Effect Of Allium Sativum Extract On Growth Performance, Nutrient Intake, Digestibility, And Nitrogen Utilization Of West African Dwarf Goats Artificially Infected With Haemonchus Contortus
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Allium sativum on the performance of West African Dwarf (WAD) goats artificially infected with Barber’s pole worm (Haemonchus contortus). Twenty-five WAD goats were randomly assigned to five treatment groups in a Completely Randomised Design in a 56-day performance trial, after which the animals were... Continue here
Embryonic And Early Post-hatch Developmental Morphology Of The Thymus In Nigerian Indigenous Chickens (gallus Gallus Domesticus)
The avian thymus is a primary lymphoid organ that produces T-lymphocytes that engage in active cell-mediated immune responses. The pre- and early post-hatch development of this organ in Nigerian indigenous chickens of the south-eastern region was understudied from embryonic incubation day (EID) 10 to day (D) 42 post-hatch to determine the pattern of growth and the...

Evaluating The Role Of Herbal Additives In Sustainable Broiler Farming: The Case Of Turmeric And Ginger At 0.25% Inclusion Levels
This study evaluates the role of herbal additives, specifically turmeric and ginger, in enhancing the sustainability of poultry farming by assessing their effects on broiler chickens' growth performance, economic parameters, nutrient digestibility, and blood profiles. A total of 120-day-old broiler chicks were randomly assigned to four treatment groups:... Continue here
Peripheral Nerves Of The Brachial Plexus With Their Distribution To The Muscles Of The Pectoral Limb In The Captive African Striped Ground Squirrel (xerus Erythropus)
This research provides a detailed description of the gross morphology of the brachial plexus with its peripheral nerve distribution to the muscles of the pectoral limb in the African Striped Ground Squirrel (ASGS). Six (6) adult ASGSs of both sexes were used for this study. The squirrels were euthanised using ketamine hydrochloride at a dose of 60 - 80 mg/kg... Continue here
Meat Quality Traits And Sensory Evaluation Of Muscovy And Aylesbury Ducks Reared In The Humid Tropics
This study aimed to determine the effects of sex and strain on the meat yield and sensory qualities of Muscovy and Aylesbury ducks reared in the humid tropics. Sex, strain and the interaction of sex and strain have been reported by various researchers to significantly affect the growth and carcass analysis of Poultry birds in Nigeria. There is limited evaluation... Continue here
Gross And Histological Study Of Developing Spleen In Pre- And Post-hatch Nigerian Native Chicken (gallus Gallus Domesticus)
The avian spleen is a primary peripheral lymphoid organ located in the region dorsal to the gonad, ventral to the liver and lateral to the stomach, just opposite the dorsal surface of the right hepatic lobe. It plays both lymphopoietic and hematopoietic roles, depending on the respective amounts of white pulp and red pulp elements in the parenchyma. The pre- and... Continue here
Effect Of Interaction Of Haemoglobin Genotype With Locations On Morphometric Traits Of West African Dwarf Goats Raised In Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria
Haemoglobin type, a useful marker for genomic selection, has influenced the adaptability of animals to a particular environment. The effect of the interaction of haemoglobin types with various locations on morphometric traits of West African Dwarf goats in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, was studied. Three hundred and eighty-four goats of both sexes were sampled from... Continue here
The Characteristics Of Small-scale Pig Production At Peri-urban And Rural Locations In Imo State, Southeast Nigeria
This study aimed to examine the socio-cultural characteristics of farmers, farming structure, reproductive and health practices in small-scale pig farms at peri-urban and rural areas in Imo State, southeast Nigeria. Primary data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 25 pig farmers at the peri-urban farms and rural farms of Imo State. The results of... Continue here
Nutrient Utilisation And Growth Response Of Balami Rams Fed Hydroponic Sorghum Fodder Varieties With Supplement
A study was conducted to evaluate the growth performance, nutrient intake, nutrient digestibility and nitrogen balance in twenty (20) growing Balami rams fed four varieties of hydroponic sorghum fodder (HSF) with a supplemented concentrate diet. The HSF varieties were Red Chakalari (V1), White Chakalari (V2), Kaura (V3) and Jigari (V4). Results revealed... Continue here
Isolation, Identification And Antibiotic Sensitivity Profiling Of Escherichia Coli And Salmonella Spp. From Duck: An Issue Of Public Health
Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. are involved in a variety of pathogenic processes in domestic animals and humans. The study aimed to isolate and identify Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Salmonella spp. bacteria, and ascertain the specific antibiotic resistance percentages. A total of 40 samples of duck liver and intestinal contents were collected and selected... Continue here
