The study assessed the productivity of maize farmers in Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State, Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling procedure was employed to select 216 maize farmers. Data were generated using a structured questionnaire, while analysis of farmers’ productivity was based on production in 2021. Analyses were carried out using... Continue here
The haematological responses of broiler chickens to dietary ginger and vitamin C were investigated. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary ginger in combination with graded levels of vitamin C on the haematological parameters of grower-finisher broiler chickens. One hundred and fifty (150) unsexed Agrited day-old chicks were used in the... Continue here
The antioxidant and pro-oxidant responses of broiler chickens to dietary ginger and vitamin C were investigated. Antioxidants studied included glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD), while malondialdehyde (MDA) served as the pro-oxidant indicator. One hundred and fifty (150) unsexed Agrited day-old chicks... Continue here
This study aimed to provide an analytic measures and measured experimentation on the cultivation of Egusi melon in Jigawa State, Nigeria. Introducing the cultivation of this valuable crop to this area will rapidly place the populace into financial freedom to be less dependent on the government. A field experiment was conducted on a field (1335 m2), divided into... Continue here
The nutritive qualities of five selected forages, Mangifera indica, Anacardium occidental, Gmelina aborea, Gliricidia sepium and Panicum maximum were investigated. Chemical composition of the forages was determined, and the in vitro digestibility study was carried out for 24 hours. Results obtained from chemical composition showed that Mangifera indica had the... Continue here
Traditional agriculture often relies on chemical treatments that carry significant environmental risks. To address the need for sustainable and non-invasive productivity enhancers, researchers are exploring the impact of non-physical Biofield Energy Treatments. These treatments were hypothesised to influence the molecular and cellular transitions in living... Continue here
