Intensive broiler production and rapid growth impose substantial physiological stress on birds, which can predispose them to oxidative stress and immune dysfunction. Vaccine failure and concerns about antimicrobial resistance and residues have increased the need for safer alternative dietary approaches to enhance antioxidant defence and immune function in broiler...

Brining is an important meat-processing technique that can modify moisture distribution, technological properties, microbial stability and sensory quality. This study evaluated the effects of NaCl concentration and brining time on the physicochemical, microbiological and sensory properties of pork. Fresh pork was subjected to a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement... Continue here
Goat milk is an important source of animal protein and essential nutrients, particularly in tropical production systems. This study evaluated reproductive performance, milk production, milk composition, and udder characteristics of West African Dwarf (WAD) and Red Sokoto (RS) does assigned to four mating groups under a humid tropical production system. The... Continue here
