Aim: An epidemiological study of gastrointestinal parasites working camels in Sokoto metropolis was conducted between March and September, 2013, where the general prevalence seasonal distribution were identified. Materials Methods:A total 100 faecal samples from examined using standard parasitological techniques (Centrifugal sedimentation simple flotation).Microscopic examination revealed that some positive for at least one or more parasite eggs/oocysts. Results:The overall found to be 78...
The hospital records of dog bite cases reported to the government hospitals across Niger State between January, 2006 and July, 2013 were investigated. Additionally, animal samples submitted National Veterinary Research Institute (NVRI), Vom-Nigeria for confirmatory rabies diagnosis during same period Data on victims including year/month bite, sex victims, age sites retrieved analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results indicated that a total 223 recorded with highest number (40 cases) in...
Data on birth weight of Swamp buffalo calves that were born between 2015 and 2017 collected analyzed for this study. The objective was to estimate the effect heritability evaluate influence environmental factors swamp calves. estimated using parent-offspring regression method while measured linear analysis. average 31.5 ± 5.33kg. It significantly (p<0.05) affected by age dam year but body sex did not (p>0.05) weight. be 0.29, which is low. Therefore, herd management seem play a larger...
An outbreak of a respiratory disease with severe acute syndrome (SARS) – like manifestations emerged in late December 2019 the Wuhan city China. The causative agent this was later identified to be novel Coronavirus. Subsequently, named coronavirus (COVID-19) by World Health Organisation and declared as pandemic. COVID-19 came many misinformation misconceptions about viruses disease. Questions have been asked non - virologists general public what are. Some wondered if are living organisms or...
The Nigerian local turkey has the potential to augment supply of poultry protein in country and across region. However, fecundity breed is low due neglect lack improvement. This work therefore aimed at shedding some light reproductive indices under optimum nutrition. A group fifteen toms nine hens were used this study. males grouped into three groups five placed on varying levels protein, 12% CP, 16% CP 20% for 1, 2 3 respectively. Semen samples collected analysed twice weekly thirteen...
Background: A number of factors are known to reduce fertility rate in animals and one the important categories such is chromosome anomalies. They can occur with or without causing phenotypic abnormalities on animals; some cases, they may directly affect meiosis, gametogenesis viability conceptus. In many instances, balanced structural rearrangements be transmitted offspring, affecting subsequent generations. Aim: This work investigated occurrence aberrations Rusa timorensis, unicolor Axis...
Metaphase production is an important aspect of cytogenetic studies. To achieve acceptable metaphase spreads for study, cells, depending on source animals, require different operating conditions. It therefore necessary to optimize the process produce a protocol, which achieves best result. This study aimed establish growth and arrest requirements cultured Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) from three breeds deer (Axis axis, Rusa timorensis unicolor) using Taguchi design. Twenty-four...
