The present investigation was carried out to study the disease incidence pattern among young calves over different seasons, age groups and sexes. Among diseases, diarrhoea showed highest (39.85%) incidence followed by fever (18.92%) and lameness (5.85%). Diarrhoeal incidences were significantly higher (P<0.01) in Murrah calves than in Karan Fries, Sahiwal and Tharparkar calves. Age significantly (P<0.01) influenced the occurrence of diarrhoea, being highest in the first month of life. Maximum incidence of diarrhoea was recorded in rainy season. Fever incidences were significantly (P<0.01) higher in Murrah calves than on Karan Fries calves. Incidence rate of fever was higher during first, second and third months of life and during autumn season. Season also had significant (P<0.01) effect on the incidence of lameness with highest incidence in autumn (9.13%). Age group had significant (P<0.01) influence on lameness incidence rate being highest in first age group of 0-30...

A novel noninvasive genomic DNA isolation protocol from fecal tissue, by the proteinase K digestion and guanidine hydrochloride extraction method, was assessed for the genotyping of cattle and buffalo. The epithelial tissues present on the surface of the feces were used as source for isolation of genomic DNA. The DNA isolated from fecal tissue was found to be similar as those obtained from other body tissues such as skin, brain, liver, kidney, and muscle. The quality of DNA was checked by agarose gel electrophoresis and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We successfully amplified a 320 bp MHC class II DRB gene and a 125 bp mt-DNA D-loop region from isolated genomic DNA of cattle. Thus, the DNA isolated using this method was suitable for common molecular biology methods, such as restriction enzyme digestion and genotyping of dairy animals through PCR.

The present study was conducted to study the diversity of MHC-DRB3 alleles in Indian cattle and buffalo breeds. Previously reported BoLA-DRB exon 2 alleles of Indian Zebu cattle, Bos taurus cattle, buffalo, sheep, and goats were analyzed for the identities and divergence among various allele sequences. Comparison of predicted amino acid residues of DRB3 exon 2 alleles with similar alleles from other ruminants revealed considerable congruence in amino acid substitution pattern. These alleles showed a high degree of nucleotide and amino acid polymorphism at positions forming peptide-binding regions. A higher rate of nonsynonymous substitution was detected at the peptide-binding regions, indicating that BoLA-DRB3 allelic sequence evolution was driven by positive selection.

Abstract
Bodo Language belongs to the Sino Tibetan language family under the sub-branch of AssamBurmese group. Bodo language is spoken by the Bodo people in North-East India mainly in the state of Assam. Bodo is one of the recognised language under eight scheduled of Indian constitution. Devanagari script is used in the language for all purposes. In 1952 Bodo Sahitya Sabha, the apex body of language and literature was formed. In 1963 Bodo language has been introduced as the medium of instruction in Lower Primary schools and later up to secondary level. It has been recognised as the state associate official language in the state of Assam in 1984. Gradually the Bodo language is introduced as Modern Indian Language in graduate level. In some Universities of North East India it is introduced as a Modern Indian Language. Post graduate course in Bodo is introduced in Gauhati University in 1997. Since immediately different genres of literatures have been created in the language. And right from the recognition as the scheduled language of India, the language also in the pace of development in technology and in job opportunities etc. Steadily the language has on the pavement to introduce itself a developed language. 
Keywords: Bodo Language, History of Bodo Language, Bodo Language and its survival.

ABSTRACT
Collection of natural language texts in to a machine readable format for investigating various linguistic
phenomenons is call a corpus. A well structured corpus can help to know how people used that language in
day-to-day life and to build an intelligent system that can understand natural language texts. Here we
review our experience with building a corpus containing 1.5 million words of Bodo language. Bodo is a
Sino Tibetan family language mainly spoken in Northern parts of Assam, the North Eastern state of India.
We try to improve the quality of Bodo corpora considering various characteristics like representativeness,
machine readability, finite size etc. Since Bodo is one of the Indian language which is lesser reach on
literary and computationally we face big problem on collecting data and our generated corpus will help the
researchers in both field.

Abstract
The present paper deals with the design and implementation of multilingual lexical resources of
Assamese and Bodo Language with the help of Hindi Wordnet. Here, we present the multilingual
dictionaries (for Hindi, Assamese and Bodo), synset based word search for Assamese-Hindi and
Bodo-Hindi language. These words, of course, will have to go through some pre-processing
before finally being uploaded to a database. The user-interface is being developed for specific
language (Assamese, Bodo and Hindi language).
