Rumen Ecology Of Red Sokoto Goats Fed Diets Containing Varying Levels Of Soybean Milk Residue As A Replacement For Soybean Meal
In this study, 25 weaned bucks weighing 8.40kg were used to evaluate rumen kinetics (rumen pH, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, NH3-N production and volatile fatty acids production) of Red Sokoto bucks at 30, 60 and 90 days of feeding diets containing varying levels of soybean milk residue as a replacement for soybean meal. The diets were designated T1, T2, T3, T4,... Continue here
Effect Of Avocado (persea Americana) Leaf Powder Supplementation On Oxidative Status, Dna Biomarkers, Carcass, And Internal Organ Parameters In Broiler Chickens
The study aimed to evaluate the effects of avocado (Persea americana) leaf powder supplementation on oxidative status, DNA biomarkers, and carcass and internal organ parameters in broiler chickens. Various levels of avocado leaf powder 0% (control, T1), 0.25% (T2), 0.5% (T3), and 0.75% (T4)) were administered to the chickens during the broiler finisher phase... Continue here
Effect Of Freezing Methods On Semen Quality: A Study On Funaab Alpha (normal Feather), Arbor Acre And Dominant Black Chickens
Sperm cryopreservation is a useful technique in reproduction with variations in sperm quality among different breeds. This study assessed the spermatozoa cryotolerance among different breeds of chickens using slow and rapid freezing procedures. Ten (10) breeder birds from each breed were selected for this experiment at 30 weeks of age with an average body weight... Continue here
Rflp-pcr Polymorphism Of Beta-casein And K-casein Gene In White Fulani, Sokoto Gudali And Red Bororo Indigenous Cattle In Nigeria
One key genetic determinant of milk quality and yield is the casein protein, specifically β-casein and κ-casein, which is associated with important traits such as milk production, protein content, and digestibility. This study investigates the genetic polymorphisms of β-casein and κ-casein genes in three indigenous Nigerian cattle breeds:... Continue here
Small Colony Variants Of Staphylococcus Aureus Causing Chronic Respiratory Infections In A Dog
Staphylococcus aureus produces a colonial variant called small colony variant (SCV), responsible for chronic infections in immunocompromised animals and humans. This variant contributes to recurrent infections via increased biofilm formation, altered antimicrobial susceptibility and intracellular persistence to evade host defence mechanisms. These infections are... Continue here
A Morphological Study On The Testis In Camels (camelus Dromedarius) In North-western Nigeria
Dromedary camels can be easily recognized by their humps. They are renowned for their capacity to endure long periods without water. It is an animal species that has been scantily evaluated. The study assessed the morphometry of the camel testis in the North-Western region of Nigeria. The dataset consisted of twenty (20) testes from camel bulls ages 7 and 12... Continue here
Growth Rate And Body Size Mapping Of Male Bali Cattle During Fattening Phase
The objective of this research was to evaluate the growth dynamics in body size of high-potential male Bali cattle during the fattening period. Growth differences in body size can be attributed to the composition of body parts, with those predominantly composed of bone maturing earlier than those consisting mainly of muscle or fat. Throughout the fattening... Continue here
Evaluation Of The Shelf Life And Quality Of Kilishi Prepared With Different Slurries
The shelf life and quality of kilishi prepared with different slurries were evaluated. Fresh beef was purchased from the market, sliced into thin sheets and sun-dried. Thereafter, the groundnut, bambaranut and soybean slurries were prepared with the addition of spices and seasonings. Afterwards, the dried beef samples were weighed and divided equally into three...

First Report Of Canine Distemper Viral Antigen And Its Associated Risk Factors In Wild Animals In Jos, Northern Nigeria: A Survey
Canine distemper virus (CDV) causes a contagious incurable often fatal, multi – systemic disease that affect the respiratory, gastro – intestinal and central nervous systems. Therefore, there is need to investigate some wild animals to ascertain their role as reservoir host which may contribute to the persistent occurrence of this disease in the... Continue here
Blood Profile Variations In Ross 308 Broiler Chickens Fed Dietary Cocoa (theobroma Cacao) Bean Shell Fermented With Bovine Rumen Filtrate
The nutritional impact of fermented cocoa bean shell (bovine rumen filtrate) on the blood biochemistry of Ross 308 broiler chickens was assessed over a 56-day trial. Rumen filtrate, obtained at a ratio of 5:5, was combined with fresh cocoa bean shells, fermented, and allowed to air dry. Five different experimental diets were used with varying inclusion levels of... Continue here
Systematic Review And Meta-analysis On The Use Of Eubiotics And Response Of Piglets
This systematic review and meta-analysis scrutinize the use of eubiotics and the response of piglets, aiming to elucidate their impact on growth and health parameters in swine production. A comprehensive literature search identified studies meeting predefined criteria, encompassing various eubiotics interventions such as probiotics and prebiotics. The... Continue here
The Influence Of Strain On The Chick Quality And Transfer Efficiency Of Maternal Antibody In Broiler Chickens At Three Days Of Age
The selection of broiler strains with optimal growth performance and health parameters is critical for efficient poultry production. This study investigated the influence of strain on chick quality and maternally derived antibodies (MDAs) in different strains of broiler chickens at 3 days of age. The research was conducted at the Poultry Unit of the Teaching and... Continue here
