This research estimated genetic and phenotypic correlations between external egg quality traits in Japanese quails reared in Maiduguri, Borno state, Nigeria using Restricted Maximum Likelihood procedures. A total of 1,320 eggs were collected from 110 quail hens, progeny of the base population at weeks 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 of age and were used for egg quality analysis. Data were collected on 9
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 (
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 Expression of IGF-1 and IGF-2 in Nigerian Sheep Breeds: Implications for Growth and Productivity
Abba Mohammed, Maryam Mustapha Shattima, Abdulyekeen Olanrewaju Abdulraheem, Hajja Ashe Modu-kagu, Abdulrazaq Onimisi Raji, Jibrin Aliyu, Nurudeen Kehinde Alade
This research investigates the genetic and phenotypic variability among three Nigerian indigenous sheep breeds (Balami, Uda, and Yankasa) by assessing morphometric characteristics and gene expression profiles of Insulin-like Growth Factors (IGF-1 and IGF-2). A total of 45 sheep (15 per breed), aged 1 to 5 years and comprising 20 males and 25 females, were analyzed for body weight, height at wither
