The objectives o the study were to determine the factors associated with the prevalence of the parasites and to identify the gastrointestnal helminths in feacal samples of WAD goats. Relevant information werecolected from the respondents through we-structured questionnaire. A total of 180 random faecal samples were collected individually from goats o varying ages in the different zones. Microscopic examination of each sample was done by the sodium chloride floatation technique. Out of 180 eacal samples colectedand examined, 118 (65.5 %) of them were inected by helmnth parasites. This indicated a high prevalence of infection. Five major factors were identified to have been associated with the prevaence of the parasites namely: poor system of management, illiteracy, lack of deworming progammes, non-commercial purpose o keeping goats and very od farmers inthe business. The following intestina helminth parasites were found in goats in order of predominance: Haemonchus contortus (381 %), Strongyliodes papillosus (19.4 %), Trichostrongylus columbriforms (15.2 %), Oesophagostonum columbianum (144 %), Fasciola species (10.1 %) and Moniezia benedeni (2.5 %).

Twenty – four Nigerian local dogs were used for the study. The dogs were divided into six groups: A, B, C, D, E, and F, with four dogs per group. Groups A and B were intravenously administered 17 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg body weight f thiopentone and ketamine respectively. But groups C and D were administered 23 mg/kg and 100mg/kg body weight of ceftriaxone and sulphadimidine respectively in addition to 20 mg/kg body weight of ketamine. However, groups E and F were administered intravenous dose of 23 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg of ceftriaxone and sulphadimidine respectively in addition to 17 mg/kg weight body of thiopentone. Vital parameters such as determination of anesthesia; onset and duration, temperature, respiratory and heart rates were recorded. The results of onset of duration of anesthesia revealed significant difference (P< 0.05) among group E, F and A animals. Although the result of onset anesthesia revealed significant difference between group A and B animals (P < 0.05). The values of respiratory rate revealed significant difference between the animals in groups D and B as well as groups F and A (P < 0.05). The values of heart rate showed significant difference between group C and D animals as well as between E and A animals (P < 0.05). Conclusively, sulphadimidine and cerftriaxone caused decreased duration of both anesthesia and onset of anesthesia when either was co-administered with ketamine or thiopentone in Nigerian local dogs. Sulphadimidine also caused increased respiratory rate, but cerftriaxone caused decreased and increased heart rate if co-administered with ketamine and thiopentone respectively. More so, thiopentone had higher durations of both anesthesia and onset of anesthesia in comparison with ketamine. So thiopentone is more potent than ketamine.","PeriodicalId":7872,"journal":{"name":"Animal Research International","volume":"275 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80023192","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}

Site of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka for a twelve-month period using the pitfall technique. Eight pitfall traps made up of plastic containers with mouth diameters of 9.80 cm and 6.20 cm deep were set monthly at random in the two sampling sites. The traps, which were filled to one third with 5 % formalin, serving a preservative, were recovered after twenty-four hours and the insects caught sorted and counted under a dissecting microscope. Species of beetle obtained from the cultivated plot were Macrocheilus labrosus, Hyparpalus sp., Carpophilus fumatus, Podagrica uniforma, Tetragonothorax sp., Chlaenius sp., Pheropsophus parallus, Silidas apicalis, Tenebroides mauritanicus, Heteroderes sp., and Heterorynchus licas while only Hyparpalus sp., and Mylabris sp., were obtained from the fallow plot. The result of Fisher's Least Significance Difference (F-LSD) test shows that the pitfall catches of beetles from the two sampling sites were significantly different at p-value of 0.0002 and mean difference of 3.417. The heterogeneity of the beetle species at the cultivated plot was traced to nature of vegetation and mode of life of the beetle species. The role of certain beetle families as faunal indicators was highlighted. Other factors, which influenced the beetle species at the arable plot and their non-trapping at the forest ecosystem, were also discussed.","PeriodicalId":7872,"journal":{"name":"Animal Research International","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80101441","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}

It is a disease that retards agricultural development in general and needs urgent attention. It has been noted that it causes aneamia in its host which often may lead to death. Many researches showed that dietary supplement can enhance trypanotolerance in various hosts. Diet is important in modulating the severity of its pathophysiological effects and can also influence the rate of recovery. Using a control diet (Diet 1)) was only chicks’ mash. this research was conducted to determine the effect of moderate protein (mixture of 250 g of corn meal, 240 g of soyabean meal and 10 g of crayfish meal in chicks’ marsh (Diet 2)), high dietary protein (mixture of 400 g of caseinogen and 300 g of soyabean meal in chicks’ mash (Diet 3)) and high dietary carbohydrate (mixture of 400 g of dextrose and 300 g of corn meal in chicks’ mash (Diet 4)) supplementation on rodent trypanomiasis. Diet 1 was used to feed rats in Cage A, Diet 2 was used to feed rats in Cage B, Diet 3 was used to feed rats in Cage C while Diet 4 was used to feed rats in Cage D. At the end of the experiment, it was observed that rats fed with Diet 2 (moderate protein diet) had the highest and significantly different (P < 0.05) red blood cell count than other treatments. This indicated that adequate nutrition reduces the effect of trypanosome and hence trypanotolerance in rats since trypanosome is known to attack red blood cells and vascular endothelium.","PeriodicalId":7872,"journal":{"name":"Animal Research International","volume":"161 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83174056","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}
