Assessment Of Phenotypic Correlations And Prediction Of Body Weights Of New Zealand White And Californian White Rabbits Using Linear And Quadratic Models
A total of 104 rabbits generated from 24 sexually mature, 5 months purebred of the mating from New Zealand White (NZW) and Californian White (CAL), 12 per breed, which comprised 3 bucks and 9 does mated in a ratio 1:3, replicated thrice, were used in the study. Phenotypic traits measured were body weight (BWT), ear length (ELT), nose length (NTS), heart girth... Continue here
Effects Of Dietary Turmeric Rhizome Powder Supplementation On Egg Quality And Production Of Laying Hens
The six-week study, carried out at Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo, investigated the impact of dietary turmeric (Curcuma longa) rhizome powder on the performance and egg quality characteristics of laying hens. Forty-eight, 16-week-old Isa Brown hens were assigned to three treatments: a control group (T1) with 0 g/kg turmeric rhizome powder (TRP), T2 with 5 g/kg TRP,... Continue here
Evaluation Of Some Selected Nutraceuticals (king-herbs Oral Solution® Gumbo Nd® And Grand Humi Vet®) With Gumboro Vaccine For Preventing Experimental Gumboro Disease In Broilers
Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is a highly contagious and immunosuppressive viral disease of chickens that causes significant economic losses in poultry production. This study assessed the prophylactic efficacy of three nutraceuticals—King-Herbs Oral Solution®, Gumbo ND®, and Grand HumiVet®—administered alone or in combination with an... Continue here
The Role And Restraints Of Animal Health Service Providers In Foot-and-mouth Disease Vaccination In Nigeria
The persistence of transboundary animal diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) continues to undermine animal health and production, posing significant challenges for farmers, policymakers, and the livestock sector in Nigeria. Although vaccination is a proven tool for FMD control, vaccine adoption in Nigeria remains suboptimal. A major factor is the limited... Continue here
Prevalence Of Canine Parvovirus: A Case Study Of Central Veterinary Clinic, Abuko, The Gambia (2020-2023)
Information about Canine parvovirus (CPV) in dogs is limited in the Gambia; therefore, this retrospective study assessed the prevalence of CPV disease among dogs from Kanifing Municipal Council (KMC) and West Coast Region (WCR) brought to Central Veterinary Clinic, Abuko, The Gambia. The animals were clinically diagnosed to observe signs of CPV disease. Data from... Continue here
Kinematic Responses Of Cold-preserved Rote Ram Sperm To Supplementation With Bovine Serum Albumin And Moringa Leaf Extract
The decrease in the sperm kinematic quality during cold storage is still a significant limitation in the artificial insemination programs, especially on local breeds like the Rote sheep. This experiment was an attempt to determine the impacts of adding Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA), a protein derived from bovine blood plasma that functions as an antioxidant and... Continue here
Testicular Morphometry Of The Uda Rams (ovis Aries) During The Dry Season In North-west Nigeria
The Uda ram (Ovis aries) is the predominant species in the Northwest of Nigeria, and the morphology of the testes is an important marker for the reproductive capability of rams. Rams play a pivotal role as a source of livelihood and food, providing milk and meat. This study was conducted to determine the morphometry of the testis for this species during the dry...

Using Functional Forms Data Analysis To Assess Egg Quality Characteristics Of The West African Black Mud Tortoise (pelusios Castaneus)
This study was conducted to evaluate egg external and internal quality traits of the West African Black Mud Tortoise. A total of Eighty (80) eggs were collected from (Pelusios castaneus). Four model specifications (linear, double-log, semi-log and exponential functions) were evaluated to determine the best-fitting regression of egg weight on various egg traits.... Continue here
A Novel Approach To Non-lethal Milt Collection In Clarias Gariepinus To Improve Broodstock Management
This study evaluated the feasibility of orchiotomy as an alternative to partial orchiectomy for milt collection in Clarias gariepinus (African catfish) to maintain fertilisation potential. In the partial orchiectomy group, 12 male fish underwent initial surgery where one-third of the testis was removed to extract milt, which was collected in a sterile bottle.... Continue here
Evaluation Of Reproductive Performance In Dutch And New Zealand White Rabbits And Their Crosses
The study evaluated the reproductive performance of Dutch and New Zealand White rabbits and their crosses under tropical management conditions. Sixty kits representing four genetic groups were produced from a foundation stock of 10 does and 8 bucks. The genetic groups included purebred New Zealand White (NZW×NZW), purebred Dutch (DU×DU), and two... Continue here
Comparative Effects Of Vitamin E And Garlic Oil Supplementation On Oxidative Stress, Hepatic And Renal In Weaner Rabbits
This study evaluated the comparative effects of vitamin E and garlic oil supplementation on oxidative stress markers, hepatic, and renal functions in weaner rabbits. Twenty-four male rabbits (5 weeks old) were used. Prior to the experiment, the housing was disinfected with hypochlorite solution and left to dry for a week before introducing the rabbits into the...
