Abstract

Heavy metals are known for their toxic effects and lead to serious health problems. Fish is widely consumed, and the fish industry is rapidly growing. Heavy metals can accumulate in different parts of the fish from water, feed or sediment and can be further transferred to human consumers. The objective of the current study was to determine the concentrations of Cd and Pb in farmed fish tissues and fish feed. Fish tissues (head and fins, muscle and gills) in addition to feed samples were collected from two fish farms in Khartoum State. The levels of Cd and Pb were measured in the samples using Atomic Absorbance technique.  Cd and Pb were detected in all samples examined, but their levels were below the acceptable limits set by FAO/WHO and EU. The muscle tissue was found to have the lowest concentration of both minerals (Cd 0.0092±0.001mg/g and Pb 0.203 ± 0.01 mg/g respectively) and the highest concentration was found in the fins (Cd 0.017± 0.001 and Pb 0.263 ± 0.011 mg/g respectively) .The levels in the  feed were also  found to be below the acceptable limits. Cd and Pb were detected in all samples studied, although the levels were below acceptable limits. Albeit that, the continuous and regular measurement is important to determine any potential sources that can increase their levels which further can affect the health of fish and humans.

Abstract

This study addresses the imperative of sustainable broiler waste management in Thailand, a significant global producer and exporter of broiler meat. Utilizing an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) analysis, it systematically evaluates three waste management strategies – direct land application, composting, and gasification – across environmental, economic, technical, and social criteria with 15 sub-criteria. Climate change is identified as the top priority sub-criterion, followed closely by water use. Gasification emerges as the most preferred option with 52.6% preference, outperforming composting (24.8%) and direct land application (22.6%). A comprehensive analysis reveals gasification's superior environmental and social performance, while direct land application demonstrates economic efficacy. Composting exhibits a well-rounded performance across all criteria. Pioneering the AHP model in broiler waste management, this study offers policymakers crucial insights for formulating sustainable long-term policies to address this pressing issue.

Abstract

Five distinct African eggplants were used in the study to determine their nutritional and anti-nutrient contents which include: Solanum aethiopica, Solanum gilo, Solanum inacnum, Solanum macrocarpon and Solanum melomgena. These analyses were carried using standard methods. The result indicated that S. inacnum has the highest proximate composition with calorific value of 306.45 kcal, S. gilo recorded the lowest carbohydrate value (9.28%). S. aethiopica, had the lowest proximate values but recorded the most value of crude fibre (22.00 ± 0.02%). S. macrocarpon has a low crude protein of 10.47% and a higher carbohydrate of 40.74 while S. melomgena has the highest carbohydrate and moisture of 42.98 and 84.58% respectively. There is no significant difference (p≤0.5) between the values obtained for all the minerals, in all the eggplants. The anti-nutrient analysis showed that S. gilo has the highest oxalate (6.01 ± 0.02mg/g). S. macrocarpon has a lower saponin (14.05 ± 0.02), hydrocyanic acid (4.34 ± 0.02) and phenol (1.45 ± 0.0l). S. melongena has the lowest tannin of 1.01 ± 0.01 but has the highest nitrate of 1.03 ± 0.01 µg/g. This shows that the eggplant, S. incanum, has the highest nutrient composition and can be eaten regularly for health benefits.

Abstract

This study was done to examine the farmer’s perception and constraints on dairy cooperatives in Amhara region, Ethiopia. A sample of 266 smallholder dairy farmers was selected using a multi-stage sampling technique. Perception of farmers was analyzed using relative importance index, and constraints of dairy cooperative performance were analyzed using Henry Garrett's ranking technique.  The result indicates that farmers have a positive perception of certain attributes of dairy cooperatives; such as increasing social networks, improving income, and serving as a saving source. This suggests that farmers believe these aspects of dairy cooperatives are beneficial. Conversely, farmers have concerns and dissatisfaction with the way the cooperative is running, the loyalty of members to the cooperative, member's treatment by cooperatives, and the decision-making process. The study also identified that lack of milk processing facilities, poor member awareness, and member involvement in the decision-making process are the foremost internal challenges of dairy cooperatives, while high cost of cross-breed cows, occurrence of animal disease, and low productivity of local breed cows are external constraints hindering dairy cooperative performance. Thus, to enhance farmers' perception and participation in cooperative activities, emphasis should be given to addressing concerns and improving the overall functioning of dairy cooperatives.

Abstract

Participatory varietal selection was conducted in Southwestern part of Ethiopia to evaluate the performance of banana cultivars and to identify farmers’ preference and selection criteria in the study area. Seven banana cultivars collected from Melkassa agricultural research center were evaluated in single plot in 2020-2023 main cropping season. Farmers’ evaluation was made at two different stages of the crop, namely at vegetative and at maturity using both direct-matrix and pair-wise ranking methods of selection scheme. Farmers’ set; plant height, disease resistance/tolerance, fruit size and yield as selection criteria to evaluate and identify their preferred cultivars. The results of analysis of variance indicated the existence of highly significant differences among cultivars for all traits measured at 5% probability level. From the previous experiments, the highest mean yield was obtained from the cultivar William I (45.32 t/ha), Dinke-1 (45.1 t/ha), Lady Finger (40.16 t/ha) and Poyo (40 t/ha). Likewise, these three cultivars (William, Dinke-1, and Lady Finger) were identified as farmers preferred cultivars from both pair-wise and direct matrix ranking evaluations. Thus, these cultivars were chosen for their performance in the field and from farmers' evaluation perspective. Moreover, this study indicated participatory varietal selection is a viable method to gain greater insight into farmers’ perceptions, preferences, merits and shortcomings of banana cultivars. Therefore, based on the results of this study, William I, Dinke-1 and Lady Finger cultivars are recommended for multiplication and distribution to farmers in the area and similar agro-ecologies.

Abstract

Despite the crucial role of human labour in Ghana's cocoa farming sector, the industry grapples with pressing challenges that threaten its sustainability and productivity. This study considers the intricate dynamics of labour scarcity and rising costs, focusing on the Tafo District, Ghana. We specifically collected data from 100 cocoa farmers who have been farming for over 20 years in the Tafo District using the purposive sampling method, and selected 10 cocoa labourers using a snowball technique. We conducted a descriptive analysis of the data using SPSS and Excel spreadsheet. Labour scarcity, attributed to ‘galamsey' and 'okada’ activities, was acknowledged by 95% of respondents, and 84% noted high labour costs. Farmers pointed out that labour shortages affect the timing and frequency of their farm operations. With labour scarcity attributed to illegal mining and commercial motorcycle transportation, effective government intervention to regulate these activities in agricultural areas will be required.

Abstract

Ensuring food security by Indonesia's Golden Year in 2045 presents a formidable challenge, with advancements in agricultural technology anticipated to play a crucial role in attaining this goal. Rice is the major food crop in Indonesia, and its consumption is still considerably high, indicating that daily nutrient uptake relies on its grain. However, the current population of Indonesia demanding rice is 31.2 million tons and this number of populations will grow at the rate of 0.41 percent. The rice consumption of the Indonesian people is quite high, namely 114.6 kg per person per year. The rice harvest area in 2023 decreased by 2.45%, from 10.45 million hectares to 10.20 million hectares, resulting in rice production which also decreased from 31.54 million tons to 30.90 million tons. The average conversion of paddy fields to non-harvest areas in Indonesia reached 100,000 hectares per year. Meanwhile, the average ability to print rice fields is only 60,000 hectares a year. This means that there is a difference in the conversion of paddy fields of around 40,000 hectares per year. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to elucidate how agricultural technology can enhance rice production across different land types in Indonesia, thus supporting food security efforts. To achieve the objectives of this research, a systematic literature review method was used. The result of this study shows that the amalgamation of diverse technological advancements and innovative practices in rice cultivation holds immense promise in bolstering productivity, bolstering sustainability, and tackling nutritional deficiencies. Prospectively, the use of cutting-edge technology offers some insights that can be input for policy formulation, technological innovation, and community engagement strategies aimed at creating a safer, fairer, and more sustainable food future for Indonesia to achieve food security by 2045.

Abstract

This study analyzed poultry farmers’ utilization of agricultural credit in Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State, Nigeria. The population for the study consists of all the registered poultry farmers in Jos South Local Government Area. Multistage sampling technique was used in selecting the respondents for the study. Primary data were collected through the use of questionnaires and interview schedule and were subjected to both descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings from the study showed that majority (86%) of the poultry farmers’ were men, with a mean age of 42 years. Majorities (89%) were married and had five people on average per home. The study also showed that 51% of the farmers were educated beyond high school with a mean farming experience of 9 years and average stock size of 1658 birds. The responders received an average credit amount of ₦357224 while the average amount utilized for poultry business was ₦290164. About 75% of the farmers utilized the loan given to expand their existing farm business.  Gender, household size, farming experience and flock size were the significant determinants of agricultural credit utilization by the poultry farmers. Inadequacy of the credit amount received (58.0) and competing family needs (32%) were the main obstacles to using agricultural credit among the poultry farmers. The study recommended more budgetary allocations and farmer’s friendly policies by financial institutions to enable bigger volumes of disbursements to farmers.

Abstract

In our study, the biological activity of Hylocereus polyrhizus obtained from Türkiye was determined. Firstly, antimicrobial activity of methanol extracts obtained from H. polyrhizus against test microorganisms was determined by disc diffusion susceptibility assay, minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal or bactericidal concentration (MFC or MBC) tests. Then, viable cell counting against Limosilactobacillus fermentum MA-7 using the macro-dilution method was used to determine the probiotic-promoting effect of the fruit extracts. Finally, the photo-protective activity of the extracts and extract-cream mixtures was obtained spectrophotometrically. The inhibition zone diameter of the peel extract against the test microorganisms is in the range of 9.60-12.37 mm and the fruit extract is in the range of 7.85-12.00 mm. MBC values ranged from 40 µg/µl to 80 µg/µl in peel extract and between 10 µg/µl and >80 µg/µl in the fruit extract. The inhibition zone diameters of the extracts against probiotics were determined as 6.10 -10.25 mm. As a result of the viable cell count, the viability rate of L. fermentum MA-7 increased as the fruit methanol extract concentration and time increased. The photoprotective activities of the peel and fruit extracts were determined as 13.17 and 12.26. It was determined that the extracts increased sun protection factor (SPF) value of the cream. The results indicated that H. polyrhizus extracts may have potential for use in the nutraceutical products, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.
