ABSTRACT: Biodiversity study in cotton ecosystem is very important to understand species composition of agriculturally important arthropods which mediate or regulate a variety of functions essential for plant growth and productivity, soil resource structure and ecosystem health. In order to study biodiversity of soil surface arthropods in Bt and non-Bt cotton ecosystems an attempt was made from July 2016 to February 2017 in three seasons in farmers Bt and non-Bt cotton fields. The results indicated that arthropods were recorded from 8 insect orders besides spiders and millepods. A total of 138 individuals in Bt cotton, 309 individuals in non-Bt cotton field were recorded by using pitfall traps. Arthropods collected from twenty one species in Bt and twenty five species in non-Bt cotton fields were........

ABSTRACT: Nocardiaspecies have a complex cell wall structure similar to that of mycobacteria, and the extraction of DNA from this bacterium is extremely difficult. Currently, to identify Nocardiaspecies particularly, it is essential to utilize molecular techniques. Amis: In the present Study we investigated STETbuffer(SoduimCholride –TRIS-EDTA –Triton )for extraction of Genomic DNA from 20 soil samples and from 300 milk samples of drily animalsto detect the presence of Nocardiaand Nocardia- like species in these samples. Materials and Methods: The study subjects included 300milk samples and 20 soil samples from different farms in Khartoum State, which include HilatKoko, Ghandahar, Al SilateandAlmuaileh. Distribution of the enrolled milk samples was as follows; 100..........

ABSTRACT: The study was carried out to assess colony absconds and how it affects production of honey in Ondo State, Nigeria.A multistage sampling technique was used to collect the data from 90 beekeepers in six Local Government Areas across the three ecological zones in the State. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. The results indicated that majority (90%) of the respondents owned less than 120 hives for honeybee rearing, while 93.43% produced below 300litres of honey per cropping season. The result further revealed that the main perceived causes of colony absconds were Pest/parasite invasion, Nutritional problem from non-availability of nectar, Fire/smoke disturbance, Incessant disturbance/ poor apiary maintenance, and Unfavorable..........

ABSTRACT: Egusi is one of the crops of regional importance in West Africa because it is an important export commodity.It is mostly infected with aflatoxigenic species of Aspergillus flavus whichproduces carcinogenic aflatoxins. There are many close relatives of egusi which are characterized based on the seed type and seed coat colour. No studies have been conducted to compare the production of aflatoxins in different types of melon which are consumed in Nigeria. This study was undertaken to determine the occurrence of A. flavus and aflatoxins in different types of egusi kernels. Six types of egusi present in each Southwestern Nigerian state were sampled. Approximately ½k g of162 samples of the different egusi typeswere purchased twice in 2012 and 2013 from selected traders and taken to the laboratory for aflatoxin analysis, Aspergillus isolationand identification.Aflatoxin concentration..........

ABSTRACT: The result of this research shows the time allocated by woman household divided into domestic activities, productive activities, and social activities. For workerswoman, the time allocated for domestic activities and social activities is lower than unworkers woman because workerswoman will allocate her time for productive activities.The differences time between workers women and unworkers women in each activity occurs because workers woman tend to use their time to the fullest.This is because workers woman must allocate their time in one day for all activities, while......

ABSTRACT: Rabies is a viral disease with a high mortality rate caused by a neurotropic virus that is capable of infecting all mammals. In many developed countries, the primary vectors for the rabies virus are the wild animals. In Turkey, on the other hand, the disease is mostly dog-mediated, and it has been reported that more than 70% of the rabies cases in Turkey were caused by dogs. In this study, the aim was to retrospectively evaluate the epidemiology of the rabies cases encountered in the Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia regions between 2010 and 2015 based on the virus isolations and laboratory diagnoses. The animal material of the study consists of 37 wildlife animals (wolves, foxes, weasels, badgers) diagnosed with rabies brought to Elazığ Veterinary Control Institute from the Eastern.........

ABSTRACT: There is a strong link between food, agriculture, nutrition and development. Food is a product of agriculture while the knowledge, proper utilization of food nutrients and the processes nutrients undergo in sustaining life of an individual is based on nutrition. Apart from social and economic factors, food nutrients can also be influenced by agricultural practices, posing the agronomist with additional challenge of managing environmental impacts on the quantity and quality of food nutrients during cultivation in other to achieve healthy foods. Good nutrition is capable of improving people's physical and mental development, even their capacity to learn, work and exhibit their full potentials as human beings. On the other hand, development is seen as a process that builds on itself and involves all round changes especially from individuals, social and economic aspects. Food system, social.........

ABSTRACT: There is a strong role of natural resources in driving the economy of South Kalimantan Province, namely mining-quarrying and agriculture. But in 2016-2021 South Kalimantan Province's Regional Medium-Term Development Plan (Rencana Pembangunan JangkaMenengah Daerah-RPJMD) shows that the government prioritizes the development of agriculture and agro-industry rather than mining. More specifically the agricultural sub-sector is the plantation, which has direct linkage with agro-industry. This study aims to identify the potential of the South Kalimantan region according to the regency/ municipality, so there will be identified as superior and unseeded.......

ABSTRACT: In the milk activity, the problems that affect the reproductive tract of postpartum females such as retention of placenta, metritis and endometrites, cause great losses, such as decrease on milk production, drug expenses, milk discharge and low reproductive performance, are generally related to the animal's systemic immune status. For this reason, several products are indicated as immunostimulators or immunopotentiators in pre-calving cows. In this work, two groups of bovine, Jersey andHolstein females were tested for the immunostimulatory activity of Levamisole, a parasite control drug that has on its properties an increase in the immune response in animals.
