The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of graded inclusion of prickly pear oil seed cake (PPSC) in sprouted cowpea-maize diets for broilers. Diluent (0%PPSC) sprouted cowpea-maize grower and finisher diets, ...

Semen extenders are chemical mediums used for preserving, and protecting spermatozoa against different shocks while processing, storing and transportation for use in artificial insemination (Raheja et al., 2018). There are ...

A skip a day feeding technique could mitigate the ever-increasing cost of feeds and the undesirable excessive adipose fat. The aim of this study was to determine effect of broiler strain (Ross 308 and Arbor Acres) and ...

In poorly resourced settings, livestock feeding options are often narrowed to the affordable, readily available legume grains, and to their most convenient biological or thermal processing methods. The tolerance of ...

Ruminants and rumen bacteria form a symbiotic relationship. However, because of nitrogen (N) inefficiency, this interdependent relationship loses energy and protein. Strategic feeding of ruminants with diets containing ...

The current high cost and scarcity of the conventional stock feeds, and the predicted long-term impact of climate change on their production are major risks to sustainable animal production in the smallholder sector in ...

In an event of an unexpected death, injury, or inability of a bull to serve, spermatozoa can be harvested from the epididymides to enable the propagation of valuable germplasm from genetically superior males. Recovering ...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the chemical composition, rumen degradability and in-vitro ileal digestibility of dry matter (DM) and nitrogen (N) in Ficus polita and Ficus benjamina leaves for optimum utilisation as ...

One of the ways to minimise cost and promote health in humans and animals is to use natural feed additives instead of antibiotics. Moringa oleifera (Moringa) is a phytobiotic which possess anti-microbial and immune-modulatory ...

The study evaluated the nutritive value of orange pulp- buffalo grass (OPBG) silage as a po-tential pig feed. In experiment 1, OPBG was ensiled in 58 one-litre jars, split into Reno-zyme® enzymes (containing α-amylases and ...
