Climate Change Risk Factors and Adaptation toward Increasing Resilience for Cattle Value Chain Activities in Borno and Yobe States, Nigeria
Gwary, D. M., Mohammed, D. and Gwary, M. M.
The study assessed climate change risk factors and adaptation among cattle value chain activities in Borno and Yobe States, Nigeria. Lot of studies were conducted on climate risk factors on crop production; however, limited researches were commissioned on livestock, particularly, on cattle value chain activities in the study area. Primary data were collected from four value chain actor’s groups,
Dietary Intake Constraints of Rural Households in Southwestern Nigeria: Implications for Nutrition Innovation
Awodele Racheal Iyabo, Aminu Oluwafunmilayo Olarewaju, Lukman Abiodun Akinbile
The menace of poverty, hunger and malnutrition, still persists among rural households in Nigeria. It is paramount to tailor agricultural extension programmes and nutritional intervention to the dietary needs of the rural populace. Hence, this study examines the dietary intake of rural households and the underlying constraints affecting them. Multistage sampling procedure was used to select 240 rur
Development of A Cascade Aeratror for Small and Medium Fish Farmers in Nigeria
Olorunwa Eric Omofunmi, Oluwabunmi John Esan
Aeration devices are designed to create a greater amount of contact between air and water to enhance the transfer of gases and increase oxidation. A cascade aerator is one of gravity aerators and classified as water-into-air aerators and one of the oldest and most common aerators. It consists of a series of steps that the water flows over (similar to a flowing stream). The main features of the cas
Growth Response and Survival of Gold Gouramis (Trichogaster trichopterus) Fry Raised on Different Starter Diets
Adebola Oluyinka Ajiboye*, Olatunji Abubakar Eletu
Eighty-four days feeding trial experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different starter feeds on growth performance and survival of gold gouramis fry, Trichogaster trichopterus. Four diets (Aller aqua, Artemia, Daphnia and Fish meal) denoted T1, T2, T3 and T4 were fed at five percent body weight to fish samples. One hundred hatchlings of Trichogaster trichopterus were stocked per

The world’s population is projected to rise from 7.7 billion to 9.7 billion in 2050, with sub-Saharan Africa contributing half of this increase. A growing population signifies an increase in the demand placed on our food and limited natural resources. With the food demand expected to increase by 50% in the next 40 years, there is the urgency to make our food production systems more resilient and s

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L, Walp) is a vegetable grown and consumed in tropical Africa. Few studies have been done on cowpea in the Central African Republic (CAR). The best popularization of accessions in circulation requires a study of varietal selection. For this reason, four local accessions of cowpea (Kahkir, Gbarahn Aie-toung and Bambalassa) collected from different localities were evaluated
