Cost Analysis of Heat Detection and Performance of Sows using Teaser Boars and BOARBETTER® Pheromone Post-Weaning
Onah Chukwudubem Charles, Nwoga Cornelius Chijioke*, Onyimonyi Anselm Ego
A study was carried out to investigate the cost analysis of heat detection and performance of sows using teaser boars (TB) and BOARBETTER® (BB) pheromone post-weaning at Livingston’s Enterprises Inc., Fairbury, Nebraska, USA. A total of 4,810 F1 (American yorkshire [sow] X landrace [boar]) weaned sows were used. The sows were allotted into two treatment groups (group 1 (control): sows heat-checked

Olayide R. Adetunji*, Adekunle O. Olanipekun, Olanrewaju M. , Queeneth A. Kingsley-Omoyibo
Connecting rod significantly impacts both piston and crankshaft, it acts as an intermediate link resisting tensile and compressive forces. Palm Kernel Shells (PKS) are solid, firm, carbonaceous, and organic by-products of the processing of the palm oil nut. This research aimed to produce an auto connecting bar from scrapped steel and PKS. The PKS were dried and milled into powder, charged into a r

This study on prevalence and fertility of hydatid cysts of Echinococcus granulosus in Sheep and Goats slaughtered n at selected abattoirs in Kaduna, Kogi, Plateau, Gombe States and the Federal Capital Territory, Northern Nigeria was conducted between February to December, 2022. Gross examination was carried out by visual inspection and palpation of lungs and liver of 906 Sheep and 1,924 Goats. Out
Multi-location Evaluation of Advanced Mungbean Lines under Different Climatic Conditions in Uganda
Emmanuel K. Mbeyagala*, Esther S. Amuge, Ramakrishnan M. Nair
Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek var. radiata], or greengram is a popular crop especially in the drought prone areas of East Africa. It is rich in micronutrients and protein thus can help ameliorate malnutrition if incorporated in diets. Yield stability across target population of environments is a critical trait for mungbean breeding in the region. In this study, i) we examined the influen
