Biological fluids such as blood, milk, fine needle aspirates, urine, and saliva from livestock play a critical role in veterinary medicine, animal husbandry, and agricultural research. These fluids serve as non-invasive or minimally invasive sources of valuable diagnostic information, enabling the monitoring of animal health, disease detection, and the assessment of physiological and metabolic states. Blood, the most widely studied fluid, provides insights into an animal overall health, immune status, and the presence of infections or metabolic disorders. Milk, particularly in dairy cattle, is crucial for assessing mammary gland health and detecting conditions like mastitis. Detection of milk somatic cells on a routine basis and keeping them low is desirable for milk and milk product quality. Fine needle aspirates (FNA) allow for the examination of specific tissues, such as lymph nodes and cancer masses, offering detailed information on cellular composition and the presence of pathological changes in cell morphology and cellular composition. Urine and saliva are increasingly recognized for their diagnostic potential. Urine analysis can reveal metabolic and kidney function and provide early indicators of systemic diseases. Saliva, being easy to collect, is a growing focus for non-invasive monitoring, hormonal changes, cancer, diseases and stress.

The majority of the farming community are not aware of new developments that could help them with enhancing farm productivity, meeting their requirements, or solving problems. Lab to Land has become the motto for progression in agriculture and related sectors. Disseminating the most recent research to end users involves the extension wing, a two-way bridge that connects researchers and farmers. If technology is confined to paper and within the walls of institutions, it is meaningless. Its full potential wont be achieved unless farmers - the end users, try it out in the field and provide input for further development. Not every farmer in the region can be reached by the institute. For those farmers, district-level Krishi Vigyan Kendras, also known as farmers advising centres, are in operation. To meet the requirements of farmers in many sectors, these Kendras have a variety of subject matter experts, including specialists in animal science. Subject matter specialists and scientists working in different Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVS) from the state of Punjab, Jammu andKashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand attended the same along with few stakeholders as the representatives of the farmers communities.

Animal cell culture is a common laboratory technique for maintaining live cells separated from their original tissue (primary cells) or immortal cells (cell lines). The technique of cell culture was discovered in the 19th century after the discovery of the microscope.Presently, the culture of cells is one of the most important tools of life sciences research and is being used by investigators to understand advanced understanding of cell growth and differentiation and mechanisms of normal/ abnormal functioning of various cells. In addition to that, cell culture is employed in the generation of vaccines, the production of pharmaceutical proteins, and the safety testing of drugs.

Bioinformatics is a significant field in the biological sciences that requires extensive knowledge and expertise in both statistics and computer science. The increasing number of new sequencing projects has made bioinformatics an essential tool in understanding biological processes, particularly in the agricultural and healthcare sectors, with numerous applications. This book, Concepts in Bioinformatics, Basics to Advances, is a comprehensive resource for students and researchers, providing a quick reference guide to the subject. It covers a wide range of topics, including molecular data analysis, multiple sequence alignment, primer design, phylogenomics, omics, molecular modeling, drug design, and synthetic biology. The book begins by introducing readers to the basics of bioinformatics and its history, followed by a discussion of important concepts, such as databases, sequence alignment, primer design, and molecular phylogeny. These topics are essential for postgraduate students in bioinformatics, biotechnology, and molecular biology. Later chapters delve into more advanced areas, including BLAST and FASTA, protein structure prediction through homology modeling, and molecular modeling, which are crucial for in silico analysis. Overall, this book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to gain a comprehensive understanding of bioinformatics and its applications.

Zoonotic diseases pose a serious threat to global health and economy. Domestic and wild birds play crucial roles in transmission and spread of important zoonotic pathogens, with significant implications on human and avian health. Although zoonotic diseases have been extensively studied, information on various aspects of avian zoonotic pathogens have not been revisited or revised to any great extent. This book is a comprehensive and updated compilation of important zoonotic diseases that are transmitted by domestic and wild birds, and consists of 21 chapters that meticulously describe the (i) etiology and evolution, (ii) complex epidemiology, such as migration pathways in context of disease transmission, (iii) pathogenesis, (iv) clinical signs and necropsy findings, (v) diagnostics including latest molecular assays, and (vi) preventative and control strategies, with an emphasis on therapeutics and prophylaxis, of important zoonotic pathogens (bacterial, fungal, parasitic and viral) of avian origin in humans and birds. Each chapter is aptly supported by interactive tables and figures, and features an updated reference section. This book aims to create awareness and enlighten students of veterinary and human medicine on the role of birds in zoonoses, and would serve as a useful reference for working veterinarians, human doctors, and public health experts.
