African wild suids consist of several endemic species that represent ancient members the family Suidae and have colonized diverse habitats on continent. However, limited genomic resources for hinder our understanding their evolution genetic diversity. In this study, we assembled high-quality genomes a common warthog (Phacochoerus africanus), red river hog (Potamochoerus porcus), as well an East Asian Diannan small-ear pig (Sus scrofa). Phylogenetic analysis showed diverged from ancestor...
Forty-seven hybrid progenies from crossbreeding between the Nigerian indigenous pig (NIP) and Large white pigs were used. Body measurements live weight recorded weekly first week of birth to their weaning date. taken Weight (BW), Length (BL), Height (BH), Heart girth (HG) Rump circumference (RC) crossbred progenies. The correlation reproductive parameters growth performance established with good management practice. mean for was 6.72 ± 0.02, 0.91 0.13, litter size at 5.36 1.87, 5.29 1.97,...
The history of pig populations in Africa remains controversial due to insufficient evidence from archaeological and genetic data. Previously, a Western ancestry for West African pigs was reported based on loci that are involved the determination coat color. We investigated diversity Nigerian indigenous (NIP) by simultaneously analyzing variation mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), Y-chromosome sequence melanocortin receptor 1 (MC1R) gene. Median-joining network analysis mtDNA D-loop sequences 201 NIP...
Pigs play a major role in socioeconomic life of the people; it serves as source income for rural population and fulfill important culture food security. Fifty-one weaners were randomly selected at 9, 17 25 weeks age analysis. Blood from jugular vein was taken to laboratory The leaukocyte parameters used this study White blood cell count (WBC), Lymphocyte (LYM) count, Neutrophil (NEU) Eosinophil (EOS) Monocyte (MON) count) Platelet (PLT) count. Data collected on these subjected Analysis...
African swine fever (ASF) is a contagious viral disease that affects domestic pigs and wild boars, causing significant economic losses globally. After the first Nigerian outbreak in 1997, there have been frequent reports of ASF pig-producing regions country. To facilitate control, it important to understand genotype phylogenetic relationship viruses (ASFVs). Recent genetic analysis ASFV isolates has revealed presence both genotypes I II; this based on few selected genes. Phylogenetic whole...
This work studied the chromosomal structure of Nigerian indigenous pig (NIP). The karyotype was obtained and a detailed karyogram constructed. Using sixty-two metaphases NIP from both mature male female leucocytes culture, studied. based on chromosome’s relative length, centromere position arm (p/q) ratio. cells had usual diploid complement 38 chromosomes (2n = 38) a nombre fondamental of 64 as in exotic. characterized by submetacentric chromosome pairs 1 – 7; metacentric 8 to 12 telocentric...
This study investigated the corrosion resistance of plated and unplated steels useful as ornamentals in saline environment. Nickel plating carbon steel was done watts solution for 25minutes with a current density 3 Adm<SUP>-3</SUP> at 60<SUP>o</SUP>C. The nickel later gold 20 minutes 0.2 50<SUP>o</SUP>C . were immersed environment 360 hours. Weight loss taken every 24 hours order to evaluate penetration rate (CPR). results obtained showed that generally offers better than one.Corrosion is...
This work investigated the presence of African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) in Nigerian Indigenous Pig (NIP) using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) screening method on extracted DNA from pig blood. NIP population selected south western Nigeria were used for this study. ASFV infected blood samples collected University Ibadan as positive control. Adiscrete and specific band was observed both show NIP. The bands expected size 278 base pairs (bp). implication finding is that NIPs have domiciled...
This work investigated on the presence of African swine fever virus (ASFV) in Nigerian Indigenous pig (NIP), its hybrid and backcross using Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) screening method extracted DNA haematological from these bloods. Pig populations selected Southwestern Nigeria were used for this study. ASFV infected blood samples collected University Ibadan as positive control. White cell count was significantly highest (31.27 ± 1.79 × 103/μl) higher (27.71 2.01 compared with NIP (18.16...
Thermodynamic data is made use of in calculating fraction metal solidified solidifcation simulation.However, thermodynamic for many industrial alloys their solidification ranges are not available most practicing engineers.It thus desirable to develop reliable equations that can be used simulation.This work has developed an equation calculate AlSi7Mg alloy solidifying under fast cooling conditions using generated values from data.
The classical genes are a member of immunoglobulin gene family that is involved in the presentation antigen peptides. They located every nucleated cell surface, except neurons and trophoblasts. synthesized infected (viral infection), binding to viral proteins giving rise Swine Leucocyte Antigen (SLA) I- complex. In study, SLA class I Nigerian pigs with from Kenya along archived sequences Asia American available on Genbank gain better understanding matrilineal origin Kenyan pigs. Gain insight...
Abstract This study examined genetic variations among indigenous and commercial pigs in Southwestern Nigeria. Sixty (60) individuals including Nigerian (NIP) (n = 25), exotic crosses between the 10) were genotyped based on eight microsatellite markers. The mean number of alleles (Na) observed overall population three populations was 3.63 ± 0.36. Allele frequency ranged from 0.00 to 1.00 39 obtained within population. Other allele results interpretation for loci across polymorphic except...
Engineering research is a sine-qua-non for development of new products, production processes, hence lines in the quest self reliance any economy.Modeling and simulation veritable tool such development.This paper presents multifaceted use modeling as decision tools engineering facet an economy drawing examples from two different disciplines-Metallurgical Civil.
Suidae family consisting, domestic pig, warthog and babyrousa are identified with even hooves snout nose. They have been reported to be tolerant African swine fever virus (ASFV) the exception of pig. Domestic pig is valuable for humans as a source protein all over world, but more susceptible this disease. ASFV has found in bush Five candidate genes, RELA, PPP3CB, PPIA, NFKBIA, NFATC1 suggested responsible genetic variation between components family, which may contribute species-specific...
RELA gene is a pleiotropic transcription that present in almost all living cells where several signal transduction events end points were initiated by many arrays of stimuli related to biological processes such as inflammation, immunity, differentiation, cell growth, tumorigenesis and apoptosis the cells. The nucleotide amino acid sequence (AAS) pig other mammalian species downloaded from National Center for Biotechnology information (NCBI) data base, United State America Universal protein...
Pig plays a major role in socio economical by serving as source of income for rural population and fulfilling an important culture food security. Neutrophillymphocyte ratio (NLR) can be defined the absolute neutrophil count to lymphocyte count. Fifty-one weaners were randomly selected at 9, 17 25 weeks age haematological analysis. Blood from jugular veins these pigs collected into anti-coagulant bottles taken laboratory The blood parameters leukocyte traits represented neutrophilic (NEU %)...
