Total cattle presented for slaughter, number of bulls and cows slaughtered and number of condemned foetuses were recorded on daily basis for one month. The results revealed that 64.28% and 35.72% of the cattle slaughtered during the study period were cows and bulls respectively. Out of the percentage of cows slaughtered, 7.5% were pregnant and their foetuses were wasted. Furthermore, the study revealed that there was one case of foetal wastage for every thirty three (1:33) cows slaughtered. This wastage may lead huge depletion of future reproductive stock which is disastrous to the future of livestock industry in meeting beef and milk demand of the teaming population. The estimated financial losses accrued were ₦3,944,000.00 monthly translating to annual economic loss of ₦47,280,000.00 which is enormous for the State bear. The finding urges for urgent action to be put in place to checkmate the marketing and slaughter of pregnant cattle in the State. Cattle marketers, rearers, butchers and consumers should be sensitized on the financial and health implications of pregnant cows slaughter and foetus handling in transmitting zoonotic diseases.

Over 70% of Nigerians are employed directly or indirectly in the agricultural sector which provides raw materials, employment, food and income and serves as a foreign exchange earner. The discovery of crude oil in the late 1950s dwindled government attention on agriculture. This has left the Nigerian economy with shortage of food production to feed the growing population. The agricultural business environment in Nigeria is frustrated by series of inhibiting factors; poor income, inadequate access to loan and credit facilities and insufficient legislations and government policies.

One of the toasted portions was toasted for the second time after milling at 400C for 30 minutes. Four experimental diets were formulated. Diet 1 contained 0 % AASM while diets 2, 3 and 4 contained raw, toasted and re-toasted AASM at 20 % levels of inclusion. Twenty-four crossbred rabbits with initial weight of 650 g were used. The animals were divided into four treatments of six rabbits per treatment. Each treatment had triplicates of two animals housed in wire/wooden hutches. They were allocated to the four dietary treatments in a completely randomized design for twelve weeks feeding trial. Feed intake and weight gains were determined. At the end of the feeding trial, digestibility trial was conducted. Final weight, total weight gain, mean weight gain, total feed intake and feed conversion ratio were significantly (P<0.05) different between the treatments. Although animals on diet 1 showed superior weight gain, those on diet 4 performed better than animals on diets 2 and 3. It is thus concluded that re-toasted AASM can be used in the diet of rabbits.

The samples were subjected to routine soil tests while the forms of sulphur were determined using turbidmetric method. Descriptive analysis was used for the interpretation of the data.

The sulphur level in both locations was sufficient. Differences in the concentration of the forms of sulphur were observed. Total sulphur had the highest amount of sulphur 498.30 mg kg-1, while non-sulphate sulphur had the least amount 0.74 mg kg-1. The low amounts of adsorbed and non-sulphate sulphur observed were attributed to the texture (sandy loam) and pH (6.24 and 6.99) of the soil. It can be concluded that the sulphur levels in both locations; Gaya and Wudil were high. Therefore, management strategies that will enable sulphur mineralization in the soil should be maintained by farmers to enhance availability of sulphate in the soil.","PeriodicalId":357523,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA Journal of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116722533","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}

Multi-stage sampling procedure was adopted in selecting respondents for the study. Structured questionnaire and interview schedule were used to collect data from the respondents for the study. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency distribution, percentage and means while multiple regression was used to test the hypothesis. The result showed that the farmers were of mixed gender (56-3% male, 43.6% female). The mean age was 43years, 76.2% has formal education and an average household size of 5 persons with average of 2 migrants per household. Adequate extension education (mean = 1.16) was ranked first among the strategies for reducing rural migration while the multiple regression result showed that marital status (18.775, ≤ 0.05), education (20.900, ≥ 0.05), household size (20.025, ≤ 0.05) had significant relationship with the member of migrants in a household.

The study recommended provision of proper agricultural extension programmes and needed social amenities in the study area as identified as major causes of rural- urban migration. Proper agricultural extension programmes should be made available in the study area as this would helped to increase farmers knowledge on production practices and possible ways of reducing the effects of labour shortages.

The aim of this study was to assess the major fungal pathogens associated with tomato and pepper with a view to identify their presence incidence and severity. Field assessment was conducted in five irrigation villages in Jama’are during the dry season. At each location, 50 plants were assessed in fields by counting number of infected crops observed in an “X” pattern across the fields. Infected portion of diseased samples were collected for microscopic identification of the pathogens. Pathogenicity test was carried out to confirm the ability of the isolated pathogens to produceypical symptoms of the disease on the healthy plants. Data obtained were subjected for analysis of variance (ANOVA) at 5% level of significance. The result of the study shows that tomato recorded the highest disease incidence and severity in Dako-dako and DogonJeji while pepper recorded the lowest disease incidence and severity at Digiza. A total of 16 different fungal pathogens were identified based on cultural morphology and microscopic identification on potato dextrose agar (PDA) at 25±2ºC. Pathogenicity test revealed that 13 fungal pathogens were highly pathogenic to tomato and pepper. Identified fungal pathogens are the main causal agent of diseases in the study area which cause substantial losses and damages to the economic crops.
