Two hundred fecal samples were collected from the calves, recruited for an all year round study (January to December 2007). Fecal samples were obtained directly from the rectum of each animal. The samples were processed based on the formol ether concentration technique and the saturated sodium chloride flotation method. Cryptosporidium spp. was detected using the modified Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) method. Significant relationships (p>0.05) between the prevalence and distribution of cryptosporidium and other enteric pathogens in the calves examined were recorded. Cryptosporidium species recorded the highest prevalence in the calves (38.5%), while coccidian had 21.2%, and Monizia expansa and Neoascaris vitulomum recorded 18.6%. There was a significant difference (p>0.05) in the prevalence of cryptosporidium species across sex and ages of the calves. Prevalence decreased with age. Infection was more common in animals aged 1-10 to 21-30 days, while in relation to sex, the female calves recorded slightly higher prevalence (38.7%) than the Males (38.3%).

The results suggest that the three models fitted the 8th week body weight records at the seventh-week body measurement closely, judging from their respective R2-values (linear, 0.58; quadratic, 0.58 and exponential, 0.57). However, their ability to predict 8th-week body weight from early records using R2-value, varied generally from 0.15 + 0.36 to 0.58 + 0.23 for all the models. The predictions of 8th-week body weights based on fit to 7th-week data were more accurate for the linear and quadratic models, though all the models predicted less than the actual 8th-week records (-32, -35 and -38.14%) for linear, quadratic and exponential respectively. It could be concluded that based on the goodness of fit to 7th week body measurements record accuracy to predict 8th-week body weight from early record, the linear model gave the best result followed by the quadratic and exponential respectively. It could therefore be said that the models have graded theoretical advantage. This may be found useful in decision making concerning replacement of broiler chicken.

Five replacement levels of the formulated feed: 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10% of FEM were used for treatments 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively with 0% FEM as control. Treatments were replicated thrice. The broiler chicks were fed the experimental birds four weeks after one-week stabilization period. Feeding and water supply were ad libitum, while medication and vaccinations were appropriately applied. The deep litter house was provided with standard brooding facilities. Measurement of initial weights and final weights of birds were taken with a sensitive weighing balance (Salter brand) while mean daily weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio and feed cost per kg gain were calculated. Results showed that final live weights 865.00g, 855.00g, 842.00g, 833.70g and 756.75g for birds fed 0%, 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5% and 10.0% FEM respectively varied significantly (p were observed in daily feed intake, daily weight gain and feed cost/kg weight gain.

They are popular meat sources for households in Enugu metropolis Nigeria, although in varying degrees. This study was carried out to examine the comparative nature of the demand for these sources of protein in the study area. The data were generated from secondary and primary sources. Secondary data was collected from existing relevant literatures. The primary data was collected from a field survey using a set of questionnaires administered randomly to selected 105 households in the study area. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The results of the study showed that beef had a higher demand in terms of quantity consumed and frequency of purchase than mutton. In the low expenditure groups, mutton was not consumed at all. Household’s total expenditure and non–resident household members were significant in explaining household’s consumption of beef, while it was only the total expenditure that was significant in explaining the household expenditure on mutton. The expenditure elasticity for beef was 0.885, while that of mutton was 0.00073.","PeriodicalId":350170,"journal":{"name":"Animal Production Research Advances","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116050831","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}
