This breed is known as Lal Kandhari. In the present investigation the reproductive performance of Red Kandhari cattle at various stages of growth were studied at different K e yw or ds locations in the breeding tract. The idea behind the collection of data in breeding tract of Red Kandhari cattle from the farmers and breeders herd of Red Kandhari rather than on Reproductive the organized farm to obtain the real picture of reproductive performance of breed in the performance, breeding tract. The reproductive traits often help in judging the economic value of the Economic value, animal. The overall least square means for age at puberty (AP) of Red Kandhari cattle was judging, Calving, recorded as 883.16 + 0.83 days. The effect of block and season were found highly Oestrus significant on AP whereas, the effect of colour was found non-significant. The overall least square means for age at first estrus (AFE) of Red Kandhari cattle was recorded as Article Info 1236.96 + 1.67 days.

The overall least square means for Accepted: age at first calving (AFC) of Red Kandhari cattle was recorded as 1529.61 + 1.71 days. 04 August 2020 The effect of season was found highly significant on AFC whereas, the effect of block and Available Online: 10 September 2020 colour were found non-significant. The overall least square means for service period (SP) of Red Kandhari cattle was recorded as 139.92 + 0.66 days. The effect of block and season were found highly significant on SP whereas, the effect of colour was found non- significant. The overall least square means for gestation period (GP) of Red Kandhari cattle was recorded as 283.49 + 0.23 days. The effect of block, season and colour were found non-significant on GP.

  • Genetic Diversity Among Indian Gir, Deoni and Kankrej Cattle Breeds Based on Microsatellite Markers

The number of alleles observed at different loci ranged from 5 (HEL5) to 8 (CSRM60) with a total of 46 alleles across three breeds. The overall heterozygosity and polymorphic information content (PIC) values were 0.730 and 0.749, respectively. Nei’s standard genetic distance was least between Gir and Kankrej and highest between Deoni and Kankrej. In the analyzed loci, an overall significant deficit of heterozygotes across these breeds was found and it could be due to inbreeding within breeds. The overall genetic differentiation ( FST ) among breeds was moderate, but significantly different. All loci, except INRA035, contributed significantly to the overall differentiation. The highest FST values were found in HEL5 and lowest in INRA035. The overall Nem value indicated a high rate of genetic flow between the breeds, which is in agreement with their origin of close proximity in the geographical area.

A total of 4 different age groups were considered for this study. The morphological features of Pulikulam cattle showed that these animals have distinct T Sathiamoorthy appearance. Different Morphometric characteristic like wither height, body length, hip width, thurl width Professor and Head, Pulikulam and rump width were studied. Pulikulam cattle are relatively smaller in size, the mean wither height for Cattle Research Station, Pulikulam animal at 24-30 months, 36-42 months, 48-54 months and adult bull were 111.67±1.44 cm, Tamil Nadu Veterinary and 111.07±1.38 cm 112.40±0.74 cm and 121.26±0.84 cm respectively. It is concluded that the variation in Animal Sciences University, the morphometric characteristics in different cattle breeds are due to environmental factors, feeding Tamil Nadu, India pattern and other management practices which affects genetic makeup of growth traits of cattle.

The mean quality of the DNA were analyzed by spectrophotometric number of alleles was 4.04 ± 0.09 with a range of 2 to 6 measurements. and the allele size ranged from 94 to 300 bp. The PCR amplification and microsatellite analysis frequency distribution of alleles in the breed was from A total of 25 microsatellite markers (Table 1) were 0.0104 to 0.9167. The estimated heterozygosity was utilized as per the suggestions of FAO in the Secondary 0.6183 ± 0.01 and the PIC was 0.5628 ± 0.03. The overall Guidelines for Development of National Farm Animal mean within-population inbreeding estimate (FIS) value (– Genetic Resources Management Plans for global 0.084) suggested excess of heterozygotes in the management of cattle genetic resources using reference population. In addition, higher PIC value indicated the microsatellites (FAO, 2004).

Kangayam, Pulikulam, crossbred Jersey and crossbred Holstein Friesian, to compare the karyomorphological pattern between Bos indicus and Bos taurus x indicus bull calves. Metaphase chromosomal spreads obtained by short term lymphocyte culture technique revealed chromosomal complement (2n) of 60, with 29 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes in four groups. All the autosomes were acrocentric, X-chromosome was sub-metacentric and Y-chromosome was acrocentric in Bos indicus and metacentric in crossbred bulls. There was no significant difference in relative length, arm ratio, centromeric index and morphological index of autosomes and X-chromosome between indicine and taurine groups; but Y-chromosome differed significantly (P˂0.01) in relative length between Bos indicus and Bos taurus x indicus crosses. Y-chromosome polymorphism could help in the determination of breed origin and male lines used in the breeding programmes in order to prevent the possible interferences in the process of reproduction.

PREFACE In changing climatic scenario, frequent occurrence of climate aberrations can cause huge loss to agriculture productivity, predominantly under rainfed conditions. Hence, ensuring food and nutritional security to increasing population has emerged as the biggest challenge. With diverse agro-ecologies, Indian agriculture is featured by agro-climatic situations often experiencing drought, frost, hailstorm and heat wave. Therefore, climate resilient crops, livestock and fish can play a crucial role in development of climate adaptation strategies for crop production and efficient management of natural resources.
