Comparative Quality Attributes And Sensory Acceptance Of Deep-fried And Oven-cooked Broiler Chicken Nuggets
The growing concern over consumption of fatty foods had increased the focus on formulating and developing nutritious and tasty low-fat meat products. However, the cooking methods employed during preparation of a food can change consumer’s perception about the product. Breast and thigh muscles were deboned, grounded, mixed with nugget ingredients to form an... Continue here

Semen And Haematological Characteristics Of Cocks Drenched Varying Levels Of Turmeric Powder (tp)
Emerging evidence from in vivo as well as in vitro studies indicates that botanicals play noteworthy roles in the treatment, prevention and management of livestock diseases. Use of natural compounds in botanicals has been proposed as potential alternative to conventional therapeutic options. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of varying levels of...

Ethnoveterinary Practice Of Poultry Birds In Ilara-mokin, Ondo-state Nigeria
Ethnoveterinary practices are important because they are easily available, inexpensive and effective, especially in rural areas where veterinary services are absent or irregular and expensive. The need to obtain information on ethnoveterinary practice in poultry in Ilara-mokin in Ondo State Nigeria formed the basis of the study. The study investigated the... Continue here

Effect Of Feeding Durian Fruit Peel In Kacang Goats On Production Performance And Physiological Parameters
The durian fruit (Durio zibethinus Murr.) peels can be used as animal feed. This study aimed to determine the effect of feeding durian fruit peel on body weight, feed conversion ratio and physiological parameters and reproduction performance of female kacang goats. The research method uses the 3 x 3 factorial randomized block design (RBD). The main components were... Continue here

Effect Of Soybean Meal Extract And Lactobacillus Plantarum On Fat Digestibility, Fatty Meat And Carcass Weight In Broiler
The study aimed to evaluate the addition of soybean meal extract and Lactobacillus plantarum on fat digestibility, relative weight of abdominal fat, meat fat mass and carcass weight of broiler chickens. The experimental animals used were 8-day-old unsexed Cobb strain broilers as many as 192 birds with a body weight of 177.89±3.73 g. Soybean meal extract... Continue here

Heamatological And Biochemical Indices Of Broiler Chickens Fed Graded Levels Of Boiled Sorrel (hibiscus Sabdariffa) Seed Meal As A Replacement For Soybean
Escalating feed costs have significantly impacted the poultry industry in developing countries like Nigeria, constituting a substantial portion of total expenses. This has motivated the exploration of unconventional and cost-effective feed ingredients like sorrel (Hibiscus sabdariffa) seed meal. This study was conducted to assess the heamatological and biochemical... Continue here

Haematology, Blood Viscosity And Osmotic Fragility Of Finisher Broiler Chickens Fed Dietary Supplementation Of Acetylsalicylic Acid During Hot Dry Season
The effect of acetylsalicylic acid on the haematological status, blood viscosity and osmotic fragility of broiler chickens were evaluated during transition from dry to rainy season (January – March). One hundred and ninety two (192) day old broiler chicks (ANAK) were randomly divided into four dietary treatments, each treatment comprising 48 birds, which was... Continue here

Quantitative Feed Restriction Effects On Morphometric Traits And Body Weight Of White Cockerels
The study was carried out to determine the effect of a skip-a-day type of feed restriction on growth performance, of white cockerels. A total of eighty-four day-old chicks of white cockerels were used. There were four treatment groups replicated thrice: Treatment 1:  Control treatment (Fed full for the entire period of the study); Treatment 2: ... Continue here

Economic Analysis Of Broiler Chicken Diet Containing Graded Levels Of Sun-dried Cassava (manihot Esculenta Cartz) Root Meal
An experiment was conducted at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Research Farm, Bauchi, to determine the replacement value of sun-dried cassava (Manihot esculenta cart) root meal (SDCRM) for maize in broiler diets. Five diets were formulated in which SDCRM was incorporated in the diet to replace maize at 0%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% levels designated as diet 1,... Continue here

Serological Survey And Risk Factors For Coxiella Burnetii Infection Among Nomadic Cattle In Lanlate, Southwestern Nigeria
Q-fever, an important tick-borne zoonosis caused by Coxiella burnetii that affects a broad range of animal hosts, including humans. There is limited data on its prevalence in Nigeria particularly among ruminants in southwestern Nigeria. This study therefore evaluated the seroprevalence of C. burnetii antibodies and associated factors among nomadic cattle herds. A... Continue here

Yield And Quality Of Fodder Maize Intercropped With Lablab And Cowpea For Ruminant Feeding In The Humid Zone Of Nigeria
Inadequate feed resources, resulting from pressure on natural grazing systems due to land shortages and insecurity, have threatened food security in Sub-Saharan Africa. To ameliorate this challenge, the study was undertaken to determine the effect of manure on yield and quality of fodder maize intercropped with lablab and cowpea. Land was divided into 40 sub plots... Continue here

Breed Differences In Tonic Immobility And Emergence Of Commonly Raised Broiler Chicken
The impact of breed on various behavioural traits has been documented across numerous avian species; however, there exists a scarcity of studies focusing on commonly raised broiler chickens. Fear, characterised as a detrimental affective state, serves as an indicator of distress and is correlated with adverse implications for the welfare and productivity of... Continue here

Oxidative Stress Indicators In West African Dwarf Goats Does (young Females) During Gestation
The study investigated the serum biochemistry and oxidative stress markers in West African Dwarf (WAD) goats does (young females) as gestation progresses. The study took place at the Small Ruminant Farm of Teaching and Research Farm, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria.  Forty-two (42) gravid does aged 12-24 months with an average weight of...
