karnataka. Thirty healthy Malnad Gidda cattle divided into five groups based on age, sex and lactation. The mean values of TEC, Hb, PCV, ESR, TLC and eosinophil per cent were significantly (P<0.05) higher in adult animals than young animals in both sexes. But, MCV was significantly (P<0.05) higher in young compared to adult animals. The mean values of MCH, MCHC, neutrophil, basophil, monocyte and lymphocyte per cent did not vary significantly among the age groups and among the gender. The mean values of all the above parameters between sexes within age groups and between the seasons were not significantly different.

Accepted 30 November, 2012 The genetic diversity study of native Gir and Kankrej (Bos indicus) cattle populations were evaluated using nine microsatellite markers (ETH-225, CSRM-60, HEL-9, INRA-005, ETH-10, HAUT-24, BM1818, ILSTS-002 and ILSTS-006) suggested by FAO (ISAG). A total of 60 cattle were sampled from different places of local Rajasthan region. For each, 30 individuals were sampled. The mean number of observed and effective alleles in Kankrej were high (5.222 and 3.714) comparatively and the average expected heterozygosity values (0.5403) indicated high diversity in the Kankrej population than Gir (0.4520). High polymorphism information content (PIC) values observed for most of the markers with an average of 0.5116 are indicative of high polymorphism of these markers in Kankrej breed than in Gir (0.4202), which showed high informativeness of all the microsatellite markers in Kankrej breed. Three microsatellites markers (HAUT24, BM1818 AND ILSTS006) did not show amplification in both breeds. INRA005 was the only markers amplified in Kankrej. The allele diversity (mean observed number of alleles was 6.11; mean effective number of alleles was 5.187) and gene diversity (0.2771) values implied a substantial amount of genetic variability in both populations.
