Indian Journal of Animal Research, 2015Co-Authors: B. S. Meena, H.c. Verma, H. R. Meena, Amit Singh, D.k. MeenaAbstract:The profitability of Dairy Animals has direct relation with the performance of productive and reproductive parameters of Dairy Animals. Hence, an attempt was made to measure the productive and reproductive performances of Dairy Animals and farmers’ knowledge on these aspect in Faizabad district of Uttar Pradesh. For this purpose 150 farmers engaged in Dairying were interviewed and it was found that the 38.62 percent of respondents were having medium level of knowledge about Dairying, while about 36.55 percent of respondents were having high levels of knowledge on the productive and reproductive aspect of Dairy Animals. Knowledge index on productive and reproductive parameters of Dairy Animals was calculated and observed that respondent were possessing 66.79 per cent knowledge in study area. It was further observed that respondents were having good knowledge (68.91%) on productive practices as compared to reproductive practices (66.10%). Simultaneously the respondents who reared Crossbred cow based herd were having knowledge up to the extent of 72.87 per cent on productive and reproductive practices. Though the respondents were facing serious constraints in rearing, they were frequently updating their knowledge on productive and reproductive practices as compared to Buffalo and indigenous cow based Dairy farmers.

MeenaAbstract:The study was conducted in Jhansi district of Bundelkhand region to know the adoption of scientific feeding practices of Dairy Animals. The district has been divided in 8 strata based on the animal production, milk production and forest cover. From each stratum, one village was selected randomly to represent the strata. 30 respondents from different land holding categories were selected in each village by applying proportionate random sampling technique. The respondents were those who had at least one milch animal at the time of investigation. The information was collected through well structured and pre-tested interview schedule by interviewing 240 farmers from 8 villages. The study was conducted in Jhansi district of Bundelkhand region to know the level of knowledge and extent of adoption regarding scientific feeding practices. The knowledge level was highest (69.60%) and the extent of adoption was found to be highest (49.76%) in dry animal feeding practices followed by feeding of heifers i.e. 65.82 percent & 48.22 percent, and lowest was observed in the feeding of calves (43.08% & 32.63%). Further it was found that large farmers possess maximum knowledge up to the level of 60.57 percent and lowest knowledge was possessed by medium farmers (57.17%), where as remaining three categories of farmers were having about 58 percent extent of knowledge in relation to scientific feeding practices of Dairy Animals. The extent of adoption was highest among small farmers category (45.85%), followed by large (44.60%), marginal (43.55%), medium (42.55%) and landless (40.78%). On the whole the respondents of the study area were having 58.66 per cent level of knowledge and 43.47% extent of adoption on scientific feeding practices of Dairy Animals. The use of localite and cosmopolite sources of information accelerated the adoption of scientific feeding practices of Dairy Animals).

Knowledge Index for Measuring Knowledge and Adopting Scientific Methods in Treatment of Reproductive Problems of Dairy Animals
Journal of Agricultural Science, 2012Co-Authors: M. S. Meena, B. S. Meena, Krishna M. Singh, B. S. Malik, Manish KanwatAbstract:Reproductive problems among Dairy Animals are one of the major causes of loss in Dairy sector. These problems can be tackled by imparting appropriate knowledge to the livestock owners. An attempt was made to measure the knowledge of livestock owners by developing a knowledge test on reproductive problems of Dairy Animals. The study was undertaken in Karnal district of Haryana state, India. Data were solicited from 300 livestock farmers who had at least one milch animal at the time of investigation. In addition to developing schedules for socio-economic variables, a knowledge test was also developed for measuring knowledge construct. Data were solicited on scientific treatment of affected Dairy Animals and 59.54% knowledge was observed on reproductive traits. Study indicates that majority of livestock farmers adopted scientific methods for treating their Animals. Respondents’ age, extension contact and milk production were positively and significantly correlated with knowledge. Therefore, imparting quality practical training and periodical assessment of performance of lay inseminators for improving their skills and knowledge regarding estrus detection and insemination needs to be emphasized. Extension machinery has to be an ideal bridge between research/development institutions and Dairy farmers for their catalytic effect (Meena & Malik, 2009). Extensive awareness programs are needed for inculcating scientific outlook among livestock farmers on these complex problems. Easy accessibility of veterinary hospital at village level can reduce the adoption of indigenous technical knowledge in treatment of these complex problems.

Technological Gap in Feeding Practices of Dairy Animals in Jhansi District
Journal of Community Mobilization and Sustainable Development, 2010Co-Authors: B. S. Meena, Sadhna Pandey, Purushottam Sharma, Ata-ul-munim TakAbstract:The low average milk production by the Indian cattle and buffaloes can be attributed to several reasons. The study was conducted in Jhansi district of Bundelkhand region. Respondents were selected through proportionate random sampling technique. The results of the study showed that the farmers had high technological gap in feeding practices of Dairy Animals. It was found that respondents had high technological gap on colostrum feeding and quantity of milk to be fed to newborn calves. The findings were justified as farmers were having less knowledge on this aspect. It was observed that small farmers concentrated their mind on care of advanced pregnant Animals. Land less and marginal farmers had more technological gap as well as less number of wet Animals in their herd.

participatory identification of reproductive problems among Dairy Animals and constraints faced by farmers in haryana
Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2009Co-Authors: M. S. Meena, B. S. MalikAbstract:The study investigates the prominent reproductive problems among Dairy Animals and associated constraints in its medication. Study was undertaken in 12 villages of Karnal district (Haryana) in participatory mode. Responses were obtained from 300 Dairy farmers who had at least one milch cattle. Results revealed that repeat breeding followed by anoestrus was observed as prominent reproductive problems. Mostly farmers had faced medium level of reproductive problems (74.33%). The major identified constraints were lack of facility of doctors during night, high incidence of repeat breeding, and lack of good quality bulls at village level. Mostly respondents faced medium level of constraints (61.67%) in medication of these reproductive problems. There is need of an efficient extension setup, well equipped with know-how, and with solid infrastructural back up which can cater the needs of Dairy farmers. Imparting quality practical training and periodical assessment of performance of lay inseminators will improve their skill and knowledge level. Extension machinery has to be an ideal bridge between research/development institutions and Dairy farmers for their catalytic effect.

n glycosylation proteomic characterization and cross species comparison of milk whey proteins from Dairy Animals
Proteomics, 2017Co-Authors: Yongxin Yang, Nan Zheng, Xiaowei Zhao, Yangdong Zhang, Rongwei Han, Jinhui Yang, Shengguo Zhao, Tongjun Guo, Changjiang Zang, Jiaqi WangAbstract:Glycosylated proteins in milk have been implicated in multiple biological roles. However, the N-glycoprotein components and their complexity in milk whey from Dairy Animals are not well characterized. Here, a modified proteomics approach consisting of N-glycopeptide enrichment and identification was used to map the N-glycoproteome profile of milk whey from Holstein and Jersey cows, buffaloes, yaks, goats, camels, and horses. A total of 233 N-glycosylation sites, corresponding to 147 N-glycoproteins, were detected in the studied Animals. Most of the identified N-glycosylation sites were not characterized in the database and were considered as unknown. Functional analysis of the identified glycoproteins demonstrated that response to stimulus was the most abundant GO category shared in the studied Animals according to their annotation. Lysosome, glycosaminoglycan degradation, and extracellular matrix-receptor interaction pathways were shared between Holstein and Jersey cows, and yaks. N-glycoprotein components of milk whey from Holstein and Jersey cows, buffaloes, yaks, and goats were more similar to each other than to those of camels and horses. These results significantly extend the number of known N-glycosylation sites and reveal in-depth composition and potential functions of N-glycoproteins in milk whey, which in turn provides insights to further explore N-glycoprotein biosynthesis in the studied Animals.

proteomic analysis and cross species comparison of casein fractions from the milk of Dairy Animals
Scientific Reports, 2017Co-Authors: Xiaxia Wang, Yongxin Yang, Xiaowei Zhao, Dongwei Huang, Xiaocheng Pan, Huiling Zhao, Guanglong ChengAbstract:Casein micelles contribute to the physicochemical properties of milk and may also influence its functionality. At present, however, there is an incomplete understanding of the casein micelle associated proteins and its diversity among the milk obtained from different species. Therefore, milk samples were collected from seven Dairy Animals groups, casein fractions were prepared by ultracentrifugation and their constituent proteins were identified by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. A total of 193 distinct proteins were identified among all the casein micelle preparations. Protein interaction analysis indicated that caseins could interact with major whey proteins, including β-lactoglobulin, α-lactalbumin, lactoferrin, and serum albumin, and then whey proteins interacted with other proteins. Pathway analysis found that the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor signaling pathway is shared among the studied Animals. Additionally, galactose metabolism pathway is also found to be commonly involved for proteins derived from camel and horse milk. According to the similarity of casein micelle proteomes, two major sample clusters were classified into ruminant Animals (Holstein and Jersey cows, buffaloes, yaks, and goats) and non-ruminants (camels and horses). Our results provide new insights into the protein profile associated with casein micelles and the functionality of the casein micelle from the studied Animals.

Metabolomic biomarkers identify differences in milk produced by Holstein cows and other minor Dairy Animals.
Journal of proteomics, 2016Co-Authors: Yongxin Yang, Nan Zheng, Xiaowei Zhao, Yangdong Zhang, Rongwei Han, Jinhui Yang, Shengguo Zhao, Tongjun Guo, Changjiang ZangAbstract:Abstract Several milk metabolites are associated with breeds or species of Dairy Animals. A better understanding of milk metabolites from different Dairy Animals would advance their use in evaluating milk traits and detecting milk adulteration. The objective of this study was to characterize the milk metabolite profiles of Chinese Holstein, Jersey, yak, buffalo, goat, camel, and horse and identify any differences using non-targeted metabolomic approaches. Milk samples were tested using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Data were analyzed using a multivariate analysis of variance and differences in milk metabolites between Holstein and the other Dairy Animals were assessed using orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis. Differential metabolites were identified and some metabolites, such as choline and succinic acid, were used to distinguish Holstein milk from that of the other studied Animals. Metabolic pathway analysis of different metabolites revealed that glycerophospholipid metabolism as well as valine, leucine, and isoleucine biosynthesis were shared in the other ruminant Animals (Jersey, buffalo, yak, and goat), and biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids was shared in the non-ruminant Animals (camel and horse). These results can be useful for gaining a better understanding of the differences in milk synthesis between Holstein and the other Dairy Animals.
