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... Continue here
Pathogenesis Of Anaemia And Its Relationship With Hepato-splenomegaly In African Animal Trypanosomosis: A Review
Anaemia is a consistent finding in acute and chronic trypanosomosis and a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in African animal trypanosomosis (AAT). The pathogenesis of anaemia in AAT is both complex, multifaceted and not completely delineated. Some possible patho-mechanisms are popular, including an increase in erythrocyte fragility occasioned by... Continue here
Evaluation Of Gliricidia Sepium Leaf Meal On Digestibility And Nitrogen Retention In Yankasa Rams Fed Digitaria Smutsii Hay Basal Diet
The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Gliricidia sepium leaf meal (GSLM) supplementation on digestibility and Nitrogen retention in Yankasa rams fed graded levels of Gliricidia sepium leaf meal. The study involved twelve (12) growing Yankasa rams, weighing 14.69+2kg averagely. The experimental Yankasa rams were assigned randomly to four dietary... Continue here
Review Of South Sudan’s Poultry Subsector Performance: Constraints And Untapped Opportunities
South Sudan’s poultry subsector is a critical yet underdeveloped pillar for improving food security, rural livelihoods, and economic growth, with an estimated annual production of 6.05 million birds. While the sector is currently dominated by indigenous breeds (Beledi) kept in low-input, free-range systems, it has recently gained momentum as a priority... Continue here
