A total of 350 fish species were collected from commercial fishermen at four landing sites (Gogaram, Dogona, Bize, Azbak) within the study area between June to November 2020. The morphometric and meristic characteristics examined could be attributed   to environmental variations (water temperature, stress, food availability, spawning ground, fishing intensity and sex). Monthly mean condition factor (1.19 ± 1.03) shows significant difference (P 0.05) during the sampling duration while highest mean condition factor was recorded in October (1.38 ± 1.15). Also change in weight of the sampled fish was caused by 77.4% change in length. A linear relationship was established with b value (1.2656) indicating a negative allometric growth pattern while correlation coefficient (r2 = 0.7775) indicated that LWR model is reliable. This study bridged literature gap on LWR and condition factor of Hydrocynus forskahlii in River Yobe, hence further research should be encouraged on the water body for sustainable utilization, decision making and policy formulation.","PeriodicalId":52680,"journal":{"name":"Aceh Journal of Animal Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47535050","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}

A total of 153-day old quails (92 males and 61 females) were used in the study. The birds were housed in a wooden cage and fed ad-libitum. Data on body weight, body length, body girth, shank length, drumstick, wing length, keel length and shank length were obtained on a weekly basis using digital scale balance, measuring tape, and vernier caliper for a period of eight weeks. Principal component analysis was performed on the data obtained using the dimension reduction with factor analysis and morphometric traits were also correlated with body weight using SPSS statistical package version 21. Female birds had a significant higher (p0.05) body weight, body girth, drumstick, and wing length value than male counterpart, while no significant difference was observed for body length and shank diameter in both genders. A significant (p0.05) high and positive correlation coefficient was obtained between body weight and other linear measurements in both sexes. For both the male and female birds, one principal component was extracted, which explained 87.79 percent and 91.34 percent of the total variation observed in both species, respectively. . The principal components had its highest loading on keel length for both male and female Japanese quail and correlated highly with all parameters measured. Thus, the keel length could be used as selection criteria for improving body weight of Japanese quail.","PeriodicalId":52680,"journal":{"name":"Aceh Journal of Animal Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45619748","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}

We determined those patterns on n = 180 livestock fecal isolates from Chikomba district by disk diffusion method. Multiple Antibiotic Resistance (MAR) indices for the isolates were determined for risk analysis. Chi-square was used to test how antibiotic susceptibility level associated with animal species and farming scale. Resistance to Tetracycline and Ampicillin was high across animal species (above 70%). Moderate levels of resistance (30% to 54%) to Erythromycin, Trimethoprim and Chloramphenicol were detected across livestock species. Resistance levels were low (below 30 %) for Ciprofloxacin and Gentamicin. Resistance to Gentamicin, Tetracycline, Ciprofloxacin, Ampicillin, Chloramphenicol and Ceftazidime was associated with animal species (P ˂ 0.05). Antibiotic susceptibility patterns were independent of farming scale (P 0.05). Frequencies of isolates within each risk zone depended on animal species (P ˂ 0.05), contrary to farming systems (P 0.05). Multi-Drug Resistance was 73%, where most isolates were resistant to 5 antibiotics (23%) and none exhibited resistance to all antibiotics. Only 55% of isolates from cattle and over 80% from pigs and layers were within the high risk zone.  Twenty nine of the isolates were extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) positive. Higher ESBL frequencies (44%) were observed within Large Scale Commercial Farms (LSCF) followed by for Small Scale Commercial Farms (SSCF) (25%) and Resettlement farms (A1) (14%). Similarly, ESBL prevalence varied by livestock species (P 0.05), as follows: pig (39%), layers (32%) and beef (12%).

The research was carried out at the Water Quality and Aquatic Biology Laboratory, Faculty of Animal Husbandry and Fisheries, Tadulako University, Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia from 17 December to 18 January 2020. A completely randomized design (CRD) was used with 4 treatments and 5 replicates. The fish oil feed enrichment treatments were: A (control, 0%); B (1%); C (2%) and D (3%). Water quality remained within the optimum range throughout the research period. Over the month, climbing perch absolute weight gain ranged from 2.4±0.981 g (A) to 3.4 ± 0.836 g (D), while growth in length ranged from 0.404±0.092 cm (A) to 0.504±0.071 cm (D); however, the differences were not statistically significant (P0.05). The survival rate of climbing perch over the one month study period was 100% under all treatments, indicating that basic nutritional needs were met.

Tamarind pulp is a phytobiotic known for its antimicrobial, growth-promoting and antioxidants properties, with little information on the mechanism of its growth promotion in fish. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of tamarind pulp (TP) meal as feed additives on the growth, gut microflora, and morphometry in Clarias gariepinus. The fish were fed with diets fortified with graded levels (0.0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% or 2.0%) of TP or 0.2% oxytetracycline (OTC). Fish weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR), gut microflora and morphometry were determined. The weight gain of fish rose (P 0.05) with increasing levels of TP, while the FCR reduced significantly, compared to those fed the control diets. The total viable counts and enterobacteriaceae from the gut of fish fed OTC-fortified control diet was lower, compared the fish fed unfortified control (0.0% TP) diet and diets containing TP. Fish fed 1.0-2.0% TP-fortified diets had significantly higher yeast counts, compared to those fed other diets, while on the other hand higher (P0.05) Streptococcus sp was obtained from fish fed the control diets. The thickness of muscular lining of the base of villi, villi height and absorption area were higher (P ˂ 0.05) in fish fed OTC-fortified (C2) diet, compared to other treatments, while lower crypt depth were obtained in fish fed TP-fortified diets. The correlation analyses showed moderate negative (R = -0.539 at P 0.05) relationship between FCR and population of enterobacteriaceae while a very strong positive relationship (R = 0.848 at P 0.01) existed between FCR and population of haemolytic Streptococcus. The enhanced growth in fish fed TP-fortified diets could be accredited to the reduced crypt depth and colonization of yeast and reduced Streptococcus counts. Therefore the application of tamarind pulp meal at 2% is recommended for enhanced growth and healthy gut microflora composition.","PeriodicalId":52680,"journal":{"name":"Aceh Journal of Animal Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42349945","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}
