In the Service of Nation Since 1889 ICAR-IVRI NEWSLETTER

July, 2019 - June, 2020

During the last year, numerous milestones were achieved in education,

research. There had been development and release of novel technologies

in diagnostics and vaccines to improve livestock and poultry health and

production. Novel technologies in diagnosis of important livestock diseases

like FMD, Blue tongue, Japanese encephalitis; and vaccines against IBD

virus and classical swine fever virus developed and were released by the

ICAR. Further, two technologies viz., anti-tick phytoformulation and Jai-

Gopal vermi-culture were licensed to commercial houses, nine patents

were granted and three patents were filed for various technologies during

the year.

Owing to the spread of COVID-19 pandemic across the country, the ICAR-

IVRI has devoted its trained scientists, technical and other staff from

Izatnagar and Mukteswar campuses to test the suspected samples from

humans and animals by availing its biosafety facilities.

Under the NAHEP-CAAST project, research and training in cutting-edge

areas were imparted to students. Various lectures were delivered by

national and international experts on important topics. Students and

scientists were given opportunity to visit and work in various international

laboratories across the globe.

Mobile applications are one of the modern information and

communication tools where relevant communication reaches directly into

hands of the consumers. The institute has released seven mobile

applications aiding the livestock farmers in animal management and

health.

In this unprecedented global pandemic situation, my sincere appeal to all,

is to wear mask and maintain physical distancing until this pandemic is

over.

Stay Safe! Stay Alert!

(R. K. Singh)

It has been my immense pleasure to lead

the grand old Institute during its 130th

Anniversary and step into a new year 2020

with a lot of expectations, ambiguities and

challenges with the hope that things will

turn good.

ICAR-IVRI Newsletter, July, 2019-June, 2020

o Antimicrobial Resistance: Sixteen MDR

Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia isolates

(~26.3 %) of bovine diarrhoea origin exhibited the

evidence of functional efflux pumps in the drug

accumulation assay when screened for MICCIP in the

presence of EP inhibitors at fixed sub-inhibitory

concentrations [carbonyl-cyanide-m-chlorophenyl

hydrazone (CCCP) and phenylalanine arginine β-

naphthylamide (PAβN)]; this could have additionally

contributed to the fluoroquinolone-resistance among

bovine MDR isolates.

o In the division of Biochemistry, one fnr knock

out (STM:Δfnr) and one fnr codon deoptimised

mutant (STM:dfnr) strain of Salmonella typhimurium

were generated and evaluated for in vitro growth

kinetics under anaerobic conditions. The in vivo

colonization in mice, both mutant strains showed

reduced growth and colonization in mice.

o The Livestock Products Technology Division

developed a technology for chicken skin fat using

deserted poultry sleeves. A process for non-thermal

separation of feathers from skin has been developed

and separated skin is being used for production of

quality fat. The rendering regime for extraction of fat

from chicken skin and for further utilization of residual

skin as source of collagen has been optimized. The

physico-chemical, nutritional, microbiological quality

of extracted chicken skin fat were found optimal. The

sensory acceptability of the convenience meat

products viz: nuggets, enrobed products were

comparitively better than conventional fat souce viz:

refined vegetable oil. A number the equipments have

been designed for adoption by small scale processors.

Probiotic potential of lactic acid bacterial isolates: A comparative study was performed to assess the probiotic

attributes of the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from faeces of indigenous as well as crossbred breeds.

Accordingly, 69 LAB strains were isolated from faeces of new-born calves (40 from Tharparkar and 29 from

Vrindavani). It was concluded that faecal LAB isolates from the indigenous Tharparkar calves appear to be

superior to the isolates from crossbred calves in terms of their probiotic potential.

1. Anti-tick phytoformulation:

2. The safe, stable and effective

anti-tick phytoformulation

developed jointly by ICAR-

IVRI and CSIR- National

Botanical Research Institute,

Lucknow has been

transferred to Ajay Biotech

India Limited on 26.12.2019

in the presence of Director of the company, Dr Subrata Sarkar; Director,

IVRI; CEO, Agrinnovate, India Limited and other dignitaries. The

technology leader, Dr Srikant Ghosh, Principal Scientist, Division of

Parasitology has informed that the technology had been tested in the

field conditions; and more than 80 % efficacy against tick infestations

was achieved.

2. Jaigopal Vermiculture: A new Indian earthworm species “Jai

Gopal” (Perionyx ceylanesis) developed through selection and mating

plan; performed better than exotic earthworms. It has high fecundity,

heat tolerance up to 46 °C and can breed throughout the year except at

very low temperature. The Jai Gopal is having a higher number of

hatchling per cocoon, number of cocoon per week, number of

earthworm population in three months and long-life span. It has a very

good capability to survive on animal and farm-waste; beneficial for

sustainable agriculture, animal husbandry and environment. The

technology had been transferred to GLA University, Mathura; Dr

Shailendra Nath Alipur, Azamgarh; ICAR-DPR, Rajendra Nagar, Hyderabad

2. Live attenuated classical swine fever virus (CSFV) vaccine

IVRI has developed a CSF

Cell Culture Vaccine by

attenuating an Indian

virulent CSF virus in cell

culture. The vaccine virus

has very high yield of 109.5

TCID50/ml and lakhs of

doses can be produced

very easily in cell culture. The vaccine has been released by Dr Trilochan

Mohapatra, Secretary (DARE) & DG, ICAR and Shri Atul Chatrurvedi,

Secretary, DAHD on 3rd Feb 2020 at Krishi Bhawan, ICAR, New Delhi.

3. Monoclonal antibody based blocking ELISA kit for FMD diagnosis in multiple

animal species

A new efficient, sensitive and cost effective blocking ELISA for detection of

Foot and mouth disease antibodies directed to non-structural protein (NSP)

of FMD virus has been developed at IVRI

campus, Bengaluru. The assay offers a

single assay system that can be used in all

species of FMD susceptible animals viz.,

cattle, buffalo, sheep, goats, Mithun, Yak

and wild animals. The assay is highly

sensitive (95.2 %) and specific (98 %).The

assay has been validated in India, Netherlands (Wageningen Bioveterinary

Research Lelystad, Netherlands) and also with Pirbright panel of sera (UK).

4. 4. SVP Gumboro Vac (Subviral particle based Infectious bursal disease vaccine)

The first recombinant vaccine intended for use against Infectious bursal

disease (IBD) for poultry. The IBD virus

infects the primary immune organ of

young chickens, the bursa of Fabricius

resulting in morbidity, mortality and

immune-suppression. Bursal damage

and depletion of B cells enhances the

susceptibility of chickens to other

infections and interferes with

vaccination against other diseases. The

vaccine completely protects the birds

and does not cause bursal damage. The

technology has been released on

26th August, 2019.

Awards &

Recognition

Dr G. Taru Sharma, Head Physiology and

Climatology Division and Director CAFT

in Veterinary Physiology, received Rafi

Ahmed Kidwai Award of ICAR and

selected as the Fellow of National

Academy of Sciences, India, for

outstanding research in Agricultural

sciences.

Dr Med Ram Verma was

awarded with “Bharat Ratna

Dr C. Subramaniam Award for

Outstanding Teachers 2018”

by Indian Council of

Agricultural Research, New

Delhi on 16th July 2019.

Dr Anju Kala has been awarded

with ICAR Jawaharlal Nehru

Award for Outstanding

Doctoral Thesis Research 2018,

Dr Kala worked under the

guidance of Dr D. N. Kamra,

Former ICAR National

professor.

Title of thesis: Effect of diets and essential

oils on metagenomics of rumen microbes

of buffaloes

Present study was conducted to

understand the dynamics of rumen

microbial community as affected by the

diet, essential oil (plant secondary

metabolites) and terminal electron

acceptor using next generation

sequencing and to correlate the obtained

data with fibre degrading ability and

metabolites produced in the rumen of

buffaloes. The study reported more than

60 genera of bacteria in rumen and

correlated the microbial abundance with

the rumen fermentation attributes in

order to study how the microbial diversity

shapes rumen fermentation of buffaloes.

Most of the CAZymes (enzymes

responsible for fibre degradation in

rumen) reported are novel and thus may

serve potential hydrolytic enzyme sources

for improving feed utilization in animals in

future. Combination of essential oil and

nitrate decreased in vitro methane

production with improved degradability

of fibre, which may be useful as a

practical strategy for methane mitigation

in future.
