Abstract Background Antibiotics are routinely used on poultry for therapy and prevention of diseases to enhance animal growth. The objective this study was develop validate a sensitive reliable liquid chromatography with UV detection (LC-UV) method the simultaneous determination seven multiclass antibiotic residues (amoxicillin, ampicillin, penicillin, sulfamethoxazole, gentamicin, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin) in chicken tissues. Methods optimized complete separation selected compounds...
Ethiopia has made significant progress in reducing malnutrition the past two decades. Despite such improvements, a substantial segment of country's population remains chronically undernourished and suffers from micronutrient deficiencies increasing diet-related non-communicable diseases as diabetes, hypertension cancer. This survey aims to assess anthropometric status, dietary intake status Ethiopian children, women adolescent girls. The study will also coverage direct indirect...
Annual surveys of refugees in Gambella, Ethiopia suggest that anemia is a persistent public health problem among non-pregnant women reproductive age (NP-WRA, 15–49 years). Measurement most refugee camp settings conducted using an invasive HemoCue 301. We assessed the accuracy and precision non-invasive, pulse CO-oximeter measuring NP-WRA four Gambella camps. population-representative household survey between November 7 December 4, 2022. Hemoglobin (Hb) concentration was measured by 301,...
ABSTRACT Recognizing the broader accessibility of iodized salt compared to wheat flour, Ethiopian government is considering fortification with folic acid, and possibly vitamin B 12 , address high incidence neural tube defects (NTDs) in Ethiopia. To prepare for this program, we assessed practices related edible procurement consumption, acceptability novel salts fortified iodine acid (double‐fortified salt, DFS) or iodine, (triple‐fortified TFS) (IS). We surveyed 840 women reproductive age...
Background Undernutrition reduction requires coordinated efforts across sectors to address its causes. A multisectoral approach is important in diagnosing the problem and identifying solutions that would be implemented different sectors. The study aimed explore experience of health agriculture extension workers integrating nutrition-specific nutrition-sensitive interventions provided households with children under two years age at community level. Methods qualitative was conducted agrarian...
This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of respiratory problems, in particular byssinosis, and explore factors associated with their occurrence among a group 595 randomly selected workers representing 40.5% those exposed dusty operations typical Ethiopian cotton textile mill. A standard questionnaire on respiration administered pre postshift forced vital capacity (FVC) expiratory volume one second (FEV1) were determined for each worker; found have byssinosis other diseases...
In the Ethiopian Rift Valley, ways to reduce fluoride (F) burden from drinking water have been unsuccessful. Calcium (Ca) intake may mitigate fluorosis by binding with F ions and preventing absorption. The purpose of this study was examine association between Ca proportion symptoms in school-age children an area where levels are known be higher than WHO limit 1.5 mg F/L water.A cross-sectional survey Halaba zone involved 135 eligible aged 6-13 year who were recruited dental assessed a...
Objectives We aimed to estimate the prevalence of folate deficiency and contributing factors among pregnant women. Design A community-based, cross-sectional study. Setting Haramaya District, Eastern Ethiopia. Participants Four hundred forty-six women participated in Primary outcome measure The risk factors. Results Overall, was 49.3% (95% CI 44.6% 54.1%). Pregnant with iron anaemia were 2.94 times more likely develop (adjusted OR (AOR)=2.9, 95% 1.9 4.7). Respondents good knowledge...
Abstract Background It is well known that the magnitude of undernutrition in Ethiopia unacceptably high. The burden co-occurrence iron, folate, and vitamin A deficiency, on other hand, has received less attention. Thus, this study, we looked at prevalence deficiency pregnant women eastern Ethiopia. Methods community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 397 Haramaya district, An interview-assisted questionnaire blood serum were collected from using standard techniques shipped to an...
Objectives: Due to the higher reach of iodized salt (100%) as compared wheat flour (30%), Ethiopia is considering fortifying with folic acid a means reducing high prevalence neural tube defects in country. The objective study was evaluate stability (double-fortified or DFS) and its acceptability Ethiopia. Methods: Stability fine assessed over 6 months at three storage temperatures (25°C, 35°C, 45°C). Reaction kinetic parameters Arrhenius model were used for estimation. A three-point hedonic...
Access to basic sanitation services is essential enhance public health and well-being. However, ensuring adequate coverage difficult in many parts of Ethiopia, including the Geshiyaro Project implementation sites. The project part monitoring evaluation activities aimed at assessing access water services. Hence, research on associated risk factors sites lacking. Thus, purpose this study was fill gap. A community-based cross-sectional conducted from June July 2023. total 7995 households were...
Introduction The prevalence of neural tube defects (NTDs) is higher in Ethiopia than most other countries, and ~84% Ethiopian women reproductive age (WRA) have folate insufficiency, a major risk factor for NTDs. Salt fortification with folic acid potential strategy to improve women’s status, but data are needed on the acceptability, nutritional impact safety iodised salt. Methods analysis study designed as community-based, household-randomised, dose–response trial. A total 360 non-pregnant...
ABSTRACT There is a high incidence of neural tube defects (NTDs) in Ethiopia and folate insufficiency, primary risk factor for NTDs, common among Ethiopian women reproductive age (WRA). Folic acid fortification salt has been proposed as strategy to control these problems. In preparation an intervention trial assess the nutritional effects folic acid‐fortified salt, we measured discretionary intakes nonpregnant WRA using observed weighed food records, assessed household disappearance rates....
This research aims to evaluate agricultural water productivity based on consumption (ETa) and biomass production of smallholder irrigation schemes along a sand river with dam in the riverbeds northern Ethiopia. Remotely sensed satellite data, WaPOR (Water Productivity through Open access derived data) database was used estimate arid semi-arid area. The spatial analysis ETa revealed that both annual seasonal values increase across multiple years after construction at irrigated areas Mai Gobo...
Moringa stenopetala is an indigenous multipurpose tree grown in the back yard and crop lands with nutritional medicinal value. This study aimed to produce M. leaf powder supplementation on macro micronutrient nutritive values of maize–soybean–chickpea sorghums–soybean–chickpea food formulations for use as a complementary infants young children. The dried leaves grains were ground sieved appropriate particle size. Proportions grain flour admixed determined using...
Sand dams are a type of rainwater harvesting technology that can increase groundwater recharge in dry land environments. They constructed across seasonal sandy rivers and trap sand water during floods. The acts as natural filter storage medium for the water, which be extracted by local communities through wells, pumps, or scoop holes. This research aims to evaluate agricultural productivity based on consumption (ETa) biomass production smallholder irrigation schemes along river with dam...
