The Anatomy Of The Placenta Of Sahelian Doe At Different Gestational Stages In Maiduguri, Nigeria
Morphological characteristics of black/white and brown/white Sahel does' placentas were analyzed. The uterus of twenty (20) pregnant black/white and brown/white Sahelian Does were collected as waste from the Maiduguri Municipal Abattoir. They were then placed in neutral buffered formalin containers containing 10%. Using the crown-rump length (CRL) method of... Continue here

Influence Of Phytogenic Aqueous Leaf Extract Of Justicia Carnea And Occimum Gratissimum On Sexing Accuracy, Haematology And Serum Biochemistry Of Broiler Chickens
Sending chicks late to the rearing house and time spent on sexing at farm gates increased their mortality rate and negatively affected their general performance. This study investigates the effectiveness of feather and vents sexing methods for determining the sex of day-old Arbor Acres broiler chicks and the effect of feeding Occimum gratissimum and Justicia...

Integrated Farming System For Sustainable Agricultural Production
Integration of animal production, aquaculture and crop integration is essential for maximizing water and land productivity. Thus, the increase in global water scarcity and the dual use of water for poultry, crop and fish production has the potential to optimize water use, dispose of aquaculture wastes, provide additional nutrients to crops, and reduce inorganic...

Phenotypic Variations In Local Chickens: Influence Of Strain And Sex On Morphometric Traits
This study evaluated the influence of strain and sex on the phenotypic traits of local chickens. A total of 150 chickens were used, comprising 50 chickens each from three strains (Frizzle, Naked Neck and Normal-feathered), with an equal distribution of 25 males and 25 females per strain. The phenotypic traits measured included body weight (BW), body length (BL),... Continue here

Genetic Diversity, Population Structure And Gene Flow Among Indigenous Nigerian Sheep Breeds
Genetic diversity, population structure and gene flow among indigenous Nigerian sheep breeds were investigated to enhance understanding of their genetic differentiation and adaptability. A total of 150 sheep, comprising Balami, Uda and Yankasa breeds (50 individuals per breed), were selected for phenotypic characterisation. Morphological traits such as head... Continue here

Ameliorative Effect Of Hog Plum And Vitamin A On Growth Performance Of Broiler Chicken Inoculated With Aflatoxin B1
A feeding trial of 56 days was carried out on broiler chickens to evaluate the growth-enhancing effects of one millilitre (ml) of ethanolic extract of hog plum (EHP) and vitamin A per litre of water when they are fed aflatoxin B1 (AF) per kilogram of feed. Two hundred and eighty day old arbor acre broiler chicks were purchased and allowed to acclimatise for 2... Continue here

Managing Heat Stress In Goats For Sustainable Climate-resilient Production
Heat stress has been identified as a significant factor affecting goat production, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions where elevated temperatures are prevalent. Numerous studies have documented the physiological and behavioural responses of goats to heat stress, such as reduced feed intake, lower growth rates, impaired reproductive performance and...

Egg Quality Traits Of Nigerian Unimproved (indigenous) And Improved (noiler) Chickens As Influenced By Storage Periods
Nigerian chickens have recently been classified as unimproved and improved due to indigenous selection or crossing them with exotics. This study was conducted at Bauchi State College of Agriculture, Bauchi, to evaluate the influence of storage periods and genotypes on egg quality traits of unimproved (Indigenous) and improved (Noiler) chickens. One hundred and... Continue here

Impact Of Crystalline Progesterone On Serum Biochemical Parameters In Lohmann Brown Layers
Despite the important role of progesterone in egg production, the information on its impact on serum biochemistry is still scanty. This study was therefore carried out to identify and assess the impact of various doses of crystalline progesterone (CP) on serum biochemical parameters in Lohmann Brown layers over six weeks. A completely randomized design was used,... Continue here
