Nullipars constitutes 21.7% of the 272 females dissected. 80.2% of the 213 pars were at different stages of pregnancy; 32.5% had eggs and 20.3%, 17.5% 9.9% had 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd -instar larvae in their uteri, while 42 pars had empty uteri. Mean monthly pregnancy rates were 70.2 ± 0.03% (57.1%-100%), highest in the peak wet season (34.5%) (July-September) and low in both warm wet (10.6%) (October) and hot dry (11.8%) (February-March) seasons. Virgin females were generally scarce. Abortion, insemination failure and ovular blockage were the common reproductive abnormalities in the population, totaling 9.9%. The results indicate that nutritional and physical stress were the likely constraints to optimum productivity.

These analyses consisted of watching all the steps involved in the milking of the six cows selected by simple random sampling, recording temperature of the milk at the end of the milking process, collecting swab and milk samples and testing them microbiologically to determine level of bacterial contamination and also for the isolation of common food borne pathogens and indicator organisms. The temperature recorded for bulk milk at the end of the milking process was about 32oC. The total aerobic plate count obtained for both the milk and the swab samples ranged from 8.0 Log 10 to 11.4 Log 10 cfu/ml or cm 2 as the case may be. Of the samples examined, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were isolated from 57% and 48% respectively. Education of the producers on the hazards and the critical control points, and the importance of hygienic environment are stressed. Some control measures are suggested.

The immunological response of each goat as the infection progressed was determined by titrating the serum antibody level against the viral load using Goat Synovial Membrane cells as the indicator medium. Titre end-points were determined by recording the wells showing the characteristic cytopathic effects of giant cell formation and ballooning. Viral load determination was done by estimating the number of virons in the plasma of the affected goats. Using ELISA technique, the cytokine levels in the serum and CSF were estimated as the infection progressed. This study revealed that in the face of active production of neutralizing antibody and copious secretion of IL-8 and IL-10, the infection still progressed to a full blown diseases among the asymptomatic infected goats thus indicating that the neutralizing antibody produced could not mount an effective resistance against the progress of the disease in the affected animals.

The control diet (T1) had no LIVFIT VET ® stimulant in it. LIVFIT VET ® was fed continuously in the second treatment (T2) ration to the grower pigs for eight weeks. Treatment 3 (T3) had normal rations post weaning for four weeks and the stimulant from 11 weeks post weaning (late phase) till 15 weeks of age. The fourth ration (T4) had LIVFIT VET ® added as a starter booster to the grower ration (1st Phase) for four weeks (week 7-11) and normal unsupplemented ration thereafter. Mean weekly and total feed intakes were highest in the pigs given the LIVFIT VET ® as starter diet and also in the second phase of feeding (treatments T3 and T4. The lowest feed intake (P ® supplement continuously through the duration of the trial (Treatment T1). LIVFIT VET ® application also enhanced feed conversion but at varying extents. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) concentrations were highest in pigs on the control (P nd phase LIVFIT VET ® supplementation (T3) and lowest (P 0.01). Although variations in haematological parameters, RBC, WBC, Hg, PCV, MCH, MCHC, MCV, Neutrophils and Lymphocytes were within normal ranges for pigs, the values were not influenced by dietary treatments. The bulk of the data suggested that LIVFIT VET ® be fed to pigs as a starter or booster for four weeks only and normal rations thereafter till slaughter weight is attained.
