Not AvailableAppropriate study design forms the basis of any successful organized research. Irrespective of the underlying rationale of the research question, inappropriate design of an experiment or execution of a study may not give a valid result. As defined, the research should have the following characteristics: it should be undertaken within the framework of a set of philosophies, should have an unbiased objective and a design comprising of methods and techniques that have been tested for their validity and reliability. These principles of research clearly emphasize the need for an appropriate study design. The current review focuses on the planning and analysis of an observational study to obtain significant and accurate findings.Not Availabl

Not AvailableThe livestock rearing system in our country is slowly getting shifted from backyard farming as an addendum to agriculture farming to full fledged scientific rearing. It is being viewed as a separate business with good global marketing potential. In this scenario, it is necessary to have a healthy disease free herd, which calls for an early disease detection and diagnosis. To achieve this a systematic study of diseases in the population is necessary. Such a study i.e., epidemiology, is essential to target the global market for the livestock produce and products. This paper reviews the various procedures that can be adopted for livestock disease investigation which will be approved by the scientific community.Not Availabl

Not AvailableA female Sprague-Dawley rat weighing 230 g at 16 weeks of age showed swelling in the skin of abdominal region. The circumscribed swelling progressively increased in size measuring 4x2 cm and moving along with the skin. Histology of the mass showed acinar structures lined by cuboidal cells, cystic spaces filled with eosinophilic secretion and papillary projections lined by neoplastic cells with hyperchromatic nuclei. Based on histopathological features of the mass, it was diagnosed as sweat gland adenocarcinoma of skin, which is a rare tumour in rats.Not Availabl

Not AvailableA rare case of cavernous haemangioma of liver in a 44 weeks-old female Wistar albino rat is presented in this case report. The abdominal cavity of rat was enlarged and on palpation freely movable mass was observed. Grossly, the mass was reddish black in colour with 5 cm in diameter and histopathology revealed large blood filled spaces communicating with each other, lined by single layer of endothelium, vacuolar degeneration of hepatocytes and bile duct hyperplasia were observed.Not Availabl

Not AvailableAnthrax is a well-known zoonotic disease caused by Bacillus anthracis, a gram positive, spore forming aerobic bacteria. In livestock Anthrax is usually peracute and highly fatal whereas in humans it is a subacute disease and fatal if not treated immediately. Anthrax is prevalent world-wide and is one of the top ten livestock diseases in India and hence forecasting the outbreak of this disease by modelling is very helpful in saving the livestock and thereby averting economic loss to the livestock farmer in particular and country in general. In this paper, the data on the outbreak reports of Anthrax in livestock in Karnataka from 2000 to 2014 have been analysed. To develop the model, in the risk factor domain, amount of rainfall, temperature, soil pH, soil type and soil nutrients were collected retrospectively. Further, remote sensed variables like Normalized Difference Vegetative Index (NDVI) and Land surface temperature (LST) were collected using Moderate Resolution Imaging spectro-radiometer (MODIS) tools. Prediction models of anthrax outbreaks in Karnataka using count models viz. Poisson, Negative Binomial and Zero truncated models were developed. Initially, prediction models were tested for goodness-of-fit using Chi-square test. en the models were evaluated using Akaike information criterion (AIC), AIC for correction (AICC) and Baysian Information Criterion (BIC). Zero-Truncated Poisson model provided the best fit for the data on taluk level outbreak of Anthrax. An attempt is made to explain how various factors influence outbreak of Anthrax. A risk map forecasting the outbreaks of Anthrax at taluk level was also generated.Not Availabl
