Restricting Conventional Feed Intake For Pasture-raised Broilers In Papua New Guinea: Effect On Growth Parameters And Carcass Yield
Using agro-industrial by-products and root crops as feed sources in broiler nutrition is gaining momentum. Yet, it is uncertain whether farmers should utilize outdoor movable pens and pasture to raise broilers. In this study, growth responses of 96 Ross strain broilers reared on pasture versus conventional rearing system were evaluated. The former involved... Continue here
Effect Of Replacing Dietary Maize With Millet On Production Performance Of Laying Birds
The study was conducted to determine the effect of replacing dietary maize with millet on production performance of laying birds. The study was conducted between May and August 2018 at the Poultry Production Unit of Sokoto State Veterinary Center, Aliyu Jodi Road, Sokoto. Two hundred and forty black Bovan Nera layers of 23 weeks of age (averaging 1.3 kg live... Continue here
Antiviral Efficacies Of Neem (azadirachta Indica J.) And Scent (ocimum Sanctum L.) Leaf Meals Against Newcastle And Infectious Bursal Disease In Broiler Chickens
The effects of neem (Azadirachta indica) and scent (Ocimum santum) leaf meals fed singly or in combination on the growth response, haemato-biochemical parameters and their antiviral potencies in broiler chickens were investigated. Two hundred 1-day old Ross 308 unsexed broiler chicks were randomly allotted to 5 treatments, consisting of 5 replicates with 8 birds... Continue here
Effects Of Strain And Season On Incubation Parameters Of Nigerian Local Guinea Fowls
The study was conducted to determine the effects of strain and season on incubation parameters of Nigerian local guinea fowls. A total of three thousand six hundred (3600) fertile eggs (400 eggs per strain in each of the three seasons; early rainy, late rainy and early dry) generated from 144 matured guinea fowls (120 guinea hens and 24 guinea cocks) were used to...

Haematological And Serum Biochemical Indices Of Growing Female Pigs Fed Dietary Spondias Mombin Leaf Meal
Blood serves as physiological indicator of assessing quality of feed offered to an animal, their health status and body functionality. An experiment was carried out to evaluate the haematological and serum biochemical profiles of growing female pigs fed diets with varying levels of Spondias mombin leaf meal (SMLM). Sixteen growing female pigs weighing 10.5 to 14.0... Continue here
Prediction Of Body Weights From Linear Body Parameters Of Rabbit Genotypes In The Humid Tropics
This study aimed to determine the association between body weight and linear body parameters in rabbits. A total of 93 kittens generated from crosses of New Zealand White (NZW) x NZW, Chinchilla (CHA) x CHA, NZW x CHA, and CHA x NZW genotypes of rabbit in a nested classification of a Completely Randomized Design were used for this study. Data on body circumference... Continue here
Exploring The Impact Of Turkey Age On Gut Morphological Parameters And Nutrient Utilisation
This study was carried out to determine the influence of turkey age on gut morphology and nutrient utilisation. Data on the gut morphology and nutrient utilisation were collected at the different age intervals of turkeys' growth: the starter (day-old - 8 weeks), grower (9 - 16 weeks), and finisher (17 - 24 weeks) phases. Nicholas turkeys were fed commercial... Continue here
