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
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
Genotype and Phenotype Interactions Influencing External Egg Quality Traits in Wild-Type Japanese Quails Reared in Borno State, Nigeria phone
Abdulyekeen Olanrewaju Abdulraheem, Abba Mohammed, Maryam Mustapha Shettima, Jimoh Olalekan Aremu, Abdulrazaq Onimisi Raji, Jibrin Aliyu
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 (
