Blends Of Lemon Grass (cymbopogon Citratus) And Bitter Leaf (vernonia Amygdalina) Improve The Growth Performance And Economics Of Production Of Broiler Chickens
An experiment was conducted to assess the proximate and phytochemical analyses of blend of lemon grass and bitter leaf compared to lemon grass and bitter leaf alone on growth performance and economics of production of production of broiler chickens. 200 g each of lemon grass and bitter leaf and 200g each of lemon grass and bitter leaf to make the blend (100g each)...

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
Ameliorative Effects Of Hog Plum And Vitamin E On Blood Quality Of Broiler Fed Aflatoxin B1
Aflatoxicosis is one of the serious health complications in poultry, posing potential hazards to human health. This study examined the effect of vitamin E and the extract of hog plum on the blood parameters of broiler chickens. Fresh hog plum leaves (Spondias mombin) were harvested from the Federal Polytechnic Ilaro community, ground into powder and soaked at a... Continue here
Prevalence Of Rabies In Apparently Healthy Slaughtered Dogs In Southern Gombe, Nigeria
Rabies is a fatal zoonotic disease with significant public health implications, particularly in rural areas of Nigeria. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of rabies in dogs slaughtered in Southern Gombe, Gombe State. A cross-sectional study was conducted, during which 120 brain samples from dogs were collected from slaughter slabs in Billiri, Kaltungo,... Continue here
Antitrypanosomal Effect Of Ethanolic Stem Extract Of Cassytha Filiformis On Trypanosoma Congolense Infection In Albino Mice
African trypanosomiasis is a parasitic infection caused by single-celled protozoan parasites of the genus Trypanosoma that is primarily transmitted by the bite of infected tsetse flies. This study aimed to investigate the antitrypanosomal effect of ethanolic stem extract of Cassytha filiformis on Trypanosoma congolense infection in albino mice. Crude extract of... Continue here
Effect Of Feeding Ration Using Protein And Calcium Microparticles Along With Inulin On Protein Digestibility, And Egg Protein Mass In Japanese Quail
The study aimed to assess the effect of feeding protein and calcium microparticles with the addition of Cichorium intybus root flour on protein digestibility and protein mass of quail eggs. 7-week-old female Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were employed, totaling 100 birds with an average body weight of 148.50 ± 3.34 g. Cichorium intybus root... Continue here
