ABSTRACT: A survey was carried out to study the treatment seeking behaviour of Fulani pastoralists in Rigasa, Doka mai Jama'a, Karuga, Jakaranda, Tudun Wadan Rido, and Babban Saura. 75 questionnaires was prepared and distributed to pastoralists and all of them were subsequently filled and returned. 90.7% of respondents treat their livestock without consulting a veterinary Doctor, they believe that the explanation they gave drug vendors sometimes back and the treatment they gave can be repeated without consulting any professional. Only 4% contact veterinary doctors and the herd of these few that consult veterinary doctors appear healthier. However, a third group of respondents (5.3%) consult veterinary drug vendors, this group consist mainly of people who think veterinary drug vendors are veterinary doctors and as such they believe they are getting the right treatment.

ABSTRACT: This paper emanates from a study that was carried out to assess smallholder farmers' adaptive capacity to climate change effects in Busia County. Qualitative and quantitative data was collected from 376 respondents selected using multistage and simple random sampling techniques. Six determinants (financial, social, knowledge and information, institutions and flexible decision making) of adaptive capacity to climate change were assessed using a five point Likert scale. Findings indicated a moderate (2.65) adaptive capacity among smallholder farmers in Busia County. Low adaptive capacity was indicated in financial/economic resources (2.4), but moderate in knowledge/information (2.5), social (2.8), technology and innovation (2.7), institutional (2.8) and informed farming decision making resources. Therefore, low financial and economic resources limit ability to plan, prepare for, facilitate..........

ABSTRACT: The paper studied the influence of the extrusion saccharification parameters on filtration speed of hydrolyzed extrudates of degermed corn with amylase. Experimental data was analyzed using SAS 9.1 and obtained the optimized parameters. The parameters were shown below: the additive amount of thermostable α-amylase during extrusion was 0.80L/t, the screw rotation speed was 140r/min, the additive amount of thermostable α-amylase during liquefying was 0.60L/t, liquefaction time was 20.0min, additive amount of glucoamylase during saccharifying was1.50L/t. The process of extruded degermed corn added thermostable α-amylase to make glucose syrup was feasible which provide theoretical basis for industrialization in glucose syrup production.

ABSTRACT: Reproductive disorders have been recognized in animal African trypanosomiasis since 19th century. The damages caused by trypanosomes have direct or indirect link to some specific organs like endocrine and pituitary gland which secrets follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), interstitial-cell stimulating hormone (ICSH) and growth hormone (GH). These hormones play an important role in the spermatogenic cycle in males and oestrus cycle in females. However, the pathogenesis of these damages has not been clearly elucidated. We believe that this aspect deserves closer study especially in livestock where reproductive performance is the cornerstone of productivity. It is hoped that this review which is centered on the chronological report of works that has been carried out on some reproductive organs damage in selected domestic ruminants infected with trypanosomes will add more light to the pathophysiology of these organs.

ABSTRACT: The prevalence of trypanosomiasis in cattle was conducted between January and February 2016 in 6 selected communities of 5 Local Government Areas (LGA) in the north, south and central parts of Kaduna state, north-west, Nigeria. The objective is to assess the current prevalence rate and the trypanosome species involved. Parasitological evaluation and packed cell volume (PCV %) estimate were carried out on randomly selected cattle. 352 blood samples were collected and screened using buffy coat technique. Trypanosomes infection prevalence of 3.98% was established due to 14 infections recorded from the 352 cattle screened. The predominant trypanosome species encountered was Trypanosoma congolense, 10 (78.6%) while 4 (21.4%) was due to T. brucei. The overall average PCV recorded during the study was 28.5%. The average PCV of infected animals (21.8%) appeared lower than that of uninfected (25.0%) although, it was statistically insignificant (P> 0.05).

ABSTRACT: A survey was carried out to study the current knowledge, attitude and perception of Fulani pastoralists on Animal African Trypanosomiasis in Giwa, Kubau and Kudan Local Government Areas of Kaduna State. 80% of pastoralists in Giwa and 60% in Kubau and Kudan had knowledge of animal trypanosomiasis. Also in Giwa 80% recognizes the animals that are likely to be affected by the disease, 60% in kudan and 40% in Kubau. In Kubau 60% uses traditional medicine for the treatment of the disease, 50% in Giwa and 30% in Kudan. 80% of the pastoralists in Kubau knew the mode of transmission of the disease then 60% in Giwa and 20% in Kudan.

ABSTRACT: Tsetse flies are vectors of African trypanosomes which causes Trypanosomiasis, in man and animals. A preliminary survey on the presence of tsetse flies was conducted in 6 selected communities of 5 local government areas (LGA) of Kaduna state. Biconical tsetse traps were deployed in suitable habitats while prevailing temperature, relative humidity and geographical coordinates were recorded using whirling hygrometer and Geographical position system (GPS) monitor. A total of 45 tsetse flies were caught from 2 communities which were morphologically identified as Glossina palpalis palpalis. (21(46.7%) and 24(53.3%) males and females respectively), indicating an apparent..........

ABSTRACT: The aim of the research is to identify the potentiality of vegetation to improve chemical soils element in the disposal soil after mining activity in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. The experiment was done by establishing plots observation by 4 x 10 m which are set up at disposal land with the length slopes 35 meter and the high of slope was 12 meter. Four plant species namely Desmodium adscendens, Pueraria phaseloides, Centrosema pubescens and Alopogonium mucunoides was planted in the experimental plots The observation was done systematically in order to identify the chemical characteristic of soils. Result of the study shows that ground cover in disposal soils in post mining............
