This review is aimed at providing information on current status of oestrus synchronization as a management tool in goats Nigeria. Oestrus synchronisation reproductive that enables goat farmers breed their animals within short pre-determined period. The principle chiefly the control luteal phase oestrous cycle and two basic mechanisms are employed. These include use prostaglandins or its analogues to shorten life/induce premature luteolysis exogenous progesterone prolong life, thereby...
The seasonal influence on the seminal characteristics of Shikabrown breeder cocks was evaluated weekly during three seasons in Northern Guinea Savannah zone Nigeria. Semen samples were analyzed by gross and routine laboratory methods for volume, motility, concentration, colour, percent dead total abnormality. highest volume concentration values 0.50±0.03ml 3.60±0.16x10 /ml, respectively, obtained from White rainy 9 season, while lowest 0.39±0.01ml 2.90±0.04x10 same strain hot-dry season....
Abstract Alphonsus, c., Akpa, G.N., Oni, O.O., Rekwot, P.I., Barje, P.P. and Yashim, S.M. 2010. Relationship of linear conformation traits with bodyweight, body condition score milk yield in Friesian × Bunaji cows. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 38: 97–100. To study the relationship measurements weight, yields, data 50 (F1) X cows were collected. Analyzed were; stature(ST), chest width(CW), wither height(WH), heart girth(HG), length(BL), depth(BD), rump width(RW), rear udder height(RUH), width(RUW),...
Objectives: The maximum purification of the extracts antidiabetic Anogeissus leiocarpus stem bark led to a quest for its lethal dose (LD50) and effects on pregnancy, gestation, pups (kitten) reproductive performance Wistar rats.
 Design: Extracts A. were subjected column thin layer chromatography until final purification.
 Five (5) each adult male female rats used study. revised limit test 2000mg/kg.bd.wt. was evaluate acute oral toxicity characteristics purified rats. monitored...
Experiments were performed with the aim of investigating effect packing on erythrocyte osmotic fragility (EOF) and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration in donkeys, ascorbic acid (AA). Twelve apparently healthy donkeys raised under traditional extensive system served as experimental subjects. Six administered orally AA (200 mg/kg) subjected to used animals, whilst six others not controls. Blood samples collected pre- post-packing from all for determination MDA EOF. At 0.3% Sodium Chloride...
One hundred and three adult cocks of two different strains (Rhode Island White, 59 semen quality with concomitant effect on Rhode Red, 44) were subjected to weekly collection for four weeks. The White had gross sperm motility 80.76± 1.45% while the value significant effects low relative humidity, high Red is 79.43+1.68% but difference was temperatures, rainfall peak amount insignificant. a higher (P<0.001) concentration (1.93 0.10x10'/ml) than (1.27±0.12x10 /ml) volume (0.58±0.04ml)...
Aim:The study was conducted to evaluate the pathological effects of trypanosomosis on testes, gonadal, and epididymal sperm reserves Yankasa rams for 98 days. Materials Methods:A total 16 rams, aged between 24 30 months weighed 22 25 kg, were acclimatized a period 2-months in clean fly proof house adequately fed given water ad-libitum.Of 12 that clinically fit experiment at end acclimatization randomly divided into four groups: Groups I, II, III, IV, each having 3 rams.Groups I II challenged...
