B.    
MAJOR
ACHIEVEMENTS:

                  
I.           
Mineral Mapping of
soil, feed, fodder and biological samples of livestock documented in different
agro-climatic zone of Assam.

               
II.           
“AAAUVETMIN” Area
Specific Mineral Mixture found to be effective 
in enhancing-

                                                    
i.     
Growth.

                                                  
ii.     
Reproductive
performances.

                                                
iii.     
Immune system
development.

               
III.        
Available technology
related to Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) have been refined, up scaled
and with its applications resulted in production of-

                                                       
i.     
In
vitro Maturation of oocytes (IVM).

                                                     
ii.     
In
vitro fertilization (IVF).

                                                   
iii.     
First ETT borne kid in
indigenous goats of Assam (15-12-1990).

                                                   
iv.     
First ETT born Yak
calves   named Mismo (27-06-2005) in collaboration with
NRC on Yak, ICAR, Dirang.

                                                     
v.     
First ETT born Mithun
calves on 27-03-2012 in collaboration with NRC on Mithun, ICAR, Jharnapani,
Nagaland.

                                                   
vi.     
Cryopreserved
successfully ooocytes and embryos of goat and Mithun resulted in ETT born kid
(20-12-1993) and calves (12-05-2012).

                                                 
vii.     
First piglet born
through non surgical embryo transfer in pig on 7-2-2014 (The work was carried by a team of scientists of ICAR-NRC on Pig, Rani,
Guwahati under the guidance of Professor B. C. Sarmah, Deptt. of Veterinary
Physiology, C.V.Sc., AAU, Khanapara, Guwahati-22, Assam).

            
IV.           
Developed a new
predictive tool for oocyte competence for further use in ART.

               
V.           
Molecular mechanism and
signaling pathways of fatty acid synthesis in pig established.

            
VI.           
Lean meat production in
meat animals showed encouraging result.

         
VII.           
Seasonal mapping of
environmental parameters Temperature Humidity Index (THI) documented.

       VIII.           
Porcine GIT microbes as
a good source of pro-biotic were identified.

            
IX.           
Methodology involving
hormone/s administration and mineral/s supplementation have been refined and up
scaled for successfully addressing-

                                                                         
i.     
Growth

                                                                       
ii.     
Delayed Puberty

                                                                     
iii.     
Post partum anoestrous
and repeat breeding

                                                                     
iv.     
Piglet diarrhoea

                                                                       
v.     
Hooves problems

                                                                     
vi.     
Skin problems etc.

               
X.           
Endocrinological
mapping under different physiological status in major livestock have been
established.

            
XI.           
Heat stress related
protein expressions at different THI have been mapped.
