Attraction towards livestock predation leads conflict. 92 scats samples of Panthera tigris were analyzed. Place of collection of scats indicates the movement pattern of tiger and tiger’s food and feeding behaviour. Scat analysis is the method by which we can reconstruct the diet of tiger because direct killing of prey by tiger is very tough to find even we cannot track at all. Undigested remains in the form of hair depict the prey species and choice of food. By this finding of livestock remains in the form of hair provide the dynamics of conflict with scientific evidence. By this conflict we can correlate the conservation strategies and its implications at all. Some scat sample collected from Corbett periphery and it indicated the movement pattern and scientific evidence of livestock predation i.e. findings of undigested hairs remain of cattle etc.<#LINE#>@Fundamental of Wildlife, Rajesh Gopal@Natraj Publication, (2012)@No$Alldredge J.R. and Ratti J.T.@Comparison of some statistical techniques for analysis of resources selection@The Journal of Wildlife Management, 56, 1-9 (1998)@Yes$Bagchi S. and Mishra C.@Living with large carnivores:predation on livestock by the snow leopard ( Uncia uncial), Journal of zoology@The Zoological Society of London, 268 (2006)@Yes$Andheria A.P., Karanth K.U. and Kumar N.S.@Diet and prey profiles of three sympatric large carnivores in Bandipur Tiger Reserve@India, Journal of Zoology, (2007)@Yes$Aragona M. and Setz E.Z.@Diet of maned wolf, (Chrysocyon brachyurus) (Mammalia:Canidae), during  wet and dry seasons at Ibitipoca State Park@Brazil.

In the current study, a total of 204 canine blood samples with history of fever (1040 to 1050 F), were collected and examined at Regional Disease Diagnostic Laboratory, Jalandhar (Punjab) during a period of one year (April 2013 to March 2014). Examination of blood smears revealed 8.33% (17/204) of canines were positive for canine babesiosis comprising of B. gibsoni (7.84%) and B. canis (0.49%). The prevalence of the babesiosis was comparatively higher in males than female dogs.<#LINE#>Kuttler K.L., Zaugg J.L. and Yunker C.E.@The pathogenicity and immunologic relationship of a virulent and a tissue-culture-adapted Babesia bovis@Veterinary Parasitology, 27, 239-244 (1988)@Yes$Uilenberg G.@Babesia: A historical overview, Vet.

Vermi compost is nutrient rich, with microbiologically-active organic amendment which results from the interactions between earthworms and micro organisms by the breakdown of organic matter. Earthworms convert the waste material into small particles by breaking in the gut and obtain the nutrients from the microbes that harbour upon them. This process increases the rate of degradation of the organic waste matter, modifies the physico-chemical properties of the matter and leads to formation of humus in which unstable waste matter is completely oxidized. Variousphysico-chemical and biological characteristics of soil are enhanced by amendment with vermin compost as well as it aggregates stability of soil, growth of plants, increases microbial activity and enzyme production. Research have shown that vermin compost has an effective role in improving growth and yield of different field crops, including vegetables, ornamentals, cereals and fruit crops.<#LINE#>Nath G., Singh K. and Singh D.K.@Chemical Analysis of Vermicomposts/Vermiwash of Different Combinations of Animal, Agro and Kitchen Wastes, Australian Journal of Basic Applied Sciences.@3(4), 3671-3676 (2009)@Yes$Orozco S.H., Cegarra J., Trujillo L.M. and Roig A.@Vermicomposting of coffee pulp using the dry weight Plant dry biomass of strawberry earthworm Eiseniafetida: Effects on C and N increased significantly on addition of vermicompost in contents and the availability of nutrients@Biol.
