Impact Of Cocoa (theobrome Cacao) Leaf Meal Fortified With Urea On Haematological And Serum Biochemical Status Of West African Dwarf (wad) Goats Raised Under Intensive System
Haematological and serum biochemistry reflect the physiological responsiveness of animals to their internal and external environments. Cocoa leaf meal (CLM) based diet fortified with 0.5% of urea was fed to twelve West African Dwarf (WAD) goats aged between 5 and 6 months with an average live weight of 5.00±0.9 kg for 70 days. The WAD goats were randomly... Continue here
Impact Of Organic Ration Formulation For Sustainable And Profitable Small Ruminants Production In Nigeria
The experiment was carried out at the Livestock Farm of Yobe State College of Agriculture, Science and Technology Gujba, Damaturu, Nigeria. Twelve (12) weeks feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the impacts of feeding formulated organic ration on the growth performance of Red Sokoto bucks. Four organic diets were formulated using clay (montmorillonite) at 0%,... Continue here
Dietary Vitamin C, Pig Performance And Pork Quality During Stress – A Review
Historically, vitamin C was discovered as a result of scurvy disease. Vitamin C deficiency or scurvy is a very old disease of civilization. In the past, it was a very difficult problem when humans were under conditions where they could not have access to either fresh fruit or vegetables and incidences of scurvy were very common. Later, it became obvious that... Continue here
Distribution And Concentration Of Heavy Metals In Tissues Of Cattle Slaughtered In Western Agricultural Zone Of Nasarawa State, Nigeria
Heavy metals may occur as inherent components of meat in which their accumulations may influence tissue quality. The present study was conducted to determine the presence and concentrations of heavy metals from liver (n=50), kidney (n=50), muscle (n=50), intestine (n=50) and skin (n=50) of cattle slaughtered in western agricultural zone of Nasarawa State,...

Effects Of Slurries On The Quality Of Kilishi
In a bid to evaluate the effects of slurries on the quality of Kilishi, fresh beef was procured, sliced and sun-dried. Thereafter, the groundnut, Bambara nut and soybean slurries were prepared with the addition of spices and seasonings. Afterwards, they were taken to the laboratory for proximate analysis. The dried beef samples were weighed and divided equally... Continue here
Semen Characteristics Of Rabbit Bucks Fed Cottonseed Cake Diets Supplemented With Sausage Fruits (kigelia Africana)
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of sausage fruits (Kigelia africana) on semen characteristics of rabbit bucks fed cottonseed cake (CSC) based diets. Sixty (60) rabbit bucks, 7-8 weeks old with an average weight of 868.52 g of heterogeneous population were randomly assigned to five dietary treatments with twelve animals per treatment in a...

Nutritional Value Of Soybean Milk Residue And Nutrient Intake In Red Sokoto Goats
This study is designed to evaluate the proximate composition, fibre fractions, mineral assay and phytochemical properties of soybean milk residue for livestock and was carried out in the Science Laboratory and the Teaching and Research Farm of Federal Polytechnic, Bali B ward, Bali Local Government Area (LGA) of Taraba state, Nigeria. Air-dried soybean milk... Continue here
African Palm Weevil For Sustainable Animal Production And Environmental Protection
African palm weevils (APW) pose a significant threat to palm agriculture, resulting in substantial economic losses, threatening farmers' livelihoods and impacting the productivity and profitability of the palm industry. To mitigate their economic impacts, there is a need to seek sustainable methods for their control. This study evaluated the effects of... Continue here
Evaluation Of Feed Resources In Dairy Development Programme Areas Of Oyo State, Nigeria
This research was conducted to compile a database of available feed resources for dairy cows in the Dairy Development Programme (DDP) areas of Oyo state in order to determine the forages that will be used for a future study. A total of 120 farmers, 20 from each of the 6 milk collection centres were interviewed separately using the Feed Assessment Tool and 3 were... Continue here
Comparative Study Of Phenotypic Traits And Growth Patterns In Two Ectotypes Of Giant African Land Snails (archachatina Marginata) In Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria
This study investigated phenotypic traits in 400 Archachatina marginata snails, comprising 200 black-skinned and 200 white-skinned ectotypes with 2, 3, 4, and 5 whorls. Black-skinned snails were sourced from the Mkpatak market, while white-skinned snails were collected from the surrounding bush in Essien Udim Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria....

A Survey On Strains And Performances Of Broiler Chickens Reared In Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria
A survey on the strains and performances of broiler chickens was carried out in Owerri West and Owerri North Local Government Areas of Imo State, Nigeria. The strains and their performances were determined in ten randomly selected poultry farms engaged consistently in large-scale broiler chicken production. Data were collected on the farmer’s personal... Continue here
Fermented Cassava Starch Residue And Its Utilization By Broilers
Due to an improvement in the nutritional composition of cassava starch residue (CSR) through solid-state fermentation by fungus Aspergillus niger. An experiment was, therefore, carried out to assess the effects of varying levels of fermented cassava starch residue (FCSR) in broiler diets. 210-day-old Hybro broiler chicks were fed six isocaloric and...
