Then, in to improve the herbivores nutrition, the evaluation of intake and In vivo digestibility of Pennisetum purpureum or Panicum maximum in guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) was carried out in January 2017 at the University of Dschang research and experimental farm and animal production and nutrition laboratory. 20 adult animals of local breed on average weight 450 ± 50g and aged about 5 months were used. They were organized into two batches of 10 animals each (5 males and 5 females). The first batch received 250g of fresh matter of Pennisetum purpureum + 60g concentrate/animal/day, while the second received the same treatment with Panicum maximum as grasses. Leftover and animals were weighed every morning before food distributions, and drinking water containing vitamin C was served ad libitum. According to the results, the highest ingestion was obtained with Panicum maximum. However, the digestibility different nutrients was comparable between treatments; nevertheless, males fed on P. maximum digested crude cellulose (63.78%) better than males fed on P. purpureum (51.17%). With regard to the variation of the bacterial rate of the caecal flora, enterobacteria of animals fed P. maximum was high (11.20 CFU/ml) compared to those of the animals receiving P. purpureum (7.27 CFU/ml), although regardless of the treatment, the level of lactobacilli was higher than that of enterobacteria. In view of the results obtained, these grasses can be alternatively used in feeding guinea pigs.","PeriodicalId":12046,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Zoological Research","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87567078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Zoology experiments are an indispensable part of zoology teaching, and it is an organic whole that complements classroom teaching. The good zoology experiment course is a necessary prerequisite for learning zoology, and the examination of the zoology experiment course is an effective means to test the teaching effect of the zoology experiment course. In the past, most of the examinations for the Zoology Experimental Course were carried out together with the final examination of the final theoretical course after the completion of all the experimental courses. There are obvious drawbacks to this kind of papertalk test method. First of all, it can t comprehensively and realistically assessstudents experimental skills and level; on the other hand, it makes students not pay attention to the experimental course, because it can pass the test only by memorizing the results of the experiment. The irrationality of this traditional examination method has greatly affected the teaching effect of zoology and limited the teaching reform and development of zoology.","PeriodicalId":12046,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Zoological Research","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78928223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is no direct link between the increase in CO2 and natural disasters. And it’s very content in the atmosphere is not only dependent on the combustion of fuel, but also on the state of the surface layer of the planet and the hydrological cycle.
