Blood Indices Of Weaner Pigs Reared On Different Bedding Materials
Attempts made to improve pig production have focused more on feed with little or no consideration of the impact of bedding materials, which is a major concern in pig production, not only because it affects pig health and productivity, but also because it may act as a potential reservoir and transmission vehicle for pathogens and potential pathogens. Since blood is... Continue here
Lipoprotein Lipase Gene Expression Profile Of Broiler Chicken Breeds Administered Varying Levels Of Ginger Extract In Drinking Water
This study investigated the Lipoprotein Lipase gene expression profile of broiler chicken breeds administered varying levels of ginger extracts in drinking water. A total of 270 day-old unsexed broiler chicks comprising Arbor acre Plus, Cobb 500 and Ross 308 breeds were randomly allotted into three treatments of 90 birds each, with each of the treatments...

Risk Factors And Economic Impact Of Contagious Ecthyma (orf) In Small Ruminants Of Yobe And Borno States, Nigeria
Contagious ecthyma (Orf) is a significant viral disease of small ruminants with substantial economic and animal welfare implications. This study assessed the risk factors, haematological parameters, and economic impact of Orf in sheep and goats in Yobe and Borno States, Nigeria. We employed a mixed-methods approach, combining a cross-sectional survey of 121... Continue here
Seroprevalence And Risk Factors Associated With Peste Des Petits Ruminants In Goats From Sokoto, Northwestern Nigeria
Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) is a highly contagious viral disease affecting small ruminants, with significant socio-economic impacts in Nigeria and other endemic regions. The study was carried out to determine the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with PPR in Sokoto, Nigeria. A total of 304 goat serum samples were collected from herds and the Sokoto...

The Relationship Of The Ruminant Microbiome To Animal Health And Disease: A Review
Animal scientists, veterinarians, and food-animal producers relate the health and well-being of animals to their internal and external environmental surroundings, as a result of either stressors or stimulants that can impact the production and efficiency of those animals. As more research has been conducted to understand how to mitigate stressors or promote... Continue here
Effect Of Raw And Heat-treated Rock Phosphate As Replacements For Bone Meal On Growth Performance, Carcass Traits And Bone Characteristics Of Weanling Rabbits
Calcium and phosphorus play fundamental roles in regulating metabolic activities and skeletal development in livestock. Rock Phosphate (RP), a naturally occurring calcium-phosphorus rich resource containing high fluoride content, holds promise as an alternative to bone meal. Fifty-four crossbred weanling rabbits, aged seven weeks old with an average initial... Continue here
Nutrient Bioavailability And Growth Performance Of Wistar Rats Fed With Graded Levels Of Termitomyces Robustus Substituted Diets
This study evaluated the nutrient bioavailability of Termitomyces robustus (TR) mushrooms and its potential to support growth in weanling Wistar rats. This is to promote the consumption of indigenous, nutrient-dense foods as viable high quality protein alternative for the vulnerable population. Fresh TR samples were sorted, oven-dried at 60 °C, and stored for... Continue here
Leptin: The Key Lean Peptide – A Review
Feeding ensures the provision of substrates for energy metabolism, a vital process for the survival of every living organism and therefore is subject to intense regulation by brain homeostatic and hedonic systems. At present, our understanding of the circuits and molecules regulating the process has tremendously increased in large part due to the availability of... Continue here
