ABSTRACT: A study conducted from 2009-2011 on soils in the Mumias sugar zone of western Kenya involved the determination of dry bulk density (BD), moisture content (MC) and porosity (P) in 31 sites. Bulk density varied from site to site ranging from 1.46 g/cm3 to 1.81 g/ cm3; BD was generally higher in the 30-60 cm layer than in the 0-30 cm layer. Soil moisture content varied from one sampling site to another ranging from 17.8 – 37.5 %. Soils were drier in the top 0-30 cm layer than in the lower 30-60 cm layer. Average porosity ranged from 31.9% - 44.5%. Porosity, being inversely related to BD was highest in areas with least BD. Porosity was generally
higher in the top soil 0-30 cm layer than in the lower 30-60 cm soil layer. This study demonstrated that the sugarcane production practices in Mumias had.........

ABSTRACT: The large network of fungal hyphae from arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi which spreads from mycorrhizal roots into the surrounding soil, affects the physico-chemical characteristics of soils and represents stabilizing agents in the formation and maintenance of soil structure. The objective of this work was to evaluate the glomalin related soil protein (GRSP) content, the GRSP / Organic carbon ratio (GRSP / Cox) and soil aggregates mean weight diameter (MWD). A mensurative test was carried out in Carlos Casares, province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, with sixteen Entic Hapludoll soils used in livestock production. The content of GRSP was positively correlated with the content of Cox (R2= 0.60). GRSP / Cox ratio decreases as Cox increases (R2 0.71), increasing the recalcitrant carbon proportion (GRSP) as the soil carbon decreases. The MWD of soil aggregates correlated positively with the GRSP content (R2 0.59).

ABSTRACT: This study was carried out to identify common protozoan parasites associated with African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) from three different cultured ponds. All the fish parts from the three selected ponds in Ibadan North Local Government Area were infected with protozoan parasites. A total of forty five (45) Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) were examined for protozoan parasites infestation from three different ponds in Ibadan North Local Government Area of Oyo state. The parts of the fish that were examined are gills, skin, intestine and fins. In all, 6 different protozoan parasites were isolated from the fish samples examined. These were Ichthyobodo spp., Ichthyophthirius multifilis, Trichodina spp., Ambiphyta spp., Crytobian iubilans and Chilodonella spp. Ichthyobodo spp. and.........

ABSTRACT: Fresh cassava peels were collected, fermented for four days and sundried for 3-5 days. It was ground and used to compound maize replaced grower and finisher diets. A group of 27 weaner gilts (Largewhite x Duroc), aged 8 weeks and weighed 10.61±0.27kg were fed the diets. The weaner gilts were allotted to three treatments comprising T1 (control), T2 (fermented CPM) and T3 (fermented CPM + maxigrainR enzyme) in a completely randomized design. The diets were given at 4% of their live body weights daily throughout the experiment. At 20 weeks of age, three gilts per treatment were selected and watched for symptoms of heat which were scored using a scale of 1 - 4.......

ABSTRACT: Les résidus de culture jouent un rôle important dans l'alimentation des ruminants, et leur commercialisation prend de plus en plus de l'ampleur dans la communauté urbaine de Niamey. Cependant, ces résidus de culture sont diverses et présentés sous différentes formes de conditionnement. Pour évaluer la disponibilité et les caractéristiques physiques des résidus de cultures utilisées en alimentation des ruminants domestiques à Niamey, un échantillon de 93 acteurs dont 33 grossistes/semi grossistes ; 41 vendeurs revendeurs et 19 vendeurs ambulants a été enquêté et suivi selon les saisons. Il ressort de cette étude, que la quasi-totalité des acteurs sont de sexe masculin. Plus de 45% des acteurs ont un âge compris entre 40 et 60 ans. Les acteurs d'ethnie Haoussa sont majoritaires......

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to examine factors affecting the efficiency of sago marketing in Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The study was undertaken in Konawe District, which is the main sago producing district in the province. All 26 sago processor groups that were operating in the area were taken as respondents. Data and information were collected using a questionnaire-based interview method and analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The number of traders and population size had a significant effect on marketing efficiency. Total production, the percentage of produce marketed, market distance, and frequency of selling did not have a significant effect on the marketing efficiency. Increasing the price of sago starch to increase farmers and processors' income can be done further by improving the quality of sago starch, attractive packaging, and introducing market standards as the basis for sorting and grading..
