Abstract

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the effect of mixed cropping of maize (Zea mays) with pinto peanut (Arachis pintoi) on the nutrient content of maize grain and straw. A randomized group design (RGD) was employed with five treatments and three replications. The treatments consisted of P0 (100% maize), P1 (80% maize + 20% legume), P2 (50% maize + 50% legume), P3 (20% maize + 80% legume), and P4 (100% legume). The parameters observed included crude protein, neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and acid detergent fiber (ADF) content of maize grain and straw. Analysis of variance revealed that mixed cropping had no significant effect (P>0.05) on the nutritional composition of both maize grain and straw. In conclusion, intercropping maize with Arachis pintoi does not significantly influence the nutritional quality of maize under the conditions of this study. Keywords: Arachis pintoi, maize feed, mixed cropping, production

Abstract

Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) in pigs remains inefficient, mainly due to incomplete nuclear reprogramming of donor cells. Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have been proposed as promising nuclear donors, but their developmental competence in porcine SCNT is unclear. This study compared the in vitro developmental ability of embryos reconstructed with porcine embryonic fibroblasts (PEFs) or porcine iPS (piPS) cells. Developmental rates, total and epiblast cell numbers were assessed in SCNT, in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and parthenogenetic activation (PA) embryos. The effect of oocyte activation status on piPS-derived SCNT embryos was also examined. Expression of well-known pluripotency transcription factor genes OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, c-MYC, and KLF4 were quantified by quantitative Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Results showed cleavage and blastocyst formation rates of piPS-derived embryos (55.0% and 14.6%) were comparable to PEF-derived SCNT, IVF, and ICSI, while PA embryos showed significantly higher rates (67.8% and 44.5%). Non-activated oocytes yielded higher development than activated ones. Blastocyst cell numbers were similar across groups; however, SCNT embryos contained fewer epiblast cells than IVF and PA. qRT-PCR showed markedly reduced OCT4, comparable SOX2, NANOG, and c-MYC, and higher KLF4 in NT and PA embryos than IVF. The results conclude that piPS cells can serve as nuclear donors but do not improve cloning efficiency compared with fibroblasts. Aberrant lineage allocation and dysregulated gene expression suggest incomplete reprogramming, highlighting the need for improved piPS quality. Key words: induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), pig, nuclear transfer

Abstract

The study was designed to determine the effects of feeding graded levels of Adansonia digitata (Tebaldi) seed cake on the performance of broiler chicks. One week old, two hundred unsexed broiler chicks of the Ross 308 strain were randomly allotted to four treatments in a 4x5x10 arrangement. Four experimental broiler rations, semi-isocaloric semi-isonitrogenous, were formulated with ascending levels of A. digitata seed cake replacing performed total crude protein content of the diet percentage-wise as 0, 5, 10, and 15% and designated as rations A, B, C, and D respectively with ration A serving as the control. Experimental feeding was continued for 42 days on an ad-libitum basis, allowing for an initial adaptation feeding period of one week. The first three days of this adaptation used the pre-starter ration, then four days on the control diet before feeding the experimental rations. Data collected included daily feed intake (g), body weight (g), calculated protein intake and efficiency, energy intake (Mcal ME /Kg), and feed conversion ratio. An economic appraisal was run for the experiment. The highest daily feed intake (106.30), live weight gain (60.50), improved feed conversion ratio (01.70), highest cold carcass weight (02.44), and dressing percentage (66.10) were recorded by group B (5% Tebaldi) compared to the other groups. Group C (10% Tebaldi) gave the highest profitability, 97.22%. Adansonia digitata seed cake can be fed to broiler chicks up to 10% of the ration without adverse effects on the performance and with maximized profitability ratios of 1.3 -1.7 over the control.
