Title : Identification And Control Of Marek's Disease In Nepal. Material Type: printed text Authors: MP Acharya, Author ; KB Bohara, Author ; UM.Singh, Author ; DK Chetri, Author Pagination: 223-227 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Marek's disease was a major threat to commercial poultry ofNepal during 1998 to 2002, particularly for egg
industries. This study was carried out during 200 I to 2003. In first phase Rispen's cell associated (a new and
effective) vaccine was identified and recommended for strategic application that gave satisfactory results
and Marek's disease incidence reduced to a minimum level. In second phase vaccine and vaccination
program at hatchery level was monitored. First vaccination in day old chicks with Rispen's vaccine and
second vaccination within seven days with HVT vaccine had showed very satisfactory results. During
monitoring, involvement of avian leucosis virus and MDV together was suspected in broiler breeder, which
was later confirmed (ALV -J) by Kimron Veterinary Institute Beta Degan, Israel by polymerase chain
reaction (PCR) test. In third phase again epidemiological survey was carried out to monitor the current
MDV events. The results of the survey revealed that where recommended strategy was followed and
practiced MD incidence rates were dropped.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=307 Identification And Control Of Marek's Disease In Nepal. [printed text] / MP Acharya, Author ; KB Bohara, Author ; UM.Singh, Author ; DK Chetri, Author . - [s.d.] . - 223-227 p.

Title : Immunomodulatory Property Of Urtica Species (Sisno) Material Type: printed text Authors: DR Khanal, Author ; B Piya, Author ; Acharya, M, Author ; UM.Singh, Author Pagination: 228-230 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: The effects of stinging nettle on immune response of broilers were investigated. Thirty birds were divided
into two groups namely treatment and control, each group comprising of 15 birds. Treatment group was fed
with 3% of nettle powder mixed with commercial broiler feed once a week whereas control group received
only commercial broiler feed. All birds were vaccinated against New Castle Disease (ND) and Infectious
Bursal Disease (IBD) with ND vaccine (Fl strain) on Day 7 and IBD vaccine (Intermediate strain) on Day
14, respectively by intraocular route. Growth performances of chicken and antibody titer against NO were
evaluated. Body weight of individual bird of both groups was recorded weekly. Sera were collected at the
end of 5th and 71h week oftrial. The haemagglutination (HA) and haemagglutination inhibition (HI) test were
carried out for ND. The treatment group (1709.64 ± 209.83g) was found to perform better than control group
(1619.33 ± 176.78g) in terms of growth performance as well as antibody titer against ND. A protective level
of antibodies was maintained in treatment group whereas control group showed low level of antibody titer.
This study indicates that nettle supplementation helps to improve immune status besides exhibiting positive
effect on growth performance.Immunomodulatory Property Of Urtica Species (Sisno) [printed text] / DR Khanal, Author ; B Piya, Author ; Acharya, M, Author ; UM.Singh, Author . - [s.d.] . - 228-230 p.

Title : Investigation Of Economically Important Poultry Diseases Material Type: printed text Authors: UM.Singh, Author ; SR Aryal, Author ; MP.Acharya, Author ; Khanal, D.R., Author ; Shrestha, S., Author Pagination: 215-218 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: A total of 80 birds were examined by post mortem examination. Major diseases identified in younger and
grower birds were Collibacillosis, Gumboro disease, Leechi heart disease, Aflatoxicosis and Coccidiosis.
Salmonellosis and Marek's disease was the major disease problem in layers. Salmonella gallinarum has been
isolated from liver of dead birds. A total of 190 layer birds of 12 layer farms located at Katmandu valley was
screened for salmonellosis by using salmonella colored antigen and 56 birds (29.47 %) ~ere tested positive.
12 cloacal swabs from sero-positive reactors birds were rendered for bacteriological culture and two were
found positive. Serum samples collected from different government and private poultry farms and all the
serum samples were found negative for antibodies against avian influenza.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=305 Investigation Of Economically Important Poultry Diseases [printed text] / UM.Singh, Author ; SR Aryal, Author ; MP.Acharya, Author ; Khanal, D.R., Author ; Shrestha, S., Author . - [s.d.] . - 215-218 p.

Title : Preliminary Study Of Caprine Paratuberculosis In Nepalese Goats. Material Type: printed text Authors: UM.Singh, Author ; MP.Acharya, Author ; SP Shrestha, Author Pagination: 208-210 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Paratuberculosis (Johne's disease) is a chronic granulomatous disease mainly of ruminants. An attempt was
made to study the occurrence of paratuberculosis in Nepalese goats by examining serum and faecal samples
from suspected animals of Agricultural Research Station, Bandipur, Goat market Kalanki and Livestock
service center, Lubhu, Lalitpur. Samples collected from goats of ARS, Bandipur revealed Agar gel
immunodiffusion test 2 ( 16.66%), faecal smear 4 (33.33%) and faecal culture examination 1 (8.33%)
positive. Whereas serum samples and faecal samples from goats of goat market, Kathmandu and Lubhu,
Lalitpur were detected negative for AGIO and Mycobacterium paratuberculosis organisms. This study has
indicated the presence of Caprine paratuberculosis in Nepalese goats.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=303 Preliminary Study Of Caprine Paratuberculosis In Nepalese Goats. [printed text] / UM.Singh, Author ; MP.Acharya, Author ; SP Shrestha, Author . - [s.d.] . - 208-210 p.

Title : Preparation Of Salmonella Pullorum Colour Antigen And Seroprev Alence Of Pullorum Disease And Fowl Typhoid In Poultry Material Type: printed text Authors: SR Aryal, Author ; UM.Singh, Author ; DR Khanal, Author ; D Karki, Author ; MP Acharya, Author Pagination: 211-214 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Salmonella pullorum colored antigen was prepared using standard Salmonella pullorum freeze dried seed
bacteria (SP 17) brought from Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI), India. The agglutinability of
prepared antigen was compared with the antigen produced at IVRI with known positive and with positive
and negative serum from chicken. The agglutinability, of both antigens, was found to be similar. Using
antigen prepared at Animal Health Research Division, a total of 1280 birds of government and private
poultry of Kathmandu, Tarahara, Parwanipur and Chitawan of above 16 weeks of age. have been screened
for seroprevalence of pullorum disease and fowl typhoid in poultry. However, the specific type of the
disease was not identified as the serological testing does not differentiate the type of disease. Out of total
screened birds Ill (8.67%) were found positive. The entire positive cases Ill (8.67%) of birds were from
