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
Genotype and Phenotype Interactions Influencing External Egg Quality Traits in Wild-Type Japanese Quails Reared in Borno State, Nigeria phone

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

Animal husbandry constitutes a very vital stake in the production proteins human and animal care however adequate management practices remain the mainframe of the animal husbandry. Antibiotics have extensively utilized in the management of animals for healthy living and growth promotion which has led emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacteria. The emergence of this resistance is responsible fo
