Abattoirs Waste water samples were collected from different locations which include Modern Market, Wadata, Wurukum, North bank, new bridge. The samples were transported to the Microbiology laboratory, Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi. Standard microbiological tests were carried out to identify the organisms from abattoir waste water. The fungi species identified were, Aspergillus spp, Mucor, Absidia, Fusaruim, Rhizopus spp, Saccharomyces. Rhizopus and Mucor spp had the highest prevalence accounting for 21.05%, while Fusaruim spp had the lowest prevalence accounting for 10.52%. From the statistical analysis using ANOVA, there was significant difference between the colony counts in the different locations. Wurukum had the highest fungi count (20.40± 3.20 CFU/ml), followed by Wadata market (18.40± 9.62 CFU/ml), New bridge had the lowest fungi count of (8.20 ± 8.49 CFU/ml). The Physicochemical characteristics of abattoir waste water. Physicochemical analysis of waste water from abattoir shows that the temperature of wastewater ranges from 28.9°C to 29.8°C. The temperature was within the limit for wastewater discharge of <40°. The pH of the wastewater was near neutral (8.0-9.4), which plays a major role in determining the qualitative and quantitative abundance of microorganisms in the wastewater. From the findings of this study, it is recommended that there is need for regulatory authorities to enforce strict compliance to environmental safety rules.","PeriodicalId":448325,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scholarly Research in Multidisciplinary Studies","volume":"IA-22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126564948","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}

Data were collected by using pre-tested questionnaires, focus group discussion, retrospective data from woreda and observation of infrastructures. The result showed that Mastitis, Ovine Pasteurellosis and Newcastle diseases were the first ranked diseases of cattle, sheep and poultry, respectively in the study area. Most veterinary service delivery centers lacked appropriate facilities to restrain and handle clinical cases and they were not well equipped. 95% of the clinical cases were diagnosed only based on the clinical signs or history alone. Based on veterinarian’s response, shortage of diagnostic and treatment materials including drugs (100%), lack of drug handling and storage room (75.5%) and budget shortage (42.8%) were management related problems while home service need of farmers (85.7%) and less interest of farmers in paid vaccination (64.3%) were farmers’ related constraints. Whereas lack of commitment were the veterinarian related constraints raised by veterinarians themselves. The five years annual budget allocation was very low compared to the planned budget every year in government veterinary clinic. Fulfilling the necessary equipments for diagnosis and treatment, controlling smugglers, crush development in each kebele, awareness creation for farmers and capacity building of animal health assistants could help in improving the livestock health problems and quality of veterinary service delivery system in the district.","PeriodicalId":448325,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scholarly Research in Multidisciplinary Studies","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129876533","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}

This could be due to many factors like management, environmental factors and races of honeybees. The aim of this study was to evaluate productive potentiality trait of local honeybee colonies for further colonies multiplication purpose. We obtained 20 selected strong honeybee colonies from local beekeepers within traditional hives and transferred into movable frame hive at Dilla site. All the transferred colonies were managed properly to establish themselves and acquire uniform strength. These colonies were evaluated for different parameters such as hygienic behavior, brood, pollen and nectar area, swarming and absconding tendency at different season. The result indicated that the mean percent removal per colony varied from 86.57 (February) to 99.62 (August). The highest brood rearing activity was observed in September and March that covered up to 148.9±14.16 unit areas while the least was observed during November (1.19 ±0.43) unit area. Maximum pollen and nectar area was found in October (97.5±12.40) unit area and April (81.88±9.47) unit area. While minimum pollen area (5.25±7.13) unit area and nectar (1.10±0.1) area was occupied in November. In general, the study showed that A. m. scutellata honeybees are good in hygienic behavior and brood rearing performance under optimum management practices in the study area. On average 25% of absconding was observed at study site over the last two years of the study period at the time of pollen and nectar shortage mainly November and May Therefore, it is recommended to investigate its detail behavioral aspects whether it is due to environmental or genetically factor for future selection and improvement.","PeriodicalId":448325,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scholarly Research in Multidisciplinary Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131270363","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}
