Tetrapleura tetraptera fruit extracts were prepared and analyzed for phytochemicals. Three different types of soured soups (egusi, ogbono, and Abua native soup) were used. The soups were prepared and left for 24 hours at room temperature to sour. The pour-plate method and streaking techniques were used to isolate and identify the bacteria. The lateral flow assay device, Biothreat Alert test strip, and enzyme immunoassay kits were used to detect the bacterial toxins, while the extracts were used to test the detoxifying effectiveness of the bacterial toxins. The results showed that Lactobacillus sp, Bifidobacterium sp, Streptococcus sp, Pediococcus sp, Leuconostoc sp Bacillus cereus, Clostridium perfringens, Campylobacter jejuni, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Yersinia enterocolitica, Salmonella sp, Shigella sp, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes were associated with the soured soups; alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, flavonoids, phenols, saponins, steroids, tannins, and terpenoids were present. The quantity of saponin (5.670±0.15), steroid (4.102±0.13), terpenoid (3.194±0.03), and alkaloid (0.596± 0.01) were very high in concentrations; phenol (0.373±0.02) and tannin (0.366±0.02) were present in moderately high concentrations, while cardiac glycoside (0.007± 0.00) and flavonoid (0.073±0.00) were present in low concentrations. The toxins detected in the soured soups included Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus exotoxins. Therefore, it is concluded that the extract of Tetrapleura tetraptera has no detoxifying effect on the stability of the bacterial toxins and should, therefore, be discouraged.","PeriodicalId":169666,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agriculture and Animal Production","volume":"137 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140453081","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}

To determine the prevalence of tick infestation in cattle, a cross-sectional study was carried out in the Wayu Tuka district from October 2022 to July 2023. Three study villages were purposefully chosen, and from this chosen kebele, the study populations were chosen using simple random selection techniques. Ticks were identified by their features under a stereomicroscope. In the current study, adult ticks were collected from 384 local and cross breed cattle and examined, of which 108 (28.1%) were infested with different genera of ticks. Ticks were recorded across the study sites, with the highest and lowest prevalences of 29.9%, 27.0%, and 26.7% in Gida Abalo, Gute Badiya, and Bonaya Molo, respectively. No significant difference in prevalence was observed between the three PAs. The major tick genera identified by this study were Amblyomma variegatum, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) decoloratus, Amblyomma coherence, and Rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi, with prevalence’s of 17 (15.74%), 20 (18.51%), 11 (10.18%), and 5 (4.63%), respectively. There was statistical significance (p<0.05) between the body conditions of cattle and tick infestations in the study area. The highest prevalence of tick infestations, 53 (41.1%), was found in animals with poor body conditions, while a low prevalence of 24 (20.7%) was recorded in animals with good body conditions. On the other hand, a statistically significant difference was not observed between the age and sex of animals in the current study area (p>0.05). In general, the results of the present study reveal that there was a high tick infestation in the study area. Therefore, appropriate control measures should be implemented.","PeriodicalId":169666,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agriculture and Animal Production","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135254940","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}

To achieve this goal efficiently and sustainably, it is essential to understand and monitor the environmental factors that affect the success of fish farming. This study analyzed water temperature and pH levels in several fish ponds in the Lailan, Daqoq, Yayji, and Sarkaran regions of Iraq. Monthly and spatial variations in these environmental factors were studied over several months in the year, allowing an understanding of their impact on the aquatic environment and fish health. The results showed monthly and spatial variations in water temperature and pH levels among the studied regions. These results were compared with international standards for fish water quality, and it was concluded that most of the ponds met these standards, suggesting the potential for improving fish farming practices and increasing production. Furthermore, the study highlighted the importance of achieving a balance in water temperature and pH levels to maintain fish health and enhance the success of farming operations. These findings can contribute to agricultural sustainability, provide food resources for local communities, and achieve food security in the region.
