The Synergistic Effect of Combining Pituitary Gland and Ovaprim Hormone on Latency, Fertility, Hatchability, and Survival of African Clariid Catfish -Clarias Gariepinus
Paul O. Ajah*, Ifunaya Vivian Anene & Love N. Allison
The hatchability of Clarias gariepinus using pituitary extract and Ovaprim hormones was carried out at the Hatchery unit of the Fisheries Department, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Abia State, Nigeria. One male to two females were used across all batch treatments (T1-T3). Batch T1 was administered 100% Ovaprim, T2 received 100% Carp Pituitary Extract-CPE, T3 a combination 50% o
Subcellular Localization of β-catenin in Submandibular Salivary Glands in Diabetic Male Rats
Maha El Shahawy
Background: Submandibular salivary gland (SMG) is a major salivary gland that is specialized for synthesis and secretion of saliva. The structure of the acini and duct system is impaired in SMG of diabetic subjects. Wnt/ꞵ-catenin signaling pathway is one of the regulators of the SMG development and regeneration. Objective: Is to assess the distribution patterns of ꞵ-catenin in adult male SMG of di

Bovine tuberculosis eradication is an actively ongoing research subject, mostly in developed countries due to its impact on economy, public health and conservation. Research on bTB in under developed countries still remain stagnant or not really progressing even though it is an endemic disease in cattle. Cattle is considered as the main host of this disease but other studies have shown that severa

This study was carried out between March to December 2022 in the south and east regions of Cameroon. Veterinary inspections were carried out on wild animal carcases, in “bush markets”. Two hundred and ninety two (292) carcasses of, antelope 109 (37.33%), doe 26 (8.9%), porcupine 72(24.66%), civet 5(1.79%), wild boar 3(1.3%) and monkey 16 (5.48%), tiger cat 4 (1.37%), civet cat 5(1.71%), Hare 15(5.
Microbiological Status and Physico Chemical Parameters of Fish and Water Samples across Selected Farms in South East Nigeria
Clement Raphael Onoja*, Chizoba Sophia Ezedinma, Kennedy Emeka Amuneke, Ijeoma Monica Izundu
A grand total of 12 water samples was collected from 4 different fish ponds (Ebenebe, Amansea, Amaenyi and Okpuno) all located in South East of Nigeria 3 samples each from concrete ponds between March and June 2021. The recorded mean physicochemical values for pH, temperature, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solid (TDS), dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD), turbidit
Local Farmers’ Perception in Managing Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, in Maize Crop in Northwest of Benin
Zachari Tonoukouin*, Besmer Régis Ahissou, Sènankpon Tcheton, Aimé H. Bokonon-Ganta
The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a major insect pest which has a potential to inflict widespread damage across multiple crops since its arrival in Africa. This study assessed local farmers’ perception and associated alternative methods against the infestation of fall armyworm in maize fields in Northwest Benin. Data were collected through surveys with 180 random
