ABSTRACT: An experiment which lasted for two months was conducted to evaluate the haematological indices and body weight changes of rabbits fed with Chromolaena odorata leaf meal (COLM), 48 rabbits consisting of 27 males and 21 females and of mixed breeds, aged 6-8 weeks and weighing 400 - 800 g were randomized into four experimental diets groups of 0, 10, 20, and 30% in a completely randomized design. Each treatment was replicated 4 times with three rabbits per replicate. Samples of blood were collected monthly from the ear vein of the rabbits for haematological studies and the growth study was determined using a weighing scale. Among all the haematological parameters evaluated in this...........

ABSTRACT: Hematological parameters, serum biochemistry and antioxidant capacity of 125 broilers (4 weeks of age) were assessed in other to study the effect of Zingiberofficinale (Ginger), Piper nigrum (Black Pepper) and Vitamin C as feed additives in their diet. Ginger, Black pepper and Vitamin C powder were administered at the level of 50g/10kg of feed. The broilers were randomly allotted to five treatments:T1 (no antioxidant), T2 (0.5% ginger powder), T3 (0.5% black pepper powder), T4 (0.25% ginger+ 0.25% black pepper), T5 (0.5% Vitamin C) in a completely randomized design. The results obtained showed that PCV (%), Hb(g/dl), MCV(fl), MCH (pg), MCHC (%), RBC(x106/mm3)and platelets (x103/μl) were not.............

ABSTRACT: A study was conducted on Elongated green stripe and Large white varieties of garden egg (Solanum melongena L.) during the 2015 cropping season at the Teaching and Research Farm of the University of Agriculture Makurdi. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of stage of fruit harvesting and after-ripening on the seed quality of garden egg. The design used for the experiment was Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Flowers of both varieties were tagged at anthesis to determine the age of the fruits at each harvest stage. Fruits of the two varieties were harvested at three harvest stages named: about to ripen (AR), fully ripened (FR) and over-ripened (OR) stages. Seed extraction.............

ABSTRACT: The aortic arch persistence is one of the most commons vascular malformation in dogs, in particular on the lagers breeds. This problem avoids the solid food to go normally through the esophagus manifesting, clinically, through regurgitations and delay in the growing observed after the weaning. The objective of this report was to highlight the importance of the premature radiographic diagnostic in the aortic arch persistence for the patience survival.

ABSTRACT: Efficient utilization of rainfall water may increase the agricultural production many folds. Though the nature of rainfall is erratic and varies with time and space, yet it is possible to predict design rainfall fairly accurately for certain return periods using various probability distribution functions. The annual maximum rainfall at Bijnor District was 1746.472 mm, 1768.998mm, 1383.958mm, 1741mm for predicted annual maximum rainfall and observed annual maximum rainfall respectively. It is clearly indicates the Gumbel distribution was very near to the observed annual maximum rainfall and predicted annual maximum rainfall (mm).

ABSTRACT: In Lombok, eastern Indonesia, vertisols is one of the potential soil types for production of food crops, especially rice, and off season cash crops on raised beds. However, it has some physical limitations, such as unstable soil structure which results in slumping beds. Previous research has proven that if vertisols could perform a permanent Raised Bed (PRB), then this PRB system was a favorable media for crop production, as well as the best technique in alleviating impact of water scarcity in the areas. This research aimed to examine potential use of soil amendments i.e. application.........

ABSTRACT: A field experiment was conducted at research station of College of Agriculture University of Baghdad in Abu-Griab. The aim was to study early generation of cowpea under water stress regime. The purpose was to identify which genotypes have high yield under water deficit. The experiment consisted of two levels of water deficit (50 and 75%) and three progenies selected and original cultivars. Randomized complete block design (RCBD) within split plots arrangement with three replicates in two seasons of 2013 were used. The results revealed that progeny3 gave highest mean in chlorophyll index and78.8 SPAD in spring and autumn season respectively. In addition to, theprogeny3 had.........
