    Abstract Swine pasteurellosis is one of the most economically important diseases of pig caused by Pasteurella multocida (P. multocida) capsular types A and D. These organisms are commensals and opportunistic pathogens in the upper respiratory tract in pig. In the present study, we extracted whole outer membrane proteins (OMP) from P. multocida capsular types A and D and were mixed together in the ratio of 1:1 forming bivalent outer-membrane proteins. The bivalent OMP was adsorbed onto aluminum hydroxide nanoparticles. The size of aluminum hydroxide nanoparticles adsorbed outer membrane protein was found to be in the range of 125 to 130 nm. We observed that aluminum hydroxide nanoparticles adjuvanted bivalent OMP-based vaccine elicited quicker immune kinetics in terms of IgG response as compared to aluminum hydroxide microparticles adjuvanted bivalent bacterin vaccine against P. multocida capsular type A and D.

    Abstract Biodegradable calcium phosphate nanoparticles offer a viable substitute for traditional adjuvants such as aluminum in vaccine production. Calcium phosphate nanoparticle adjuvanted with outer membrane vesicle (OMV) of gram negative bacteria may induce efficient immune response in the host. The present study was carried out to evaluate the potential of a mucosal vaccine formulation of calcium phosphate (CAP) nanoparticle using OMV of Riemerella anatipestifer (RA) as antigen against New Duck disease in ducks. The work was initiated with isolation, identification of RA, followed by OMV production and extraction. The CAP-OMV nanoparticle was prepared and characterized. The efficacy of the vaccine formulation and toxicity were studied in ducks. The average OMV yield in terms of protein concentration was found to be 122.33 ± 3.48 mg per liter of BHI broth. In SDS-PAGE, isolated OMVs exhibited presence of 16 distinct protein bands with molecular weight ranging from 142.1 to 12.1 kDa. Seven protein bands of 74.1, 69.3, 55.5, 50.6, 45.6, 25.1 and 13.1 kDa were detected relatively more distinct. The major bands detected in our findings were 42 kDa, 37 kDa and 16 kDa that corresponds to OmpA, OmpH, P6 respectively. The mean zeta size (±SD) and potential of the nanoparticle were 246.20 ± 0.53 nm and -25.60 ± 5.97 respectively. In transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the nanoparticles exhibited an average diameter of 129.80 ± 11.10 nm and displayed spherical morphology. The median protective dose (PD50) of CAP-OMV nanoparticle was 1881.10 μg of protein. Group I ducks received 3762 μg of protein (entrapped protein in CAP-OMV nanoparticle) via intra nasal route and it showed the highest serum IgG and secretory IgA level than other immunized groups. All experimental ducks were challenged with 10 × LD50 on 35 days of post primary immunization. Group I showed 100 % survivability in the challenge study. No gross and biochemical indication of acute or chronic toxicity were recorded. In conclusion, our results suggest that CAP-OMV nanoparticle can be a safe and efficient mucosal vaccine delivery system for RA, eliciting strong immune response in the host.

    Abstract The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding garlic along with multi-strain probiotics on performance of broilers. One hundred eighty no. (N=180) of day old commercial Ven Cobb 50 broiler chicks 45 chicks in each group with 3 replicates of 15 chicks each by following Randomized Block Design (RBD) and chicks were randomly distributed into 4 treatment groups i.e. T₀, T₁, T₂ and T₃ on the basis of their body weight. Experimental diets were formulated for starter and finisher phases to meet the nutrient requirement as per ICAR (2013) using commonly available ingredient. A corn and soybean meal based diet was used as the control diet (T₀). The experimental diets were formulated by mixing the basal diet with garlic powder (GP) and multi-strain probiotics (MSP) at 0.25, 0.50 or 0.75% (GP+MSP) in diets of groups T₁, T₂ and T₃, respectively. daily weight gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR) was significantly (Pd 0.05) improved in T₂ group as compared to other group. Jejunal villus height and villus width was significantly (P<0.05) higher in T₂ group. The population of cecal microflora was not altered by dietary treatments. Broiler chickens fed the 0.50% (MSP+GP) diet exhibited (P<0.05) lower levels of serum triglycerides and cholesterol compared to control group. Collectively, the results show that dietary supplementation of GP+MSP at 0.50% can be used as a synbiotic for better production and health status in commercial broilers birds.

    Abstract The present study was conducted to identify the polymorphism of estrogen receptor (ESR) gene and its biological association with litter traits (litter size at birth, litter size at weaning, litter weight at birth and litter weight at weaning) of Doom pigs native to Assam. A total of 50 adult pigs (12 males and 38 females) chosen randomly from three different herds (Herd I, Herd II, and Herd III) were utilized in the present study. Detection of polymorphism of ESR gene was done by means of PCR-RFLP method. The amplified PCR product was digested with Pvu II restriction enzyme. PCR-RFLP analysis of ESR gene revealed polymorphic banding pattern. Two genotypes viz. AA and AB were identified. AA genotype yielded one fragment (120 bp) and AB genotype yielded three fragments (120, 65, and 55 bp). BB genotype was not found in the population under study. The frequencies of A and B alleles were found to be 0.650 and 0.350, respectively, and the genotypic frequencies of ESR gene were found to be 0.300 and 0.700 for AA and AB genotypes, respectively. There was no significant (P > 0.05) effect of ESR genotype on litter traits and the population under study was not in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium for ESR gene. Clustal W Multiple alignment of partial sequence of ESR gene revealed single nucleotide changes at 33, 65, 70, 83, and 92ⁿᵈ nucleotide positions. The presence of Pvu II polymorphism and identification of single nucleotide variation of ESR gene opens interesting prospects for improvement of litter traits in Doom pig through selective breeding program, especially based on marker-assisted selection.

    Abstract The present study was undertaken to elucidate mRNA expression pattern of RIG-I and serum cytokines profile alterations in indigenous ducks of Assam, India viz. Pati, Nageswari and Cinahanh in response to natural infections of duck plague virus. Field outbreaks of duck plague virus were attended during the study period for collection of tissue and blood samples. The ducks under study were divided into three distinct groups as per health status i.e. healthy, duck plague infected and recovered. Results from the study revealed that RIG-I gene expression was significantly upregulated in liver, intestine, spleen, brain and PBMC of both infected and recovered ducks. However, fold changes in RIG- I gene expression was lower in recovered ducks as compared to infected ones which indicated continued stimulation of RIG-I gene by the latent viruses. Both serum pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines were elevated in infected ducks as compared to healthy and recovered ducks, indicating activation of inflammatory reactions in the ducks due to virus invasion. The results from the study indicated that innate immune components of the infected ducks were stimulated in order to make an attempt to resist the virus from the infected ducks.

    Abstract Different nanoparticles (NPs) are currently being investigated for their potential role as cryoprotectant during semen cryopreservation in several mammalian species. It may be possible to improve semen quality following cryopreservation by supplementation of NPs in the freezing extenders. The present study was carried out in semen collected from four (4) Assam Hill Goat bucks (10 ejaculates per buck) to investigate the effect of supplementing zinc oxide (ZnO) and selenium (Se) NPs in Tris-citric acid-fructose yolk (TCFY) extender on in vitro sperm quality and in vivo fertility rate after freeze-thawing. The size morphology and zeta potential of ZnO and Se NPs were evaluated prior to its incorporation in the freezing extender. Qualified semen samples (> 70% progressive motility) were divided into five (5) aliquots and then diluted in TCFY extender containing ZnO and Se NP supplementation at different concentrations (T

    Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in serum and seminal plasma and the characteristics of semen in Beetal bucks (Capra hircus). A total of 12 adult Beetal bucks were involved in the study, with each buck providing six ejaculates collected using a standard artificial vagina (n = 72 total). Only qualified semen samples (volume of 0.7 mL, a mass motility rating of 3+ or higher on a 0-+ scale, and individual progressive motility of 80% or more) divided into three fractions were processed for estimation of IGF-1 and other seminal parameters like motility, viability, acrosome integrity, sperm abnormality and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. The first and second fraction were diluted and extended with Optixcell extender (1:15 ratio). The first ejaculate fraction was processed for studying fresh semen parameters and the second fraction was cryopreserved for evaluating frozen semen parameters. French mini straws (0.25 mL) were used for semen filling, and polyvinyl alcohol powder of different colours was used for sealing the extended semen. The third fraction of each ejaculate was centrifuged at room temperature (1100 × g for 7 min) to separate the seminal plasma. Additionally, blood samples were taken from each buck on the same day as semen collection, resulting in a total of 36 blood samples. The results revealed a significant positive correlation (r = .4243; p < .05) between the concentration of IGF-1 in both serum and seminal plasma of the Beetal bucks. Furthermore, the concentration of IGF-1 in serum showed significant positive correlations with sperm viability (r = .554; p < .05), acrosome integrity (r = .527; p < .05), post-thaw sperm motility (r = .407; p < .01), post-thaw sperm viability (r = .426; p < .01) and post-thaw acrosome integrity (r = .333; p < .05). However, it had a significant negative correlation with SOD activity in fresh semen (r = -0.458; p < .01). Moreover, the concentration of IGF-1 in seminal plasma demonstrated significant positive correlations with individual progressive motility (r = .341; p < .05), sperm viability (r = .527; p < .05), acrosome integrity (r = .539; p < .05), sperm plasma membrane integrity (r = .464; p < .05), post-thaw sperm motility (r = .644; p < .01), post-thaw sperm viability (r = .643; p < .01), post-thaw acrosome integrity (r = .487; p < .01) and post-thaw sperm plasma membrane integrity (r = .521; p < .01). Additionally, it showed a significant negative correlation with SOD activity in both fresh semen (r = -0.714; p < .01) and frozen semen (r = -0.558; p < .01) of Beetal bucks. Based on these findings, IGF-1 in seminal plasma can be considered as a potential biomarker for the selection of bucks for breeding purposes.
