Both field screening techniques and cut-twig method were applied to control the disease. Spore suspensions of BGM were applied at flower initiation stage in the field trial. In the field screening, out of 29 chickpea lines, the entries 14, 4, 9 and 2 showed 4, 5, 6 and 7 disease scoring scale, respectively. In case of cut-twig method out of 29 chickpea lines, the entries 4, 5, 10, 6 showed 4 5, 6, and 7 scoring scales, respectively. For both field screening and cut-twig method a total of four lines viz., ICCL 87322, ICC 4971, ICC 4936 and ICC 1680 entries showed resistant reaction to BGM. The highest yield under field screening technique was obtained from the line ICC 14559 (2403 kg/ha) followed by ICCX 860029-BH-1PNBPN-B (2161 kg/ha) and both are showed 4 grading scale. Although, field screening of chickpea genotypes is the widely practiced method, but screening in growth rooms and screen houses require temperature and humidity control facilities, that are not always available for researches in developing countries. Moreover, cut twig method is a quick and comprehensive screening technique and applicable to all areas in the world for controlling chickpea BGM. Keyword: Screening, BGM.

Therefore, this study aimed to use the aqueous mint leaf extract (AMLE) in white soft cheese processing and to evaluate the total phenolic content, microbial content and sensory attributes of the resulting cheese. Dried mint leafs were extracted with water to obtain an aqueous extract. Prior to white cheese processing, different concentrations (1, 2 and 3%, v/v) of AMLE were added to the milk. White soft cheese containing AMLE had significantly higher phenolic compounds than the control cheese and the highest phenolic content (96.0 mg GAE / 100 g cheese) was found in white soft cheese samples containing 3% of AMLE. The results of microbial analysis showed that the microbial growth in white soft cheese tends to decrease with increasing AMLE concentration and no microbial growth was observed in white soft cheese containing 3% of AMLE. The sensory evaluation revealed that the addition of AMLE had no significant effect on the overall acceptance of all types of cheese manufactured.","PeriodicalId":14496,"journal":{"name":"IOSR Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Science","volume":"128 1","pages":"36-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76466696","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}

Eighty (80) reproductively matured snails with five snails replicated four times in a completely randomized design were used. Liveweight and mortality were monitored during aestivation. Eggs collected were incubated. While the continuous watered group (0A) gained 11.95 g, the groups aestivated for 6 weeks (6A), 12 weeks (12A) and by nature (N) respectively recorded -40.05, -88.28 and -51.29 g. Mortality records showed 1, 1, 2 and 0. Apart from clutch size and number of snailet hatched, the investigated reproductive indices reflected significant (P<0.05) differences. The average clutch number was highest in 0A (5.65) followed by 12A (4.25), 6A (2.80) and N (2.67). Clutch weight was highest in N (25.17 g) which differ statistically from 0A (21.54). This was however not significantly different from 6A (22.88g) and 12A (24.32g). These respectively gave an average egg weight of 2.92, 2.91, 3.16 and 3.21 g for 0A, 6A, 12A and N. Hatchability was significantly highest in 6A (95.92%) which was not significantly different from 12A (93.69 %) and N (89.48 %). The later however, did not differ statistically from 0A. 0A nevertheless gave the highest snailet weight (2.63 g) and the least was recorded from 6A (1.53 g).

In CDZ, paddy, ragi, maize and groundnut are the major crops. To analyse cost and returns, the techniques such as tabular method with percentage, numbers and market approach were used. Random sampling technique was employed in the selection of 90 farmers for the study, which comprises of 45 irrigated farmers and 45 rainfed farmers. The secondary data regarding area, production and productivity data of the madhugiri taluk of Tumakuru district were collected from the district website for the year 2013–14 for sample selection based on area dominance. The study showed that cost and net returns for borewell irrigated paddy were Rs. 56225 ha -1 and Rs. 34091 ha -1 , respectively. Among these crops, cost of cultivation was higher in rainfed and borewell irrigated groundnut (Rs.47274 ha -1 and Rs.51619 ha -1 ), respectively. The net returns realised under rainfed and borewell irrigated maize was found to be more i.e., Rs.11570 ha -1 and Rs.31405 ha -1 , respectively. Whereas, in case of ragi, net returns under rainfed condition was Rs. -2440 ha -1 and in irrigated condition it was Rs.13552 ha -1 . Comparison reveals that, the cost and net returns of all crops in CDZ were more than the Cost of Cultivation Scheme (CCS) estimates for Karnataka due to higher productivity of crops in Tumakuru district (CDZ) except in rainfed ragi (Rs.-2440 ha -1 ).","PeriodicalId":14496,"journal":{"name":"IOSR Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Science","volume":"61 1","pages":"21-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84477121","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}

It has low mortality rate in adult but with morbidity rate of up to 100% in susceptible animal populations. This research work was designed to determine the seroprevalence of FMD and risk factors associated with it in four districts of Bauchi local government, Bauchi State Nigeriausing ELISA kit and a structured questionnaire survey. Blood samples were collected froma total of 270 cattle (56 males and 214 females). The data generated were analysed using SPSS and chi-square test was used for comparison of variables. The result showed that out of the 270 serum samples tested, 171 (63.3%) were found to be positive for FMDV antibodies.Individual district prevalence rates were Bauchi (79.4%), Galambi (50%), Miri (61.1%) and Zungur (64.3%). No statistical difference (P>0.0001) was noted in the distribution of the positive samples among the four districts studied. Breeds distribution showed that Muturu had 2/2 (100%) FMD seropositivity, followed by Sokoto Gudali (Bokoloji) and white Fulani (Bunaji) having 2/3 (66.67%) and 153/235 (65.11%) respectively; and the lowest prevalence was among the Cross breed 14/30 (46.67%). There was no statistical significance (P>0.0001) observed among the different breeds. The seroprevalence of FMD among the different sexes showed the female cattle have 155/214 (72.43%) as against the male cattle with 16/56 (28.57 %). There was significant difference (P≤0.0001) in the seroprevalence of FMD between the female and male cattle in the study area. There were significant differences (P≤0.0001) in the seroprevalence of FMD in the cattle population among the four districts.

With the exception of Miri district where serotype SAT2 was higher (66.7%) than the other two, all the districts exhibited prevalence of the serotypes in descending order of prevalence as Serotype O, A and SAT2.
