A one-year field experiment was carried out on poorly aerated, low-fertility soil at Nsukka in south-eastern Nigeria. The study’s objective was to examine the potential of chopped water hyacinth (WH) and NPK as soil conditioners in maize fodder production. Treatments were factorial combinations of four WH rates (0, 10, 20, and 40 t/ha) and inorganic fertilizer (NPK) at 0 and 0.15 t/ha, giving a total of eight treatment combinations with three replications in a randomised complete block design. The results revealed that nutrient management practices using organic manure (water hyacinth) and inorganic fertilizer (NPK) influence maize performance. Conclusively, the sole application of WH40 or the treatment combination of WH40+NPK0.15 proved more effective in maize performance with respect to vegetative growth, while WH20 effectively produced fodder yield and is therefore recommended for optimum fodder yield for pasture farmers. \u0000","PeriodicalId":357523,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA Journal of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology","volume":"17 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138970697","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}

Twenty-four six weeks old, mixed-breed rabbits of both sexes were allotted into three groups randomly containing eight rabbits each. The treatment groups (T1, T2, and T3) were fed for five weeks on three different diets containing GNC, CSC, and PKC as protein sources respectively. Data generated were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. It was revealed that majority of the performance parameters were not affected (p>0.05) except final body weight which differed significantly (p<0.05) across the treatment groups. The ash contents of the diets also varied significantly (p<0.05) amid other parameters of nutrient digestibility. The diets had no adverse effects on hematological and biochemical parameters, but total bilirubin, creatinine, and sodium were affected (p<0.05). This study also revealed that CSC compared favorably with GNC in terms of growth performance and economics of rabbit production, while PKC had poor economic values for production. It was therefore suggested that the three cakes are non-toxic to the muscle, kidneys, and liver of rabbits at 17.43% inclusion level. This indicates that groundnut cake, cottonseed cake and palm kernel cake can be used as sources of protein in the diet of weaner rabbits without affecting the blood and serum biochemical parameters of weaner rabbits because the enzyme levels continued within the reference range of healthy rabbits.","PeriodicalId":357523,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA Journal of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139000795","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}

The present study seeks to understand farmers’ knowledge of health and socio-economic benefits of orange fleshed sweet potato in Kwara State, Nigeria. A total of 139 sweet potato farmers were sampled. A structured questionnaire was used to collect primary data. Data collected were analyzed with frequency count, percentages, mean, standard deviation and Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC). Findings showed that majority (87.1%) had knowledge of socio-economic benefits of growing OFSP. Most of the respondents (63.3%) had moderate knowledge of the socio-economic benefits of growing OFSP. The respondents agreed that consumption of OFSP improve digestion (46.8%), boost immune system (31.7%) and improve vision (12.2%). Respondents additionally agreed that growing OFSP had mainly increased household income (34.5%), improved food security (47.5%) and increased participation in social activities (33.1%). Inadequate access to planting materials (79.1%) was the leading challenges to growing OFSP. PPMC analysis indicated that household size, family members involved in farming, years of experience, number of plots, income and knowledge of OFSP were the factors that influence farmers’ perception on health/socioeconomic benefits of OFSP at p≤0.05 level of significance. This study concluded that farmers had moderate knowledge level on health and socio-economic benefits of cultivating and consumption of OFSP. Therefore, agricultural extension agents should intensify efforts in the supply of planting materials and enlightenment of health benefits for improved vision.  ","PeriodicalId":357523,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA Journal of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology","volume":"10 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139000180","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}

The fish samples that had been preserved with the plant extract were monitored for spoilage at an interval of four (4) hours for the period of forty eight (48) hours and the organoleptic characteristics were observed and recorded. The shelf life of the experimental African catfish was extended from 20 hours as seen in the unpreserved sample to between 24 – 26 hours in the preserved sample. The study also indicated that the duration of dip did not have any effect on the preservative action of black pepper seed extract and this was because the extract was only able to extend the shelf life of the sample to 24 – 26 hours before becoming unfit for consumption at 28 hours for both the 10 and 20 minutes dipping durations. It can therefore be concluded from the findings of this research that African catfish can be preserved using natural preservatives (plants) and thereby reducing post-harvest losses.","PeriodicalId":357523,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA Journal of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology","volume":"57 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138999159","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}

The pathogen, Anaplasma Spp destroys red blood cells resulting in anaemia. The study was aimed at determining the prevalence of Anaplasmosis in Goats and Sheep in Wukari metropolis, Taraba State, Nigeria and to determine the prevalence based on age and sex. A total of 100 small ruminants (n =50 sheep, n =50 goats) were randomly sampled. 5mls of blood were collected via jugular vein puncture stained with Giemsa, and examined under a microscope for the pathogen. An overall prevalence of 21% was obtained; goats had a prevalence of 32% while sheep had 10%. Based on age, the prevalence was observed higher in adults (>2yrs) than the young ones (≤ 2yrs), while prevalence based on sex was higher in females than in the males. Prevalence among the female animals was observed higher in pregnant ones in both goats and sheep and therefore, special veterinary and management care should be given to tick infested pregnant animals because of their prone to the disease due to their suppressed immunity during pregnancy. Also, adult animals that have gone through many ticks’ seasons with heavy tick infestation should also be given special veterinary and management attention. Veterinary care through prevention and control of ticks by chemical method either by fumigation of the animal farms with acaricides or regular treatment of tick infested animals with acaricides by direct application on the animal host is recommended. Also, management changes such as clearing bushes, keeping pastures mowed and avoiding tick habitats during the season of greatest tick activity may be helpful and therefore recommended.

The objective of this study was to determine the extent to which supplementary feeding improves milk yield and quality of lactating White Fulani cows grazed on mixture of Andropogon gayanus (Gamba grass) and Panicum maximum (Guinea grass). Twelve White Fulani cows weighing average of 250±2.217kg with average age of 5±1.5 years between 2nd and 3rd lactations, were subjected to four dietary treatments: T1 (control), T2 (3kg concentrate), T3 (4kg concentrate) and T4 (5kg concentrate) per head per day. The treatments consisted of three replicates in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) experiment. Milk yield was measured with a cylinder which is graduated in litres. The chemical composition of milk was carried out to determine milk protein, fat, total solids, ash vitamins, minerals, pH and density.

Numerous studies have consistently reported pasture-based system in promoting animal welfare by allowing chickens to exhibit their natural behaviors, reducing stress levels, and enhancing overall health. Moreover, pasture-raised poultry products have demonstrated superior nutritional profiles, characterized by elevated levels of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. The environmental benefits of pasture-based systems include enhanced soil fertility, reduced soil erosion, and lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional indoor systems. However, successful implementation of pasture-based systems requires careful management practices, addressing concerns related to predator control, disease risks, and labor requirements.

Data collected was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings from the study revealed that most fish farmers were males (58.2%), married (60%), 25.5% were less than 25 years, and 36.4% earned ₦201,000 - ₦300,000 annually.  Only 50% of the fish farmers knew the extension agents in their area. Extension agents visit the fish farmers monthly (30.0%), the frequency of innovation dissemination showed that 37.3% fish farmers do not receive innovation at all. Group demonstration (=3.10) and mass media (=2.87) were mostly used by extension agents, while political affiliation (=3.36) and Government policy (=3.34), were major constraints to effective extension service delivery.  Mass media was commonly used by the extension agents; field trip was effective and preferred by the fish farmers for dissemination of innovation.
