ABSTRACT: The scarcity of information on porcine leptospirosis in Zaria and areas of Kaduna State led to this study, in order to detect antibodies to Leptospira in pigs, and to isolate Leptospira from pigs in Kaduna state Nigeria. The methodologies involved serological survey using competitive Enzyme Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay (cELISA). Five hundred (500) porcine blood (whole blood) samples were collected for serology. The percentage distribution of antibodies to Leptospira detected using C - ELISA was 75 (15.83. This study showed that antibodies to Leptospira are present in pigs in Kaduna state, Nigeria. Based on the findings of this study, recommendations are; proper hygienic handling of pigs and porcine raw materials in farms, households, markets, teaching hospitals and abattoirs, by personnel like veterinarians, farmers, butchers, sewer workers, pork meat consumers that are at high risk of contracting leptospirosis. There is need for public health awareness and education on prevention /control of leptospirosis, as the disease is of great public health significance.

ABSTRACT: The study was conducted on 30 goat foetuses (Capra hircus) of all three age groups. As studies revealed Goat skin contains intense network of collagen and elastic fibres making a compact and a peculiar arrangement. After reporting the genesis on histochemical ground , TEM(Transmission Electron Microscope) analysis has been done to get the magnified images of histogenesis. The genesis and growth of skin fibres (collagen, elastic & reticulin) in all three foetal age groups shows a specific pattern in which the fibres originate in specific fetal age and grow up in a peculiar mode up to a precise age of late foetal group, after it build up fully the structural changes can be seen in fibrous tissue with further growth. Advance method carried out with the TEM study in which we find magnificent apparent images of various regions (10 CRL, to 40 CRL samples) and explicate the histological & developing stages of fibres clearly.

ABSTRACT: In general, feeding of silk worms (Tubifex sp.) for catfish larvae aged 5 days to 10 days is done by chopped it first into small part. It is intended that the catfish larvae can utilize silk worms with more leverage, because the mouth opening catfish larvae are still small. Treatment of silk worm chopped is not impossible also cause other problems, some problems that can be caused, among others: (1) The loss of nutrients contained in the body mass worm due to dissolve into the water; (2) Water quality degradation is caused by pollution from silk worm organic material that begins to decompose. Therefore it is necessary a study of how big the effect of silk worm feed given intact compared to that provided with the first chopped..............

ABSTRACT: The red palm weevil (RPW) is the major pest of palms in the Mediterranean region. One of the most interesting control solutions for this pest is endotherapy, comprising injections of biologically active substances directly into the stem of the palm. The objective of the present work was to study the ovicidal and adulticidal properties of two neonicotinoid insecticides (clothianidin and thiamethoxam) under laboratory conditions, to obtain evidence for application of endotherapy in the control of RPW infestations. Our results show that both commercial compounds display a dose-dependent action and exhibit different modes of action: clothianidin is more rapid in its action, but in general is less effective for control of the adult stages, while thiamethoxam is more effective, but its action requires longer to show efficacy. The eggs are much less sensitive to treatments, especially for clothianidin..

ABSTRACT: A feeding trial was conducted to assess the replacement value of yam Discorea rotundata peel as a dietary replacement for guinea corn meal in the diet of Clarias gariepinus. All 5 diets were prepared to be iso-caloric diets. (35% crude protein). Yam Peel Meal (YPM) were used to replace Guinea Corn Meal (GCM) at the rate of 0% (YPM 1), 25% (YPM 2), 50% (YPM 3), 75% (YPM 4), and 100% (YPM 5). The performance of the varying levels of yam peel meal-based were compared to fish fed guinea corn meal-based control diet containing 35% crude protein while guinea corn meal itself has 10.80% crude protein. Ten (10) Clarias gariepinus fingerling per replicate with mean body weight of 13+-29g were stocked. The fingerling were fed at 5% of their body weight per day for 56 days. The was no significant difference (P>0.05) in the Mean Weight Gain (MWG), Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), but there was significant in the Specific Growth Rate (SGR). The highest (MWG) was recorded in...........
