1- Studies on Mastitis

Researches were done in regards to epidemiological and diagnostic aspects on bovine subclinical and clinical mastitis to evaluate the efficacy of indirect tests in diagnosis of mastitis in species like bovine, buffaloes and caprine. Besides, this studies on clinical and lacteal cellular response in mastitis in Rathi cattle was done with special reference to antibiotic therapy.

2- Studies on Ketosis

Clinical and clinico – biochemical and heamatogical studies on ketosis and milk fever was done in indigenous, crossbred cows, bulffaloes and goats. Studies were also done in regards to biochemical and hormonal changes in ketosis cows in Bikaner region.
Clinico Biochemical and Mineral Studies in Ketotic Cows

3- Cutaneous Leishmaniasis

Incidence of Leishmaniasis tropicainfection was recorded in and around Bikaner in dogs and human being along with its successful cultivation on biphasic and NNN media. Also the diagnosis and successful treatment trials of were performed for cutaneous leishmaniasis in dogs with antigenic characterization of fractions of Leishmaniatropica. Successful experimental transmission of Leishmaniasis tropica infection achieved in dogs and mice.

5- Canine cardiology

Studies were performed in regard to biomarkers,diagnostics and therapeutic aspect of cardiomyopathy and canine arrhythmias in canine.

6- Bovine haemoprotozan

Clinico-haemato-biochemical and therapeutic studies were done on theileriosis in calves along with clinical studies on theileriasis in Rathi cattle and Piroplasmosis in crossbred cows in Bikaner (Rajasthan).
Clinico-haemato-biochemical and therapeutic studies on babesiosis in Cattle is very useful research work in haemoprotozan diseases.

7- Dermatology

Clinical studies were performed on allergic dermatitis, Dermatomycosis in cattle in arid zone of Rajasthan along with experimental studies on allergic dermatitis in cattle. Also the lipid profile was investigated in relation to skin disease in dogs. Highly specialized researches were done in camel in regards to clinical and therapeutic aspects of sarcopticosis. Significance of deficiency of Vitamin A and Zinc is highlighted with reference to dermatology.
