A total of 80 eggs were assigned to each of the four PRESI treatments. PRESI-3h, PRESI-6h and PRESI-9h eggs were placed in an incubator at 37.5°C and 65% relative humidity for 3, 6 and 9 h, respectively, before storage with the PRESI-0h (control) eggs for 14 d at 18°C. After 14 d storage period the eggs were incubated at 37.5°C and 65% relative humidity. After 30d incubation period, the total number of eggs hatched (keets) were counted and all unhatched eggs opened to determine fertility. Hatchability data were analyzed using General linear Models of SAS and the model included fixed effects of PRESI treatments. The results indicated that PRESI treatment had an influence on the hatchability of both fertile and set eggs. PRESI-6h resulted in higher hatchability of both fertile and set eggs compared to the control group. There were however, no significant differences in hatchability of fertile eggs and hatchability of set eggs between the PRESI-9h and the control groups. These results indicate that PRESI-6h greatly reduces embryonic mortality resulting in higher hatchability compared to the other groups. It therefore appears that PRESI-6h could be used as a strategy of improving the hatchability of guinea fowl eggs stored for 14d.","PeriodicalId":372944,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal Science Advances","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125683559","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}

In situ substrates tested included alfalfa hay (AHS), grass hay (GHS), corn (CS), corn/oats/barley/molasses (COBS) and oats (OS).

Faecal samples from 350 cattle were examined microscopically using Modified Stoll’s ova counting method, 109 (31.14%) were found positive for Fasciola gigantica and mean eggs per gram of faeces (EPG) were 133.03±9.04. Association of liver fluke infection with age, sex, nutritional condition of the cattle; existence of intermediate host, vegetation with infective metacercariae and seasonal trend were also observed through questionnaire survey. Higher rate of infection was found in older animals compared to younger one. The prevalence of Fascioliasis was higher in females (41.36%) than males (13.85%). Significantly (P<0.05) higher prevalence were found in poor health animals than apparently normal healthy animals. Significantly (P<0.01) higher prevalence of Fascioliasis was recorded in winter season (51.33%) followed by rainy (24.24%) and summer season (18.10%). A total of 278 aquatic snails were collected from the study area, among them 7 (2.52%) were infected with Gymnocephalous cercariae. At necropsy, Fasciola infected liver appeared larger with tensed capsule and bile ducts were dilated, thickened with fibrous tissue masses forming the characteristic pipe-stem liver.","PeriodicalId":372944,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal Science Advances","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131260952","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}
