Agriculture & farmingOctober 2014Youth in Agriculture and Rural Development
by K. Narayana Gowda, M.S. Nataraju & V. Veerabhadraiah
During last one decade, rural India witnessed the continuous migration of rural youth to urban areas. This situation is very serious and alarming and the migration of rural youth created a vacuum in the villages. It has been observed and expressed by many enlightened persons that villages are becoming old age homes draining away the talented farm youth to stay away from farming. The contents of book covers the issues like youth-concept, characteristics, interests, aspirations; youth in natural resource management; ICT and rural youth; Extension approaches and strategies; SHGs and Group approaches; Mobilization of Rural Youth; Gender issues and women empowerment and successful case studies on farm youth. The major sub heads of the book are: Farm Youth In Agriculture, Capacity Building Of Rural Youth, Entrepreneurship Among Rural Youth, Rural Youth And Information Communication Technology, Women In Agriculture, Rural Youth In Integrated Farming, Leisure Time Utilization By Rural Youth, Case Studies On Rural Youth

Agriculture & farmingSeptember 2018Parasitology
A Research Guide
by M.C. Agrawal
Join research and be a celebrity: You are well aware about Galileo, Newton, Fleming, Edward Jenner, Charles Darwin, Ronald Rose etc who have born centuries ago but still remembered for their path breaking research. This is the power of research which is unparallel to any other profession. Sadly, our young generation is not well versed with research as career and have developed some wrong notions about it. If you are intelligent, diligent and wish to make some achievement in your life, why dont join a research career. Even richest persons of the world (Noble, Ruther Ford, Billgate, Narain Murthy etc.) are those who made some innovations in their life. Alternatively, if you consider to pass life as a mission, you may join research in parasitic diseases, a less travelled path, which will help you to serve the humanity by finding some new ideas which will help in eradicating diseases of humans and his animals. This is the book which will provide you some details how you may join research activities in Parasitology and carry over research work in your life.

Animal husbandryOctober 2016Protected Nutrient Technology for Crossbred Cattle
by S.H. Mane & Y.G. Fulpagare
The feeding management plays an important role in sustaining higher milk production in high producing dairy animals and especially nutrition during transition period of dairy animals during 3 weeks prior and 3 weeks after parturition is critically important to health, production and profitability of dairy. Nutrition and management of cows during the transition period has received tremendous interest in recent years in developed countries but relatively less attention is being paid in the developing countries like India. With understanding of role of energy and protein nutrition in managing the transition period some technologies like protected fat and protein alone or in combination has been practiced by few dairy farmers but many are still ignorant about it. The experimental results obtained with the use of these technologies have been discussed in greater depth in this book with emphasis on its profitable effect on early lactation performance and post partum reproduction. The role of energy nutrients as by pass fat and protein as by pass protein in isolation and in combination has also been discussed in the light of regaining the positive energy balance state after the parturition and its association with increased milk yield and improved post partum reproduction

Agricultural scienceAugust 2017Climate Resilient Animal Agriculture
by GSLHV Prasada Rao
Animal husbandry is strongly influenced by weather and climate. Climate change/variability imposes multiple stresses in animals and thus vital to understand the impact of environmental stress on livestock production and reproduction. Among the environmental variables affecting livestock, heat stress seems to be one of the more intriguing factors making difficult animal reproduction and production. Information and knowledge on animal responses to the environment continues to be in process, managing livestock to reduce the impact of adverse weather and climate remains a challenge. Responding to the challenges of global warming necessitate a paradigm shift in the practice of agriculture and in the role of livestock within the farming system. The key thematic issues on environment stress and livestock production includes: early warning system, multiple stress research, exploitation of genetic potential of native breeds, suitable breeding programme and nutritional intervention research. Livestock farmers should have key roles in determining what adaptation and mitigation strategies they support if these have to sustain livestock production in changing climate. The integration of new technologies into the research and technology transfer systems potentially offers many opportunities to further the development of climate change adaptation strategies. This publication is therefore a multi-authored attempt to present the scientific fraternity high quality resource material in the field of climate change and livestock production. Attempts were made to discuss the adaptive mechanism that the animal exhibits to counteract the adverse effects of heat stress. In addition to the adaptive mechanisms, several management and feeding practices have also been established as tested methods for reduction of stress effects in livestock. It also highlights the challenges the livestock industry faces in maintaining the delicate balance between animal welfare and production. This book is a comprehensive resource for the researchers, teachers and students to understand stress, stress management and livestock productivity so as to sustain animal production in the Country under projected climate change scenario.

Agronomy & crop productionNovember 2020Advances in Crop Production and Climate Change
by A.S. Yadav, Narendra Kumar, Sanjay Arora, D.S. Srivastava & Hemlata Pant
In recent years India has made notable advances in the fisheries. Progresses made in refinements of vessels, new line materials and line-handling systems, preserving the catch, the availability of oceanographic-sensor equipments and the utilization of satellite technology to locate potential fishing grounds have greatly improved the fishing power of longline vessels. Post harvest technology of fish has evolved in the last one decade to a more energy-efficient, cost-effective, and quality upgrading technology. Since fresh fish can get spoiled very quickly, the development of technology for post-harvest preservation and methodology to convert fish to value added products have also become popular in recent times. Value addition helps in getting high price for the fishery products. There is a need to develop competent human resources in the field of post harvest management of fish and production of value added products from them. It is required to inculcate vocational and entrepreneurial skills in order to widen employment opportunities, particularly among rural youth and the disadvantaged sections of the society as well as to enable self employment.
