Pig slaughtering methods influence the quality of pig products and also serves as a critical point for control zoonosis other food-borne infections. This study aimed at assessing peculiarities, animal welfare concerns public health implications activities was conducted on three major abattoirs in Southwestern Nigeria.Information pre-slaughter handling, carcass processing were obtained by observation over continuous 2-week period normal abattoir each authors. Structured questionnaires...
Gastric lesions, especially ulceration, cause significant economic losses in the swine industry worldwide. The study was designed to assess its prevalence, distribution and pattern pigs south-western Nigeria. Slaughter house surveys were conducted on three government-established abattoirs Lagos, Ogun Oyo states. Stomachs from 480 assessed for gross which graded using a modification of standard technique. Tissues different regions stomach routinely stained histopathologic changes. Data...
Abstract Objective To identify some predisposing and risk factors of gastric lesions in pigs Southwestern Nigeria. Methods Pre-slaughter animal assessment post-slaughter stomach evaluation were conducted on presented for slaughter three major abattoirs The assessed included characteristics, environmental management infection. gross encountered 480 stomachs graded using standard technique. Stomach contents subjected to parasitological studies while tissue sections used histopathology...
Information on the occurrence of gastric lesions in pigs Ghana is lacking literature. This study was designed as a preliminary investigation to determine and pattern lesion Ghana. Ante-mortem animal assessment post-slaughter stomach evaluation were conducted 75 out total 694 slaughtered between October, 2014 March, 2015 at Kumasi abattoir. The gross observed mucosa graded using standard technique. Stomach contents assessed tissue sections used for histopathology evaluation. data obtained...
Abstract This study was conducted to determine the gastrointestinal and ectoparasites infecting white-bellied pangolins ( Phataginus tricuspis ) retrieved from trade in southwest Nigeria. Twenty-one (21) were screened this study. Faecal samples collected analysed using centrifugal flotation simple faecal sedimentation techniques. Ectoparasites under scales ventral parts of animals. Data descriptive statistics with some presented as mean standard deviations. Eighteen (18) (85.7%) infected...
Outbreaks of African Swine Fever (ASF) have severe economic implications for Nigeria and result in significant loss livelihoods. The non-availability vaccines makes biosecurity the reliable key to reducing ASF outbreaks. This study evaluated preparedness outbreaks at farm level among 247 pig farmers randomly selected from Abia, Akwa-Ibom, Edo, Kwara, Oyo states. We categorized each farmer's rating (ASF - PR) as "poor", "moderate", "satisfactory" based on their score an 11-item scale....
Background: Staphylococcus aureus, particularly methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), has emerged as a leading antimicrobial-resistant pathogen challenging global health systems and antibiotic therapy. Pigs have been identified important reservoirs for livestock-associated MRSA. The major concern with MRSA occurrence in pigs is the potential human transmission. Reports on prevalence sensitivity pattern of methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) strains Nigeria are still limited, hence, need this...
White-bellied pangolins (Phataginus tricuspis) rescued from trade in North-central and South-western Nigeria by the Pangolin Conservation Guild were evaluated for morphometric characteristics this study. Pangolins rehabilitated put two age groupings defined their total body length: Juvenile (≤75 cm) Adult (>75 cm). Sex, rectal temperature, Body Weight (BW) recorded. Morphometric parameters which included; Total Length (TBL), Snout (SL), Head (HL), (HBL), Tail (TL), Neck Circumference (NC),...
Abstract African swine fever (ASF), a highly fatal haemorrhagic viral disease of domestic pigs has been ravaging industries in affected countries. Effective management this malady is hamstrung by lack protective vaccines. A cost-effective avenue to develop potent ASF vaccines harnessing immunoinformatic tools construct multi-epitope broad spectrum subunit vaccine. Therefore, CD8 + T-cell, CD4 B-cell and IFN-γ epitopes the virus major coat protein p72, CD2 homologue (CD2v) C-type lectin-like...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the prescribing trend gentamicin in dogs by veterinarians Nigeria. A retrospective and cross-sectional survey done six geopolitical zones About 150 questionnaires were administered practicing licensed within areas addressing issues such as pattern, indications, dosage regimen, therapeutic monitoring, efficacy adverse effects dogs. Data obtained checked for its completeness analyzed using Microsoft office Excel 2007. Gentamicin had highest...
Abstract Background Bacterial pathogens are the causative agents of some most serious disease problems in cultured fish causing mortalities and severe economic losses. This study was conducted to determine occurrence characterization Proteus mirabilis from infected farmed African catfish Ogun State, Nigeria. Methodology: The bacteria were isolated diseased ( Clarias gariepinus , n = 128) with clinical signs skin haemorrhages, ulceration, ascites purposively sampled farms within three...
Helicobacter suis mainly colonizes the stomach of pigs and occasionally infects humans. It is a prevalent cause gastritis gastric ulcers in both species. This study was designed to determine colonization rate H. Nigeria. Pig slaughter house surveys were conducted mucosa samples collected from fundus total 160 four locations Nigeria (Lagos, Delta, Enugu Plateau States). In each location, 50% stomachs with ulceration fundus, while rest those no gross lesions. DNA extracted PCR assay using...
Radiography is an important clinical diagnostic tool in any Veterinary establishment and especially for a tertiary institution. It however limited by lack of functional equipment staff. This study attempts to assess the challenges faced Radiology Unit Surgery Clinic enumerate distribution cases at veterinary centre between August 2016 June 2017. All referred unit within period were accessed (n=52). 26 selected based on inclusion criteria which radiography request from clinician actual return...
Background: Gastric ulceration has been identified as a significant problem affecting pigs worldwide causing economic losses and is of welfare concern. Limited information was available on the awareness farmers gastric ulcers exposure to some predisposing factors. This study sought fill this gap. Methods: Data were collected from 148 registered pig in 12 local government areas Oyo state using structured questionnaires. On-site assessment farms’ facilities management practices done determine...
Hypertension is the leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Uncontrolled hypertension causes end organ damage resulting in hypertensive cardiomyopathy nephropathy. P. americana root extract (PARE) commonly used management Nigeria traditional medicine. In this study, we investigated modulatory effects PARE on L‐NAME induced hypertension, oxidative stress cardio‐renal complications Sixty male rats (wistar strain) were they randomly divided into six experimental groups with ten...
We analysed the trend, patterns, and correlates of ten major crimes among Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Ondo State. The number reported from 2007 to 2016 were used assess trend crimes, while 2010 18 LGAs for analysis spatiotemporal distribution pattern crimes. murders, rape indecent assault, pretense/cheating, breach public peace, kidnapping forgery increased burglary armed robbery declined. Akure South, West, North, Ilaje had highest Nearly all exhibited a random distributional except...
