The seminal quality parameters viz., viability, sperm morphology, plasma membrane functional integrity, acrosome integrity and mitochondrial membrane potential were studied, and recorded immediately after fresh semen collection/retrieval, before freezing, and after cryopreservation. Similar protocols were followed for freezing the epididymal and ejaculated semen. From the current study, it was observed that the sperm concentration of the epididymal recovered was significantly higher than that of fresh ejaculation. Other seminal parameters in thefresh sample, like total and progressive sperm motility, sperm membrane functional integrity, acrosome integrity and kinematic parameters like VSL, STR, and linearity were similar without any significant differences between both. However, mitochondrial membrane potential, BCF and linearity of the spermatozoa differed significantly between the groups after cryopreservation. From the current study, it can be concluded that the protocols used for cryopreserving the fresh ejaculates can be adopted for freezing the stallion epididymal spermatozoa without causing significant damage and through this method; elite stallion germplasm can be safely cryopreserved and conserved.","PeriodicalId":13507,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Animal Sciences","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135016196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tolllike receptors play crucial roles in the innate immune system by recognizing pathogen-associated molecular patterns derived from various microbes. Present investigation was carried out to characterize the coding sequence of TLR2 gene in Indian dromedary camels. Blood was collected from five Bikaneri camels and genomic DNA was isolated. Eight pairs of overlapping primers were designed for amplification of TLR2 gene coding region. All the fragments were successfully amplified using Polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The PCR products were purified and subjected to Sanger’s sequencing. TLR2 gene fragment of 3213 bp consisting of 2287 bp of coding sequence of exon 2 and 926 bp of 3’untranslated region (UTR) was successfully amplified. The sequence generated was submitted to the NCBI with accession number MW557315.1. The encoded amino acids codes for 12 leucine rich repeats (LRR) (Accession no. UBN09134.1). At the nucleotide level, the Bikaneri camels’ TLR2 gene showed highest similarity with camelids (99.30 to 99.59%) followed by vicugna pacos (97.54%). The nucleotide sequence similarity was lowest with Homo sapiens (82.37%). The amino acid sequence based phylogenetic tree revealed close relationship between camelid species followed by pig (86.2%), whereas human, gorilla, horse and donkey were distantly placed on the tree.","PeriodicalId":13507,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Animal Sciences","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135064719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The disease has been reported in ruminants in almost all Indian states. But there is a lack of comprehensive information on the seroprevalence of brucellosis in the Indian subcontinent. A systematic review and meta-analysis on the seroprevalence of brucellosis among ruminants of India was conducted from the published articles (January 1970 - June 2020) by including 172 studies screened from 567 publications. The estimated brucellosis seroprevalence of cattle, buffalo, sheep, goat, yak and mithun was 14% (95% CI: 12% - 16%), 8% (95% CI: 6% - 9%), 8% (95% CI: 7% - 10%), 8% (95% CI: 7% - 9%), 16% (95% CI: 7% - 28%) and 26% (95% CI: 12% - 42%), respectively. Sub-group analysiswas performed based on diagnostic tests, regions, publication year, and sample size. The estimated seroprevalence of brucellosis in cattle and goats was found to be higher in the central region compared to other regions. Similarly, the western region showed a higher seroprevalence for brucellosis in buffalo and sheep. Given the estimated animal population of 2021, the meta-analysis estimated that the total number of seropositive animals would be 26.95 million cattle (95% CI: 23.09–30.78), 8.78 million buffaloes (95% CI: 6.59–9.89), 5.94 million sheep (95% CI: 5.20–7.43), 11.91 million goats (95% CI: 10.42–13.40), 9.6 thousand yaks (95% CI: 0.0042–0.0168), and 100 thousand mithun (95% CI: 0.05–0.16). Further, the comprehensive picture of the brucellosis seroprevalence may help the decisionmaking authorities in formulating better prevention and control strategies for brucellosis in India.","PeriodicalId":13507,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Animal Sciences","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135016289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data collected through a field survey conducted in Haryana and Rajasthan in 2015–16 from 913 livestock farmers on structured schedule forms the basis of this paper. Rajasthan depicts dry and harsh tract and Haryana with assured irrigated, and both contribute significant share in milk production. The socio-economic and demographic factors did not vary significantly except milk yield, experience in dairy, annual income for different categories of farmers. Our observation indicated that livestock owner faced risks from different sources, viz. breeding, animal health, marketing, institutional and policy related. Further risk management strategies including better breed, animal health checkup, seeking advice of veterinary expert, friend consultations, forward selling contracts, maintenance of farm inventory, accessibility to different financial, extension and government institutions etc. were adopted to cope up with risks in livestock enterprise. The determinants of source of risks were significantly influenced by a number of socio-economic and demographic characteristics. The herd size had negative relation with extent of various risks. Rajasthan farmers face higher degree of risk than Haryana. Higher education status also indicated that the lover risks and other factors like knowledge level and milk yield indicated positive influence of source of risks means higher knowledge level and yield, reduce the risks. The policy makers and researchers should see the solutions and options to minimize the source of risks in livestock production and management.","PeriodicalId":13507,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Animal Sciences","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135502322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
