Influence Of Multi-enzyme (liptozyme®) Addition On Performance And Haematological Parameters Of Growing Pigs Fed Diets With Fermented Icacina Mannii Meal
The increasing cost and scarcity of maize in pig production necessitate the exploration of alternative energy feed resources such as fermented and pressed Icacina mannii meal (FPIM). A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of multi-enzyme (Liptozyme) supplementation on growth performance, blood profile, and cost benefits of growing pigs fed diets containing... Continue here

Haematological Profile, Henday Production And Effects Of Thi On Isa Brown Layers Fed Shrimp Waste Meal Based Rations
This study evaluated the replacement of fish meal with shrimp waste meal (SWM) as an animal protein source in the diets of laying hens and examined the effects of temperature and relative humidity on egg production. Ninety Point-of-Lay (POL) Isa Brown pullets were randomly assigned to five dietary treatments in a completely randomised design. Each treatment... Continue here

Integrating Host Genomics And The Gut Microbiome In Livestock Breeding: Toward A Holobiont-based Selection Paradigm. A Review
There is an increasing need to boost livestock efficiency and sustainability as well as the ability to cope while meeting global protein demands. Genomic selection has made significant genetic gains but has been able to explain only a portion of the phenotype in complex characters such as feed efficiency, growth rates, methane emissions, and resistance to...

Effect Of Feeding Diet Types Containing Pleurotus Ostreatus (oyster Mushroom) On Gut And Reproductive Traits Of Pullets
In response to the growing concerns of the health of people worldwide, there has been increased pressure to find safe, natural alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters in poultry production. The current experiment compared the impacts of the dietary inclusion and feed form of oyster mushrooms on the gut and development of the reproductive organs of the pullets.... Continue here

Performance And Economy Of Broiler Chicken Fed Diets Containing Graded Levels Of Wild Aerial Yam (dioscorea Bulbifera) Meal (waym)
The search for alternative feed ingredients has become increasingly important due to the rising cost of conventional energy sources in poultry production. A study was conducted to evaluate the growth performance and economic implications of feeding broiler chickens’ diets containing graded levels (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) of wild aerial yam meal (WAYM)....

Evaluation Of Egg Quality Traits In Lohmann Brown Layers Treated With Clomiphene Citrate
The study’s objective was to assess how Clomiphene Citrate (CC) treatment affected several aspects of egg quality in Lohmann Brown (LB) layer characteristics. The study was Phase I (Non-mating Phase) research, which deals with the properties of eggs. In this experiment, CC was given orally to 18 LB hens for six weeks (stimulatory stage) and then withheld for... Continue here

Gas Chromatographic–mass Spectroscopic (gc-ms) Quantification Of Volatile Constituents Of Ethanol Extract Of Andrographis Paniculata Collected From Nekede, Imo State, Nigeria
Andrographis paniculata is a globally recognised medicinal plant widely used for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and metabolic regulatory properties. While existing pharmacological literature has largely focused on its polar diterpenoid lactones, such as andrographolide, there remains a critical research gap concerning the plant’s volatile and...

Polymorphisms Of The Ctnnb1 Gene In Three Breeds Of Sheep In Danbatta Local Government, Kano State, Nigeria
The present study investigated the polymorphisms of the Catenin Beta 1 (CTNNB1) gene in three indigenous sheep breeds, namely Balami, Yankasa, and Uda sheep reared in Kano State, Nigeria, and evaluated their association with growth and reproductive traits. A total of 150 sheep, comprising 50 animals from each breed, were sampled from selected flocks across Kano... Continue here

Age-related Allometric Growth Patterns Of Skull Morphometry In Kuri Cattle (bos Taurus) Part (1): Dorsal And Lateral Aspect
The present study evaluated age-related changes in the skull morphology of Kuri cattle, an indigenous breed native to the Lake Chad Basin. A total of 30 skulls (15 males and 15 females) were collected from selected abattoirs in Nigeria and classified into three age groups: young (< 3 years), middle-aged (3–5 years), and aged (> 5 years). Following... Continue here

Ameliorative Effects Of Vitamin E And Selenium On Haematological And Serum Biochemical Parameters Of Growing Pigs Fed Graded Levels Of Crude Oil Contaminated Diets
This study was designed to evaluate the ameliorative effects of vitamin E alone and vitamin E plus selenium on haematological and serum biochemical parameters of growing pigs previously exposed to crude oil-contaminated diets. Thirty-six crossbred pigs (15.8±1.4 kg, 10–12 weeks) previously exposed to 0, 5, 10, or up till 15 g crude oil/kg feed for 4... Continue here

Ameliorative Effects Of Vitamin E And Selenium On Relative Organ Weights And Histopathology Of Growing Pigs Fed Graded Levels Of Crude Oil Contaminated Diets
Crude oil contamination of feed resources can induce organomegaly, organ atrophy, and histopathological lesions in livestock due to the bioaccumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in metabolically active organs. This study evaluated the ameliorative effects of vitamin E alone and in combination with selenium on relative organ weights and histopathology of... Continue here

Protein Quality Of Raw And Processed Sorrel (hibiscus Sabdariffa L.) Seed In Wistar Rats
The use of non-conventional feed resources either as replacement or as a supplement in the nutrition of livestock cannot be overemphasised. The shortage of feed resources for livestock and poultry feeding diverted the majority of research in the field of animal nutrition to look into possibilities to overcome this crisis; however, a possible and perhaps the most...

Evaluation Of Diets Containing Varying Levels Of Cassava Root – African Locust Bean Seed Meal Blend On Growth Response And Nutrient Digestibility Of Starter Broiler Chicks
The prevailing high cost of conventional feed ingredients, especially energy sources such as maize, necessitated the use of cheap, readily available and nutritionally comparable alternatives, which could be found in cassava root meal. Efficacy of varying levels of cassava root meal – African locust bean seed meal (CRM-ALBSM) blend on growth response and... Continue here

Growth Performance And Cost Benefit Analysis Of Broiler Chickens Administered With A Combination Of Three Leaf Meal Extracts (neem, Moringa And Lemongrass)
One major issue in broiler production is the rising cost of feed and poultry feed additives, which have over the years necessitated the need for alternative sources of materials that can conveniently replace costly feed ingredients and remove or reduce the negative impact of synthetic feed additives. Thus, the study focuses on the impact of broiler birds fed three... Continue here

Mapping The Variation And Correlation Of Body Dimensions Of Ettawa Grade Goats In Umejero Village, Buleleng Regency, Bali
Morphometric traits are widely used as practical indicators for evaluating growth performance and selecting superior animals in smallholder goat production systems. This study aimed to evaluate morphometric characteristics, analyse correlations among body measurement parameters, and map the diversity of Ettawa Grade (PE) goats as a basis for breeding selection....

Nutrient Digestibility And Haematological Profile Of Broiler Chickens Fed Graded Levels Of Raw Bambara Nut Sievate Supplemented With Biozyme®
One hundred and fifty unsexed day-old Ross 308 broiler chicks were randomly allotted to five dietary treatments in a completely randomised design (CRD), with five replicates per treatment.The starter diets contained 0, 12.5, 15.0, 17.5 and 20.0% raw BNS, whereas the corresponding finisher diets contained 0, 17.5, 20.0, 22.5 and 25.0% raw BNS.  In the last...
