Comparative Performance, Carcass Traits, Offals And Internal Organs Of Broiler Chickens Fed Dietary Replacement Levels Of Maize With Yam Peel Meal, Toasted Bambara Nut Sievate And Their Composite
The study investigated the utilisation of yam peel meal (YPM), toasted bambara nut sievate (TBNS) and toasted bambara nut sievate–yam peel meal composite (TBNS-YPMC) as a dietary replacement for maize in broiler chicken diets. A total of 200 unsexed day-old broiler chicks were purchased and allowed a week of acclimatisation. Thereafter, 165 seven-day-old... Continue here
Potential Of Varying Levels Of Flashed-dried Cassava Pulp With Multi-enzyme Supplementation On Broiler Finishers Chickens
An experiment was carried out to evaluate performance quality, cost implication, haematological indices, serum biochemistry, carcass, internal organ weights and liver histology of broiler finisher chickens fed varying levels of flashed-dried cassava pulp (FDCP) with multi-enzyme supplementation. Ninety-six (96) four-week-old Marshal ® broiler finishers were... Continue here
Sustainable Empowerment Of Rural Women In Nigeria: Transforming Waste Into Wealth By Nourishing Goats With Corn Cobs And Cassava Peels At Different Tiers
The study aimed at exploring Waste-to-Wealth Feeding by investigating the viability of using corn cobs and cassava peels as goat feed. The growth performance and sensory evaluation of chevon fed different levels of corn cobs and cassava peels as goat feed were investigated. A total of sixteen (16) growing bucks were purchased from different sources and were... Continue here
Phytogenic Potentials Of Mimosa Pudica Leaf Extracts On Blood Profiles, Rectal Temperature And Footpad Of Broiler Chicken
A study was conducted to determine the effects of Mimosa pudica leaf extracts (MPLE) on blood profiles, rectal temperature and footpad of broiler chicken. 300 day-old marshal broiler chicks were purchased from the hatchery. Chicks were allotted randomly into 5 feeding treatments of 60 birds each in a completely randomized design and subdivided into 6 replicates of... Continue here
Burden And Spatio-temporal Distribution Of Selected Tick-borne Diseases In The East African Community From 2000 To 2024: A Systematic Review And Meta-analysis
Ticks and tick-borne diseases are a major challenge to livestock in the East African region. Several independent studies have been published from different countries; however, there are no meta-analysis studies conducted on their spatio-temporal distribution. Therefore, this study aimed to synchronise the reported burden and distribution to augment the existing... Continue here
Rotavirus In Pigs: Review On Structure, Epidemiology, Risk Factors And Zoonotic Potential
Pig production is an important livestock subsector contributing immensely to food security and household income generation, especially in developing countries. Rotavirus infections, which are the leading cause of dehydrating diarrhoea in piglets, hinder their productivity. To date, there are ten Rotavirus groups (A-J) detected and distributed in both humans and... Continue here
Association Between Egg Weight And Internal Quality Parameters In Two Commercial Layer Strains
Egg quality is crucial in poultry production, as it significantly impacts market value, hatchability, and profitability. Internal quality traits, such as albumen weight, yolk height, and Haugh unit, are commonly evaluated alongside egg weight. This study aimed to assess the relationship between egg weight and internal egg quality parameters in Harco Black and Isa... Continue here
Growth Performance Of Two Chicken Breeds Fed Guava (psidium Guajava) Leaf Meal As A Natural Alternative To Antibiotic Growth Promoter
The potential of phytogenic compounds such as guava (Psidium guajava) leaf meal can be harnessed as a non-antibiotic alternative in promoting growth performance in chicken. Therefore, this study was undertaken to assess the growth performance characteristics of two chicken breeds fed guava leaf meal (GLM) as a natural alternative to antibiotic growth promoters....

Cryoprotective Potential Of Honey In Caprine Semen Extension
The study was carried out to determine the effect of honey as a cryoprotectant agent in caprine semen cryopreservation to improve the viability of frozen-thawed caprine semen. The semen used was collected from two healthy and proven mature bucks weighing 30 to 35 kg using an electro-ejaculator. The semen after collection was divided into five groups to form five...

Ethanol Extract Of Ficus Exasperata Leaf And Gallic Acid Ameliorate Cisplatin-induced Toxicity In Wistar Rats
Cisplatin (CP), a widely used platinum-based chemotherapeutic, is effective in cancer treatment but it is associated with significant multiple organ toxicity, particularly the liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, and cardiovascular system. Oxidative stress is a major contributor to this toxicity. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of Ficus... Continue here
Acute And Sub-chronic Toxicity Assessment Of Methanol Leaf Extract Of Persea Americana (avocado) In Wistar Rats
Persea americana (Avocado) leaves are widely used in traditional medicine, yet scientific data on their toxicological safety remains limited. This study evaluated the acute and sub-chronic toxicity profiles of the methanolic leaf extract of P. americana in Wistar rats. Acute toxicity was assessed using 28 rats (7 groups; n = 4 per group) administered single oral... Continue here
