This alteration in microflora could be because of diet or the environment, and might affect the normal physiological functions of the animal. This study was conducted to assess whether captivity had altered the microflora of the critically endangered G yps vultures of three species - Longbilled Vulture, White-rumped Vulture, and Slender-billed Vulture - at the BNHS-Vulture Conservation Breeding Centre, Pinjore, Haryana. Cloacal and choanal swabs from 17 captive vultures, hatched at the Centre, were collected and analyzed for aerobic culturable bacteria. The birds were hatched in captivity and were in captivity from hatching till the time of sampling. Results from these samples were compared with the patterns obtained from 32 wild hatched vultures held in captivity at the centre, with patterns from four free ranging Red-headed Vultures used as control. No significant differences were found between the microflora of the captive and wild hatched vultures held in captivity, thus indicating that captivity did not affect the microflora of the captive hatched vultures. This study is the first of a series of planned studies, to ensure that the captive hatched vultures remain healthy and fit to be released in the wild.","PeriodicalId":38429,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society","volume":"112 1","pages":"8-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68139889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Declining populations face the threat of genetic drift and/or imbalance in sex ratios, adding to the risk of extinction. The primary step in genetic management of any population is the isolation of DNA from an available tissue sample. Good quality and quantity of DNA, whenever isolated, could be preserved and applied in a number of studies. Collection of blood, which is a very good source of DNA, from birds is possible in conservation programmes. A simple and inexpensive protocol for DNA isolation facilitates processing the blood samples in the field with ease. Commercial kits, though available, are expensive and have limited shelf life. Herein, we report a simple protocol of DNA isolation from avian blood. The protocol did not employ any proteases or organic solvent, making it comparatively inexpensive. This protocol, initially developed for vulture blood, was successfully applied later for other species. The protocol could isolate DNA sufficient for at least 50 amplification reactions. The isolated DNA was found suitable for spectrometry as well as downstream applications like PCR and cloning.","PeriodicalId":38429,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society","volume":"27 1","pages":"3-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68139826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
