The Cichlidae Fishes of Otamiri River, Imo State Nigeria: A Model System of Adaptation Evolution
Christopher Nnamdi Onwuka
The adaptative evolutionary trend of the fishes – Cichlidae was evaluated using the body morphometric, the feeding ecology and environmental factors controlling the distribution of the fishes in Otamiri River, Imo State in relation to the growth biology and adaptation to aquatic life were studied between February and April 2021. Two hundred and twenty-two (220) samples were collected and identifie
Participatory Inclusiveness in the Potato Value Chain in South-Western Uganda
Patricia Nsiime, Daniel Ndyetabula, John Jeckoniah, Alex Ariho
Smallholder farmers play a major role in the agricultural value chains (AVCs) of developing countries Uganda inclusive, and this has been of great concern to policy makers, development partners, research, and extension workers. The study underscores the evidence of participatory inclusiveness on the potato value chain (PVC) in South-Western (SW) Uganda. The study on which the paper is based adopte
Genetic Estimates and Reproductive Traits of Two Local Turkey Variants and their Reciprocal Hybrids in Zaria, Nigeria
Shettima Maryam Mustapha, Abba Mohammed, Abdulyekeen Olarewaju Abdulraheem, Zannah Bashir Baba, Allamin Hauwa
A two-generation experimental study was carried out to assess the reproductive performance of two indigenous turkey strains. From a foundational population composed of white, black, main cross (white male x black female), and reciprocal cross (black male x white female) birds, a total of 180 poults were generated. Each breeding group contained 45 poults, replicated three times. At eight weeks, the
Genetic Diversity of mtDNA of Donkeys in Sahel Agro-ecological Zone of Northeastern Nigeria
Adamu Jummai, Momoh Michael Ojoh, Noah Edson Terhemen Tor
The molecular characterizations of the donkey in the Sahel agro-ecological zone of the north eastern Nigeria were assessed. A total of 20 adult donkeys were sampled through stratified random sampling in some part of Borno and Yobe States and were used for the molecular characterization. to reduce the genetic relationship among animals and to increase the breed representativeness. Blood samples w
Enhancing Mechanical Strength of Materials for Construction using Agricultural Fiber Composites
David, O. Ojo
Agricultural biodegradable-filler is cost and environmentally efficient substitute to synthetic-fillers for material engineering applications. Mechanical strengths were therefore studied for agricultural fiber-composites that were made with different amounts of kenaf stem (KS), tamarind shell (TS) and resin (RS). Composites had varied percentage weights of KS (10 - 30%), a mix of TS (10%) and RS (
The Roles Played by Gender in the Production Activities of Rice Farmers in Abia State, Nigeria
Nwankwo Promise Iheanyi, Iheanyi Ezinne Chinyere
The study evaluated roles played by gender in the production activities of rice farmers in Abia State, Nigeria, focusing on demographic characteristics. Data was collected from 204 respondents using structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, regression models, and z-tests. Findings reveal that an average age for both men and women rice farmers was 37 years. Result further
