Disinfectant Effects of Formalin Solution on Experimental Infection of Clarias Gariepinus with Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
Adebola Oluyinka Ajiboye*, Olayinka Remilekun Anifowose, Gbolahanmi Akinola Oladosu, Oluyemisi Mary Animashaun
One of the challenges facing fish hatcheries is diseases killing fish hatchlings. Therefore, the disinfectant effects of formalin on experimental infection of Clarias gariepinus juvenile with Pseudomonas aeruginosa were investigated. The infection trial was carried out by immersion of fish in water containing isolates of P. aeruginosa at the rate of 5ml/L to achieve 4.5 x 108 CFU/L. Gills, liver,
Prevalence and Plasmid Profile of Fluoroquinolone-Resistant Escherichia coli isolates from Domestic Animals in Enugu State, Nigeria
Adonu, Cyril*, Onwusoba Restus, Esimone Charles
Plasmid analysis is an important technique for the determination and characterization of antibiotic resistance traits in procaryotes. This study is aimed at investigating the prevalence and plasmid profile of fluoroquinolone resistant E. coli isolated from domestic livestock in Enugu State, Nigeria. A total of 559 Escherichia coli were isolated from pig, cattle and chicken in Enugu State, Nigeria

Lipton tea and 28 days detox slim tea are herbal teas which are commonly used for their health benefits and wide range of therapeutic effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the administration of hot water extracts of Lipton tea and 28 days detox slim tea on reproductive hormones and hematological parameters of female albino rats. Thirty-five (35) female albino rats grouped in
Enhancement of Nutritional Content of Traditional Banana Beer Using Bio-Process
Uzabakiriho Thierry, Uzodinma Eunice Uche Osinachi
This research study was undertaken to enhance the nutritional quality of traditional banana beer using bioprocess. Traditional banana beers (S1, S2, and S3) which acted like control were produced from the mixture of fermented banana juice with roasted sorghum. On the other hand, improved banana beers (S4–S12) were produced from blends of banana juice, sorghum, malt, hops, and water. The experiment
Chemical Composition of Fortified, Ready-to-Use Maize-Bambara Groundnut Malt and Maize-Cowpea Malt Complementary Foods for Boosting Immunity in Infants Against Flu-Like Diseases
Ajibo Happiness*, Attaugwu Roseline Nwabugo, Uvere Peter Orji
Maize-bambara groundnut malt and maize-cowpea malt complementary foods were fortified with a flour blend of edible termite and Hibiscus sabderiffa calyces, fermented and subjected to extrusion cooking. The fortified flour blends were evaluated for proximate composition, immune boosting micronutrients and chemical compounds known to be effective against flu-like viruses. The protein, carbohydrate,
Flavor and Shelf Life of Smoked African Catfish (Clarias Gariepinus) Using Various Spicies in South East, Nigeria
Echezona Cynthia Ijeoma*, Ikeogu Chika Flourence, Onoja Clement Raphael
Fishes are the cheapest source of animal protein and play an important role in the diet of many people. Freshly caught fish spoil easily and therefore require adequate preservation and storage. Fish begin to deteriorate as soon as they leave the water. The four most popular methods of fish preservation are freezing, canning, smoking and pickling, In Africa, especi
